In 1981, the band collaborated with Talking Heads ‘ David Byrne to produce a third full-length studio album. Reportedly due to differences with Byrne over the album’s musical direction, recording sessions for the album were aborted, prompting the band to release Mesopotamia in 1982 as an EP . (In 1991, Party Mix! and Mesopotamia , the latter of which had been remixed, were combined and released together on a single compact disc .) Also in 1982, the band appeared at the inaugural US Festival , performing on the first day.
