Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues (1983 - Sire)





This one has a somewhat bizarre blister pack style packaging in lieu of a normal record jacket. The packaging is slightly oversized and after moving some records around this stuck out kind of like a sore thumb so it leapt to the top of the queue. It's actually a pretty good album and it turns out that the packaging is a limited edition which won a Grammy award. Initially the oversized dimensions were really annoying but after looking at it more closely, it's really kind of cool. Wikipedia talks about it some. The condition of the record was pretty good especially since it's on clear vinly. The basic CD is selling on Amazon for $11 but the used special edition vinyl like mine from Amazon resellers (4) are being offered at from $55 to $275.
