You mean an OFFICIALLY-RELEASED LIVE ALBUM from The dB's?!?
Yes, Virginia, there is a benevolent, music-loving Santa Claus.
The upcoming Record Store Day will feature The dB's Cycles Per Second: US Tour 2024 as well as archival material from Tommy Keene (Songs From the Film: The 1984 Reflection Sessions), Marshall Crenshaw (The Bootleg Sounds of Marshall Crenshaw 1984-1987), and, of course, Talking Heads (The CBS/Columbia Demos).
Regarding the dB's live LP, April 18 will see Propeller Sound release a special version for nut cases like us: "Pressed on Firework Splatter vinyl for Record Store Day 2026, with a full-color insert of tour photos. Limited to 1500 copies." It's mixed by Chris Stamey (de rigueur), and here's the track listing:
A SIDE: A1. Black and White A2. Big Brown Eyes A3. Love Is for Lovers A4. Happenstance A5. Cycles Per Second A6. Lonely Is (As Lonely Does)
A SIDE: A1. Black and White A2. Big Brown Eyes A3. Love Is for Lovers A4. Happenstance A5. Cycles Per Second A6. Lonely Is (As Lonely Does)
B SIDE: B1. That Time Is Gone B2. She's Not Worried B3. Ask for Jill B4. Amplifier B5. Neverland B6. Dynamite B7. Window to a Screen
Don't sleep through this one. Although The dB's RSD selection (alas) probably won't disappear terribly soon with a pressing of 1,500, the Tommy Keene release will be limited to 1,000 copies and the Crenshaw collection to just 900 (both as "Limited Run / Regional Focus" releases).
Happy Hunting.
