DESCRIPTION:
40th Year Anniversay Copy Pressed on White Vinyl Textured outer sleeve.
2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the debut album of one of the most critically-acclaimed and pioneering bands to come out of the UK. Talk Talk’s The Party’s Over was a start of a journey for Mark Hollis (vocals), Simon Brenner (keyboards), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass) who constantly evolved throughout their career from synth-pop beginnings into pioneering avant-garde post-rock in the latter stages of the band, being a large influence on artists such as Radiohead, St. Vincent and many more.
Talk Talk launched with the release of the single Mirror Man in February 1982, followed by Today and the eponymous single Talk Talk, with the latter two charting #14 and #23 in the UK respectively. The Party’s Over was produced by Colin Thurston, the former engineer for David Bowie but was better known for producing Duran Duran's first two albums. Charting in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and USA, The Party’s Over is classic synth-pop teamed with lyrical depth that went on to be synonymous with lead singer, Mark Hollis. Earlier this year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of these singles, many of the B-sides were made available digitally for the first time such as Strike Up The Band and ? (aka Question Mark).

Talk Talk were an English band formed in 1981 by Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar, piano), Lee Harris (drums), Paul Webb (bass), and Simon Brenner (keyboards). The band initially performed as a synth-pop group, and their first two albums, "The Party's Over" (1982) and "It's My Life" (1984), reached the top 40 in the UK and produced international singles including "Talk Talk", "Today", "It's My Life", and "Such a Shame".
The band's third album, "The Colour of Spring" (1986), brought widespread critical acclaim in the UK and across Europe, with singles such as "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World". Their 1988 album, "Spirit of Eden", marked a shift toward a more experimental sound influenced by jazz and improvisation, helping to pioneer what later became known as post-rock. While "Spirit of Eden" received critical praise, it was less successful commercially.
Disputes with their label, EMI, led to legal action, and following Paul Webb's departure, Talk Talk moved to Polydor for their final studio album, "Laughing Stock" (1991), before disbanding. Mark Hollis released a solo album in 1998 and subsequently retired from the music industry; he died in 2019. Paul Webb and Lee Harris collaborated in several other projects, including .O.rang, while long-term collaborator Tim Friese-Greene continued working in music as a producer and musician.
