The Party's Over (known simply as Talk Talk in the U.S.) was also the first album by Talk Talk. It was released in 1982 and produced by Colin Thurston, who was a former engineer for David Bowie but was better known for producing Duran Duran's first two albums.
It did poorly in the United States - the album reached #132 on the Billboard pop album charts. Yet, in the United Kingdom, its single "Today" was a top twenty hit and the remixed version of the single "Talk Talk" reached an impressive #1 in South Africa in 1983 (#75 in the U.S.).
