Talking Heads Remastered

Anyone out there splurg on the newly remastered Talking Heads Catalog "Brick"? Released on dualdisc with remastered stereo mixes on CD layer and extra tracks from the recording sessions and video and 5.1 mixes on the DVD layer. Every Talking Heads studio album is in the collection.

These albums were in desperate need of remastering as they came out in the late seventies and 80s. The original CD attempts sound pretty bad.

I've only been istening for a week and don't do 5.1, but the new mixes really add alot. They are tastfully done (Jerry Harrison had a lot to do with it) and sound great. I encourage any Talking heads fan to update their collection with this set.

Anyone else hear these things?

These tracks (or most of them at least)are available on the Talking Heads box set Once In A Lifetime in remastered form.
This was released late 2003/early 2004.

I have it, I'd actually prefer the individual albums but the DVD aspect holds no interest for me.
Like the Springsteen release,here in the UK these discs have the DVD as a seperate disc.

I was a bit disappointed in the packaging of the brick. I will likely look for deals on the individual releases wich have nicer pacakging. It is good to know about the European 2 disc relseases -- I am not sure my CD player can play DualDiscs.

Paradales the TH box set is a monstrosity imho.

"Ok we've got 3 CD's of stuff what will we do?"

"I know make it 3 CD's wide!"

Yuck,terrible concept and horrible art but the liner notes are very good
