Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met as students at Rhode Island School of Design, and made music in their college band called The Artistics. In the spring semester of 1974, the band gathered in Frantz’s Benefit Street apartment to record a demo tape. The cassette featured tracks soon to be classics in the Talking Heads discography: “Warning Sign” and “Psycho Killer.” This new collection includes this newly discovered material alongside an additional 11 demo and live tracks recorded by the original trio lineup of the band (Bassist Tina Weymouth alongside Frantz and Byrne) in 1975 and 1976.
