Very early Talking Heads without Jerry Harrison. Weird seeing them as a trio.

“Right after ‘Genius of Love,’ Tina did a photo session for New York Rocker with the photographer Laura Levine where she was photographed with Grandmaster Flash. She brought Grandmaster Flash back to the studio afterwards and introduced him to all of us. We were working on the live compilation album, The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads. He said, ‘I really liked that song “Genius of Love"… You’re going to be hearing that song a lot.’ And I said, ‘Oh, really, you think so?’ and he said, 'Yeah, man, take my word for it.’”

Talking Heads’ Chris Frantz Tells His Side of the Story in New Memoir, Remain in Love

Talking Heads – Love Goes To Building on Fire Dear Talking Heads, I think this came out on a compilation, NEW WAVE… it certainly never made it onto a Talking Heads original studio album. I borrowed the compilation from my friend, Gavin Friday, who said when I returned it that it had jam on it, and perhaps some breadcrumbs… as if someone had been eating toast whilst reading the track list. I told him it was a punk thing to do. Truth is, you were never a punk-sounding band…. your mettle was much more rarefied. That said, I don’t think there’s anything more punk than witnessing your arrival in the UK to play the Old Grey Whistle Test dressed as American tourists in London for the first time. One of you might’ve been carrying a camera. That’s when we start to understand that revolt - if it truly is that - probably doesn’t dress up as that. David, your character development makes quite an arch… from the tremulous voice debuting here, to the biting irony and dancing joy of the gigantic meta-performer you became in the film STOP MAKING SENSE all those experiments later. Wow. I could’ve chosen LIFE DURING WARTIME or ONCE IN A LIFETIME’s dueting with Brian Eno, but I chose this song because of its tender lack of clever. Thank you all for letting U2 support you on our very first tour of the UK… that was a very big break for us. Your opening act, Bono
