Following the success of the two live LPs bookending Mars's trajectory through the skies of NYC, Mark Cunningham was convinced to return to his legendary box of cassettes. Even he was surprised to discover the band's earliest shows (done under the name China) were there, amidst a tumble of other tapes. Thus, the idea was born for a trilogy of LPs tracing Mars's development from their first audition gig at CBGB through the shows following their 1980 Lust/Unlust EP. China to Mars is the first volume, and really displays for the first time how much the band's earliest music was a mutated variation on some of NYC's extant juggernauts, in particular Television and the Patti Smith Group. While their sound was clearly their own, the textures and techniques they're using to achieve them are far less alien than they'd become. Side one was recorded at China's audition night at CBGB in Feb. '77, and their follow-up show in June. It's amazing how good it sounds. And the songs are almost all unheard (apart from 'Cry,' which appeared on the 2012 Anomia tape box). Even 3E is nearly unrecognizable from it's released version recorded the following year. The second side is from Sept. '77, once they had started calling themselves Mars. The shuddering blocks of sound for which they are known are beginning to coalesce, and Sumner's dark vocals are pushed to the fore. The music is stunning. You can hear the band on the very cusp of transforming itself into the group that recorded those incredible early sides. Wow, can't wait for the next two volumes -Byron Coley, 2015. Edition of 800.

Hard to judge thickness with only dimensions to go by
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
Very nice quality, just what I hoped for. But it's just too thick for me. I'm thinking of using my electric knife to try to skim enough off to be usable. I've slept most of my life on latex pillows and have not enjoyed using other pillows.

Good pillow, but too high for my neck
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
I love the Talalay latex for the quality, and that there is no smell. However, it is too high for my neck. I wish the company would make it in a 3" version, instead of just 5.5". They do have a "slim" version, but it is not even the same kind of pillow. It measures 2.5" and the back side is completely flat, so you can not turn it in over for use. The company basically took this 5.5" version and cut it in half for the slim.

The Ultimate Natural Latex Pillow
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
I recently switched to the Talatex 100% Natural Premium Latex Pillow and it has transformed my sleep. Unlike synthetic memory foam, this Purefusion Talalay Latex is incredibly supportive yet soft, providing excellent pressure relief for both my neck and shoulders. I appreciate knowing there are no harsh chemicals in the core.  It retains its shape perfectly night after night and stays cool thanks to the breathable material. The quality is immediately apparent, especially with the removable Tencel cover, which is luxuriously smooth. It arrived in a beautiful package, truly making it the best gift for anyone seeking a healthier, more comfortable night's sleep. Highly recommended!

The Natural Way to Better Sleep.
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5"), Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
After trying out several latex over the years, the Talatex Talalay 100 stands out for its luxurious comfort, quality materials, and overall sleep experience. Made from 100% natural Talalay latex, it offers a perfect balance of softness and support. Comfort & Support: The Talalay latex feels incredibly buoyant yet plush. I found it especially beneficial for relieving neck pain. Temperature Regulation: One of the best aspects is its breathability. Latex naturally sleeps cooler than other foams. Eco-Friendliness: Another big plus is that it’s made from natural latex with no synthetic additives, making it a healthier and more environmentally friendly choice. It’s also hypoallergenic, which is great for allergy sufferers. Verdict: If you're looking for a premium latex sleep surface that delivers both comfort and longevity, the Talatex Talalay 100 is a solid investment. It’s not the cheapest option out there, but the quality and sleep experience justify the price.

Finally sleeping well again
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5"), Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
Got the standard soft and the height is just right - perfect mix of plush and supportive. My neck pain is basically gone. Love that it stays cool through the night thanks to the little vent holes, and the Tencel cover feels super soft. Holds its shape really well too, no flattening. Packaging felt like a gift. Worth every penny.
