The dance floors never been the same since The B-52s set out from Athens, Georgia, on their way to becoming the worlds greatest party band. Now, their early run of classic releases, all featuring newly remastered audio, has been collected in THE WARNER AND REPRISE YEARS.
In celebration of Pride Month, the vinyl collection showcases the bands kaleidoscopic catalog in full color: THE B-52S (yellow), WILD PLANET (red), MESOPOTAMIA (blue), PARTY MIX! (green), WHAMMY! (smokey), BOUNCING OFF THE SATELLITES (pink), COSMIC THING (orange), and GOOD STUFF (purple), issued as a double LP.
Spanning 1979 to 1992, the albums collected here chart the creative and commercial evolution of the B-52san era that saw the band sell over 20 million records worldwide. Five of the eight albums in the set have been certified Gold or higher by the RIAA, including COSMIC THING (4x Platinum), their self-titled debut (Platinum), WILD PLANET, WHAMMY!, and the GRAMMY-nominated GOOD STUFF (Gold).
The collection also highlights some of their best-known songs, including Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, Mesopotamia, Legal Tender, Channel Z, and Good Stuff. COSMIC THING produced by Don Was and Nile Rodgers remains the groups biggest commercial success, powered by the back-to-back hits Love Shack (3x Platinum) and Roam (Gold). At the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, the band won Best Group Video and Best Art Direction for Love Shack. GRAMMY nods followed for Love Shack and Roam.
