Brian Eno - David Byrne – My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (Vinyl LP, 1981, Sire SRK 6093, Winchester Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts brought Brian Eno and David Byrne together for an experimental collage of funk, electronic textures, found sounds, and sampled voices. The album's integration of recorded speech and music was an important early exploration of sampling techniques before digital sampling became commonplace. This original track configuration includes “Qu'Ran,” which was omitted from later editions.

Collector Note
This February 1981 U.S. Sire SRK 6093 edition is the no-barcode Winchester pressing with “Sire” positioned below the label logo. The supplied runouts carry machine-stamped STERLING markings, consistent with mastering at Sterling Sound by Greg Calbi.
