Talk Talk - "The Colour of Spring" (rip from original LP 1986) 

this is a masterpiece

One of the best albums on this planet. You never get bored listening to it, even after decades it's still fresh, thrilling and catchy. Life's what you make it!

The sound production and instrumentation on this album will never be replicated again. Pure brilliance. I'll never forget the first time I heard the first bars of Happiness is Easy and forever reassessed my standards for musical fulfillment forever. Thank you Talk Talk, MH, I'll never stop playing your music and this album is the pinnacle of musical perfection!!

One of the greatest albums of all time. Mark Hollis was a genius.

Happiness Is Easy need to be listened to with headphones All those sounds and notes that never repeat. So many bands take a riff and use it over and over. It boggles my mind how Mark could imagine such a song and make it work. The other members of Talk Talk deserve some credit also. In my opinion all of their music need to be listened to with headphones at least once. With each listen you discover something new.

This really is a fabulous album, Todays music has nothing on this.

I was 21 when I bought this album on Vinyl in Aberdeen. I was 43 when I bought the Cd in Bangkok.. I am 55 & listen to it on youtube for free.. Happiness is easy

Happiness Is Easy. A superb example to other musicians of how less is more. The way they use / allow each other the space is incredible.

Every so often, you'll find music that touches your soul. Thank so much Talk Talk, and Mark Hollis!!! 🎶❤️🎵

Talk talk were in my opinion another top rated band of the 80s I loved them...

I remember sitting on the floor of a room of a person I adored, listening to the album, when the main door opened and her mother came home with the dog, a Dobermann. The dog saw me and came running straight towards me, just stopping one cemtimeter before my face. My relief instantly mixed with the line “life’s what you make it”.

Talk Talk is still on the list as one of the best bands of the 80s.

This is the soundtrack to my life at the moment - I just can't get enough of this album. Pure genius and such a beautiful sound! Absolute perfection!

Hollis is a true great, an artist who refused to play record company politics. When the money men at the label insisted they needed hit singles he gave them back to back jazz fusion album masterpieces (Eden and Laughing Stock) We won't see that level of artistic bravery again. Rest in power brother Hollis. A one off in a world stuffed full of fakes.

i am physically disabled by a car accident 18 years ago since then, music is my support, thanks :-)

Lights off Black and White film on no sound This album on headfones Heaven Take it away Mike 🥁🎸🎶❤️✌️🙏

34 years and it seems i will never get tired listening. Soundtrack of the 80ees and Soundtrack of my Life. Still.

Just wow wow wow !!! Hits deep into you're soul. Captivating beautiful. Thankyou MH . R.I.P

It's like they say.. Youth is wasted on the young. I appreciate this album so much more now than I did years ago.

this album is pure bliss

The transition from Chameleon Day to Time its Time is exceptional. Also, that final track is one of the best endings to an album, simply brilliance.

One of my favorite in 80s. Such amazing talent.

22 and just discovering this after being into Depeche Mode forever... Fuck yes. Absolutely fuck yes.

Ho 57 anni e ho conosciuto questo album del tutto casualmente in questi giorni. Era veramente molto tempo che non ascoltavo della musica di questo livello. Disarmante nella sua pura bellezza.

The only album you need👍

Capolavoro assoluto. Una voce fantastica, una band eccezionale, un suono sublime.

Nunca los vi en directo y siento una tremenda decepción por ello. Amo a Talk Talk❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Time It's Time is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Hollis was genius RIP Mark

This album is an absolute treat. It gets better as you get older. There is such an important spirituality to it - a delicate but penetrating soulfulness. With music like this life really is worth living.

I am crying because I remember the memories of coming home putting the vinyl on and being blown away by its beauty all those years ago damn it!

Came back to this today after many years and it's one of those rarities that sounds even better 30+ years later. It has what for me is the mark of true class - the songs are never predictable. I mean this in the sense that, if you listen as though you're hearing this for the first time, you're not usually able to predict what chord, key or tempo comes next within the song. More often that not the music goes off on wonderful tangents. The other thing that I'm struck by is how well these guys could play (and compose). Not for the first time, I wish I'd paid more attention when I saw this band in the flesh, as a support act.

Probably one of the top 5 albums ever recorded.... 45 minutes of utter perfection & as all Talk Talk fans know one of their greatest ever songs the truly astonishing 'It's Getting Late In The Evening' couldn't even find a place on this album!! Timeless & rest easy Mark.

Je ne l'avais pas écouté depuis des décennies,je redécouvre,j'adore,quelle voix magnifique,cet album est une tuerie!!!!!!

Probably one of the 5 best bend ever!!!

masterpiece and the best is still to come with two amazing albums"spirit of eden" and "laughing stock" ;)

Reminds me of driving back from pembrokeshire with my big sister julie. It's amazing how music can take you back. This is a stunner of an album. Share it with the next generation.... now!

crazyyyy good album; just nothing like this any longer. an incredible talent and a really good person gone...like my sweet Delores O'Riordan....just glad i was alive to get lost in their genius

En el top five de los 80`s

What a genius, I still cry after all this years... 43:00

Thank you for posting and for all your work. This albim is a piece of art. I had a very good time listening to it, here. THANK YOU. And thanks to Mark and his great band.

Brilliant record....should have been way bigger, a little too good for the masses I feel

one of the best albums ever

I always get blown away by the harmonica in this piece... (25:33)

Sublime

absolut A-class music!!goosebumps never lie.⛽

Growing up I could not avoid hearing Life's What You Make It on a regular basis, but now I've listened to the rest of the album I realise I was missing out on an incredible album. Thank you so much for sharing this.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT BAND! Hollis Had Such A Beautiful Voice!

Loved this group. Mark was a great singer. Great band. Never get tired of listening.

getting home after a full-on uni weekend and spinning this ... such good memories ...

Siempre fue mi banda predilecta ,los cassettes me acompañaban donde fuera,en Buenos Aires,Rosario o Mendoza,siempre conmigo. Ahora tengo todos Los CDs y me siguen adónde vaya. Gracias Talk Talk

For some reason I love listening to this album every time summer comes.

You’ve done a brilliant job cleaning & fine tuning the sound off this recording from the mid 80s my friend. Thank you for your time, effort & sharing this masterpiece of an album with us all. Mark Hollis (RIP) & the band members of Talk Talk would’ve loved the care & dedication to their work. Well done👍🏼😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Una joya que nos dejaron los años "80".

Man, I love the sound (and especially the guitarsolo) of I Don´t Believe In You! Amazing song! And amazing album!

The album that hinted at the glory to come!

One of the best album of the 80's even if i prefer the two first albums of this famous band. Happiness is easy and Time it's time are very great and what about the singles? Very genius, a plus for Give it up.

Happy April 5th! Talk talk fans

no matter how proverbially cloudy our days may be from time to time, I've always found this album and its moving lyrics to be such a meaningful ray of sunshine

Thank you, my friend. Spend a long time doing this work for everyone is speechless. forgive me, my english is bad.

Yes, Mark Hollis was great but the members of the band were also superb, Being an aged musician myself, I could listen to the drummer grooving on his own….just thought they needed a big thumbs up!!

So Beauty music i feel so strong and innocent at the same time 💕 love it

Hermoso.

Pura esencia de los 80 ....a disfrutarla .

wow. first time listener. that is beautiful ❤️

Fantastic album!!💕

C'est tellement beau, magique...que chaque fois que je l'écoute j'en ai les larmes aux yeux...

track by track , i am being reminded of how beautiful this album is,,,i bought it on vinyl in 1986 then CD

that outro to the last song is just so amazing... “Now it’s over....”

TIME IT'S TIME - probably the best final song on an album, in repeat: the best!!

Beautiful job! Thank you so much❤

One of the best albums ever.

Hi, the color of spring TalkTalk, very good album, beautiful melodies for incredible lyrics. Miss you all. Hug.God bless you all.🙌🙏

Muy triste que un virtuoso nos haya dejado solos. Sehr traurig, dass einen Virtuos uns alleine gelassen hat.

QUÉ BANDA POR DIOS.

It's timeless really...could have been recorded last year...or in 1999...or... My favourite album.

Esto es arte musical en su máxima expresión........solo siento felicidad

Great thanks for posting this 🙏🏻❤️

Favorite cd by Talk Talk legendary👍🇺🇸💯❤️😻rip Mark & Rupert

Decades ahead of their time. You can hear how they might have influenced later bands, Radiohead, electronic music. So beautiful.

the best album from the 80s

Music is music and TALK TALK IS TALK TALK ....

Lo tengo en disco de vinilo, pero el sonido del cassette original es impresionante. Es la mejor forma de escuchar i dont believe in you

🙏🙏Que voz linda tinha MARCK HOLLIS ,Ainda sua Beleza esquia incomparável a qualquer roqueiro.Jamais vou deixar de ouvir suas músicas ver seus shows. 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I mourned the day when my tape deck chewed up my favourite tape. Thank goodness for 'modern' technology! Thank you Mark et al. Love the videos too! Just brilliant.

hi, excellent album the colors of spring TalkTalk. Arrangements, beautiful melodies for amazing song lyrics. Talented musicians, they give a show of presentation with their musical instruments, perfect harmony, harmony between all of the band.Miss you, Hug 🙏🇧🇷

Beautiful

Me ha parecido muy buen disco, la primera vez que lo escucho conociendo la música del grupo ¡ perdérmelo en 1986¡

You are in my and our heart, Mark.

No one rocks as much as Mark Hollis did.Super groove and super rocker!!
