Talk's Cheap was the first record from Canadian punks the Demics, a 1979 EP on Ready Records, and it's lean, mean and in a hurry, the kind of thing that sounds best played loud in a small, crowded room.
The one everybody remembers is "New York City", the first single, a restless, wiry rocker that gave the band its breakthrough on campus radio and on the commercial station CFNY. Its reputation only grew with time: in 1996 the readers of the Canadian music magazine Chart voted it the greatest Canadian song of all time.
