Talking heads-Once in a life time.

I have just bought this single released 1984,and was suprised when I played it to hear it was live,I don't recall this was released as a live single,but the version taken from "Remain in the light " LP,can anyone confirm this?

 

You have the second issue. Once in a lifetime was released in 1980-81 (can't remember which) around the time of Remain in Light. The one you have was from the Stop Making Sense live LP sessions IIRC.

I think that must be the live recording released as a single - great performance!

 

Hi,

Once in a lifetime came out in Feb 1981. I remember buying it at the time. It was the first UK hit single for the band. One thing that made it a hit was the quirky video featuring David Byrne's dancing & funny actions. Great video.

The live version came from the "Stop making Sense" album in 1984. This was best remembered for David Byrne's big suit.
