Fear of Music (Super Deluxe Edition) is a 3CD/Blu-ray set that includes a new remaster of the original album, rarities, and two complete concerts from the album’s tour recorded at Boston’s Berklee Performance Center (8/24/79) and the Capitol Theatre in New Jersey (11/17/79). Nearly all the performances are previously unreleased except a few that appeared on 1982’s The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads. Pre-Order Here.
The Blu-ray includes new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, and high-resolution stereo mixes of the album, along with rare film footage of the band performing two songs in England for the BBC’s popular music show, Old Grey Whistle Test. The live performance of “Life During Wartime” from that BBC broadcast is officially published to the band’s YouTube channel. The live performance of “Life During Wartime” from that broadcast is available to view. Watch Now.
Vinyl configurations arrive the same day, led by a 6LP Super Deluxe Edition that collects the remastered album, rarities, and concert recordings. A 2LP version features the remastered album and rarities. Both versions feature a custom etching.
The vinyl and CD Super Deluxe Editions come with a 60-page hardcover book featuring rare photos and liner notes by Will Hermes, author of Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever.
