Talking Heads, “Psycho Killer” alternate take w/ Arthur Russell on cello (1977)
From Will Hermes’ Love Goes to Buildings on Fire:
Had things played out differently, the fourth position in Talking Heads might have gone to Arthur Russell. He was a fan of the band; he had helped them get their first art-scene gig in March at the Kitchen…Russell’s friendship with Talking Heads got him invited to play cello on a take of “Psycho Killer” during the sessions for Talking Heads ‘77 (the band ultimately went with a different version for the album).
This is that take.
