B-52'S / The WARNER REPRISE YEARS - Spanning the years between 1979 and 1992, this comprehensive box set features the band's earliest records for Warner Music, including their self-titled debut, Wild Planet, Mesopotamia, Party Mix, Whammy!, Bouncing of the Satellites, Cosmic Thing and Good Stuff. Packaged in a slick 8CD package (and accompanied by a Rhino. Com exclusive 'rainbow' 9LP set), the newly remastered albums appear on an array of colored discs and feature the band's megahit "Love Shack", alongside classics like "Roam" and "Rock Lobster". Releasing in June to celebrate PRIDE, this is the ultimate party set. Having formed nearly 50 years ago with an impromptu jam session after a chance encounter at a local Chinese restaurant in Georgia, the B-52s have spent decades solidifying their legendary status as The World's Greatest Party Band. Brought together by a mutual love of 50s & 60s pop music, good old fashioned rock & roll, and the campy kitsch culture they would eventually make all their own, the B-52s' vibrant sound and free spirited musical style are on full display in this complete album box set.
