Also here's a good review that talks about Tina Weymouth's strange hatred/obsession with David Byrne:

This should be the link to the box set at Amazon. (Mods, I got to this through the Amazon link at the top of the page, but it may need to be properly link-ified.)

I had thought about getting this set, but there wasn't enough to make me want to get rid of the current "Sand in the Vaseline" set I have and pay $47 for the new set.

Nice set, but the package is 16 inches wide and 5 inches tall.

How are we supposed to store this?

yeah, the package shape is ridiculous. it makes reading the booklet really really hard. the artwork, however, is really really neat. the talking heads have never really been "conventional" though, have they?

No more oddly shapped than any other box set.

Is the $39 Best Buy price still in effect?

I didn't even know that there was a Talking Heads box set! It's going right on my Christmas wishlist...just in case anyone wants to buy it for me.

Kudos to Rhino! They've done some great work with the remastered Elvis Costello and Television CDs. I hope that this set is just as good.

actually... yes! in fact, it's now on sale for $37.99! that's an excellent price. keep in mind, there is a DVD in the box too.

however, if you are to order directly from Rhino, they were claiming to offer a free poster of the set's artwork as a bonus gift.
