Stop Making Sense Double Vinyl

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the celebrated Talking Heads and Jonathan Demmes concert film Stop Making Sense, the set will be rereleased as a 2LP and 2CDBluray set this summer.When it arrived in September 1984, Stop Making Sense was an artistic and commercial triumph. The film had people dancing in theatre aisles, and the soundtrack sold over two million copies. Just last year, the Library of Congress added Stop Making Sense to the National Film Registry in recognition of its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance. The inspiration for Stop Making Sense came when director Jonathan Demme saw Talking Heads perform during the bands 1983 tour for Speaking in Tongues. Afterward, he approached them with the idea of making the show into a concert film. They agreed and worked together over the next few months to finalize the details. Ultimately, Demme filmed three shows at Hollywoods Pantages Theater in December 1983 to create Stop Making Sense.
