Even regular stock copies of TALKING HEADS:77 have gotten hard to find over the past few years; but Cloud 8 Music at Dolly Python is proud to offer two rare pressings of this iconic album.
The promotional copy, which was given to radio stations to promote the band and the album, is a great addition to any Talking Heads collection.
Beyond rare is the crown jewel of Talking Heads LP’s; the original test pressing! Test pressings are the very first copies ever made of an album, usually in quantities of 10-20 at the most.
For a serious collector of the band, what could be cooler than owning one of the very first pressings of their first album? It doesn’t get and better than this. You are quite unlikely to see another copy, anywhere, ever!

Rainy Day Blues

Bottom Left: The James Cotton Band, 100% Cotton. Released in ’74 on Buddah Records. Cotton began his professional career playing the blues harp for the notorious Howlin’ Wolf’ in the early 1950s. After a few solo releases, he formed the Jimmy Cotton Blues Quartet in early ’64, then The James Cotton Band in 1970. Tracks to note, “Burner”, “Creeper Creeps Again”, and “Boogie Thing”.
Top Right: Bobby Bland, Here’s The Man. Repress from Duke Records in ’75 of Bland’s 1962 studio album, in rough shape but a rare find. Notable tracks, “Jelly Jelly Jelly” and “Stormy Monday Blues”.
Bottom Right: John Lee Hooker, Detroit Special. Volume 5 of Atlantic Records “Blues Originals” series, released in 1972. Recordings on this album took place in ’53 and ’61. Slight warp but a great play. Tracks to note, “Misbehaving Baby” and “I Aint Got Nobody”.
