Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues

Fifth studio album released June 1, 1983. Robert Rauschenberg designed the album cover for Talking Heads’ fifth studio album. Rauschenberg’s cover, with three spinning plastic discs and a clear vinyl LP, all packed in a vacu-form clamshell, was too costly for regular copies of the album; so, the album was issued with a conventional (David Byrne designed) cover and a limited-edition Rauschenberg version. In 1984 Rauschenberg won a well-deserved Best Album Cover Grammy Award for his cover. The cassette version contained longer versions of five tracks than the LP, "Making Flippy Floppy", "Girlfriend is Better", "Slippery People", "I Get Wild/Wild Gravity", and "Moon Rocks".
