Talking Heads – Fear of Music (2026 Remaster) (140g Black Vinyl 2LP, Out 11/11/2026)

Talking Heads’ third album, originally released in 1979, connects the angular art rock of their early work with the funk-driven experimentation that followed. The 2026 remaster includes classics such as ‘I Zimbra’, ‘Cities’, ‘Life During Wartime’ and ‘Heaven’.

This edition pairs the remastered album with six studio rarities and alternate versions, including the 12-inch version of ‘I Zimbra’. Pressed on two 140g black vinyl records in a gatefold sleeve, with an etched fourth side.

Pre-order — released 11 November 2026.
