"Going through Warner Bros. Records' back catalog of music and picking a favorite song wasn't easy," says Missy Higgins. "There have been so many classics over the years, and it was particularly intimidating to attempt to cover a song that was so perfect in its original form. For that reason, I chose one with a real '80s sound so that I could make it my 'folky' own. It's funny how the meaning of a song can change suddenly with its musical interpretation."

"We were really excited to be asked to record a song for the Warner Bros. Records' 50th anniversary compilation album," says The Used's Quinn Allman. "We were in the studio working on our own album and one day in September we decided on the spot to do "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads. We liked the natural energy of the song so we kept it pretty simple and just had fun with it."

In celebration of Warner Bros. Records' milestone, the title "Revolutions In Sound" has been applied to a number of recent releases highlighting the company's golden anniversary. The multi-platform approach to telling the Warner story includes a 240-page hardcover book, authored by music historian and educator Dr. Warren Zanes, featuring exclusive interviews, never-before-seen photographs, and insider accounts of how the hits were born. Released on December 9th, the deluxe package, which comes in a custom box, also includes a USB flash drive molded in metal in the form of the WBR shield logo. The drive holds 320 recordings reflecting the company's stature as one of the most consistently successful labels in history and home to some of the most influential and innovative artists in contemporary music. In addition, Chronicle Books has published Zanes' Revolutions In Sound tome as a stand-alone title that is currently available through traditional and on-line retailers.
