A number of rare recordings by Talking Heads have been collected for a new compilation to be released for the Black Friday edition of Record Store Day.
Featuring 13 tracks, Tentative Decisions collects early demos of songs that would eventually appear on the band’s first two albums: 1977’s Talking Heads: 77 and 1978’s More Songs About Buildings And Food. It also includes a live recording of ‘Artists Only’ from the Lower Manhattan Ocean Club, and versions of ‘Psycho Killer’ and ‘Warning Sign’ credited to David Byrne and Chris Frantz’s first band, The Artistics.
The release will only be available at record stores participating in Record Store Day Black Friday on November 28.
Earlier this year, the band’s second album, More Songs About Buildings And Food, was reissued with added bonus material.
Rhino will release Tentative Decisions on November 28, 2025.
