David Byrne, Rei Momo, 1989 on Luaka Bop / Sire / WB

David Byrne’s first “solo” album which “transforms and pays tribute to the music of Latin America.” (Solo in the sense of not with Talking heads, but with a ton of talented musicians).

The vinyl releases omit three songs that were on the CD – would be a great candidate for a deluxe vinyl reissue 2xLP as I don’t think a new LP edition has been made since 1989.

My copy—via the Worcester Record Riot—is a 1989 direct-metal-mastering pressing via Specialty Records
