Description

Up for sale is a Japanese pressing of The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads (2LP), complete with obi strip and all original inserts—a highly collectible and great-sounding edition.

Vinyl Condition: Near Mint (NM-)

Playback is outstanding overall—clean, dynamic, and quiet. Detailed notes from play grading:

  • Side 1: Clean playback, excellent sound
  • Side 2: Clean throughout
  • Side 3: One light tick around 16 minutes (as track fades out)
  • Side 4: Extremely minor tick around 14 minutes (barely noticeable)

Outside of these two very minor, isolated moments, the records play beautifully with no distracting surface noise.

Cover & Packaging: Near Mint (NM)

  • Cover is clean and well-preserved
  • Obi strip included – NM condition
  • All inserts included – NM condition
  • Stored in protective plastic sleeve
  • Please see Photos

Runout / Pressing Info

Runouts include markings such as:

  • 1-A-0 / 1-A-1 / 1-A-10 / 1-A-12

These indicate early mother/stamper codes, supporting this as an early pressing.

Additional Notes

Japanese pressings are prized for their quiet vinyl and high production quality, and this copy absolutely delivers—ideal for both collectors and audiophile listening.
