Sounds from True Stories, subtitled Music for Activities Freaks is the soundtrack to David Byrne's 1986 film True Stories. It was released only on cassette and LP.
The album is not a complete soundtrack recording, featuring only a couple of the vocal songs heard in the movie, with the rest being instrumental music. Byrne's band Talking Heads released the album True Stories, which contained versions of the other songs in the film.
"Glass Operator" is an orchestral rendition of "Dream Operator" featuring a glass harmonica; "City of Steel" is a steel guitar version of "City of Dreams", which, along with "Dream Operator", appears on Talking Heads' True Stories.
