Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met as students at Rhode Island School of Design, and made music in their college band called The Artistics. In the spring semester of 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 the material from the Black Friday LP release, as well as their CBS/Columbia Demos (disc 2) and live tracks recorded in 1976 & 1977 (disc 3).
