The Talking Heads legendary rockumentary 'Stop Making Sense' will make its way to Blu-ray format with added material.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Stop Making Sense, the Jonathan Demme-directed film will be accompanied by extras including frontman David Byrne interviewing himself and a couple performances that were left out of the original.

The film has been reviewed as one of the best rock docs of all time, and features the Heads’ performances at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre in December of 1983, as the group was touring to promote their album Speaking in Tongues.

Although the band split in 1991, all four members managed to put the bad blood to rest for a press conference in 1999.  Footage of this event will be  included in the anniversary release and an excerpt can be seen here

Stop Making Sense will be released on Blu-ray in October.
