Notes
The first disc features the original quartet on live recordings from 1977 and 1979. The second disc expands to a ten piece lineup that is from live sets in 1980 and 1981. The name of the album is reference to the group's preference to not have "the" in their name and a nod to the way David Byrne would introduce songs live - just by saying the name of the song.

Has anyone encountered this copy with a wrap-around obi-style seal? Mine has one and there are no pics here of similar.

I Just acquired a near mint 1982 Winchester pressing. The sound is really excellent, although it doesn't have a particularly big or deep sounds stage, the record is dead quiet with outstanding detail. Drums in particular are clean and precise, with a very level overall presentation. Getting older records can always be hit or miss, and this particular one is fantastic. It's a great performance and great recording, and in this case great pressing. Record is also dead flat. A+

Soa bem, os encartes são muito bonitos e cheio de ilustrações.
Sounds good, the inner sleeves are very pretty and full of illustrations. -
FRICK IT! WE'RE GOING LIVE!

Air
Love -> Building On Fire
Houses In Motion
Life During Wartime
Take Me To The River -
Lots of great bonus tracks here not on the original record. They've reconstructed the entire '80 set, but using different locations. Sounds amazing. Maybe they'll make a vinyl box set someday.

Excellent pressing - I’ve been avoiding newly issued vinyl as too many disappointments (Kevin Gray excepted) but this is absolutely brilliant; involving, detailed, spaced soundstage. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Chris Bellman, ordered your Swordfishtrombones after listening to this.
-
The 2021 pressing in opaque red is the definitive one and sounds better. The 2013 edition doesn't sound bad but it is very normal, the 2021 edition is more detailed.
-
The best pressing I've heard of this album, I can't believe it. The details draw you into the music without distractions. This is a love
