I kind of ignored the previous two records including this one, their 1982 debut.
Produced/encouraged at the time to jump on the New Romantic bandwagon, this is so much more engaging, hooky and lyrically smarter than either of the then sound-a-likes, Duran Duran’s first two records.
Talk Talk dramatically changed direction on each subsequent release over the next four albums. Each and every one of them are must haves in my collection.

DavidOne of my all time favorites, this record just oozes class. Buying this on vinyl was a no-brainer. Getting a free copy of this astounding album on hi-res DVD-A along with the vinyl copy was the icing on top.

DavidThe recent death of Mark Hollis at just 64 years of age was a big shock. His early songs from the first three Talk Talk records, while sounding clearly of their time in the mid-eighties, were the epitome of pop hook on continuous replay.
