One Thousand Dollars


Perusing Amazon and came across an 8-disc Talking Heads CD set for $1000.00.

Too much?

Too little?

Just right?

I love the Talking Heads and own their entire catalog. Had the pleasure of seeing them 11 times. Saying this I would not pay a grand for this collection.  

This was released by Rhino in 2005 and has been out of print for ages. Village Revival Records is the one who is asking for $1000, but as others have indicated, it can likely be had for less, but it all depends on the condition, too. Sealed is worth a lot more than non-sealed. If you're not a collector, it would not be worth $1000; if you are, it might very well be for you. 

Hey @crustycoot  I'll have to try that one out.  My main experience is with Stop Making sense and while I can get into the lyrics of some of the songs I thought the rhythm and bass playing was hypnotic instead of innovative.

Erik,

I enjoy reading your audio posts, but on this…admittedly a matter of taste…I cannot agree less.  Talking Heads was the last rock band I fully, totally loved before deciding popular music was not exciting me any more, specifically because of their rhythm section. For me, Remain In Light is a work of genius on every level.  I have a dts disc, the CD, an original LP, and I stream it in MQA.  That said, I would never pay that kind of money for a set of discs.

I'd pay good money for a DSD collection of the Moody Blues catalog (on gold plated disk media, of course). Never warmed up to Talking Heads though I do respect some of their songs.

A thousand bucks for an 8 CD set??!

Ridiculous. I don't care who the group is.
