Not keen.  I own signed items from Byrne, Frantz, and Weymouth, and I don’t like the look of any of their signatures on this LP.  I suspect these were all signed by the same hand (but not the band).

I took the liberty of looking up the eBay listing for this.  The guy claims the LP was a gift from his wife, so there’s no known provenance here.  His feedback is low, and he doesn’t have any other listings to check, to get a feel for other items he’s sold in the past.

If I were you, I’d pass on this one.

You’re very welcome.  It’s what we do here.

Please bear in mind, whilst I am a longtime fan of Talking Heads, I wouldn’t consider myself an expert when it comes to their signatures.  I just know what I’ve received in person and bought via official sources.  Other folk here may have a different opinion on this LP, so it’s worth waiting for them to chime in.

David Byrne looks like its signed right handed... Hes a leftie. In my opinion, these are not real. I also say stay away

I've gotten Byrne (always wanted the rest of the band). I don't like this piece at all. Looks like they were all signed by the same person
