Talking Heads announce a “super deluxe” reissue of their 1979 album Fear of Music. The release is packaged in multiple formats, including a three–CD plus Blu-ray option and expanded vinyl sets, and it features a range of previously issued and archival content.
Across coverage, the reissue includes a remastered version of the original album. It also draws on material from the band’s 1979 tour, including live concert recordings presented as additional sets, along with other archival features such as studio outtakes and previously unreleased or newly surfaced recordings. One outlet describes the package as including multiple CDs and Blu-ray or six-LP vinyl configurations, while another emphasizes the compilation approach and the inclusion of both unearthed live performances and studio material.
Together, the reports present a comprehensive collector-focused edition that centers on remastering Fear of Music while expanding it with live recordings from the period and supplementary studio tracks and extras.
