Demo & Live Tracks on 3CD!
First Official Release of the Band's 1975 Demo Session for CBS/Columbia Records!

Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met as students at Rhode Island School of Design, and made music in a college band called The Artistics. In spring semester 1974, the band gathered in Frantz's Benefit Street apartment to record a demo tape. The cassette featured tracks soon to be classics in the Talking Heads discography: "Warning Sign" and "Psycho Killer."

This 3CD collection includes this newly discovered material alongside additional demo and live tracks recorded by the original trio lineup of the band (bassist Tina Weymouth alongside Frantz and Byrne) in 1975 and 1976 alongside the first official release of the band's demo session for CBS/Columbia Records in 1975, as well as rare live recordings of the original trio lineup in 1976 and 1977.

Tentative Decisions is a must for anyone whose favorite time of the Talking Heads is their early days, as it tracks those times of newness and rapid growth to an almost granular degree.
-Fred Thomas, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars
