Talking Heads were one of the most original and entertaining bands of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. This Guy Juke poster announced two September 1979 Talking Heads shows at the Armadillo. More than any other great poster artist, Juke continually experimented and developed his artistic styles. Over time, his reputation has deservedly grown as collectors gain perspective on his brilliance.
These Talking Heads concerts were in support of their third album “Fear of Music” in August, and 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 the year prior.
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, as they transformed from a quirky CBGB spectacle to the addition of their new producer, Brian Eno, tightening up the rhythm section's energy for more dance-oriented beats and high-quality album production.
