This Talking Heads poster was produced for their appearance in Paris at the Theatre Le Palace in late 1979. The band's third album “Fear of Music” released in August had already gained hot popularity on a national scale with their cover of Al Green’s “Take Me To The River” which reached the Top 30 Billboard Single Charts. 

 

Original Talking Heads concert posters have been showing a recent spike in interest by collectors due to their promotional material being very limited and rarely surfacing. This piece is especially scarce and unique because it’s from very early in their career. 100% Original with no restoration!
