Description

The B-52’s self-titled debut is a kaleidoscopic blast of kitsch, camp, and sci-fi surf rock — a genre-defying party record that launched the Athens, Georgia quintet into cult stardom. This remastered 180g heavyweight vinyl edition is housed in a replica single sleeve with original artwork and includes an MP3 download code. Cut from high-resolution audio sources, the pressing preserves the album’s quirky charm and danceable grooves with analogue warmth.

Produced by Chris Blackwell and recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas, the album features iconic tracks like “Planet Claire,” “Dance This Mess Around,” and the legendary “Rock Lobster.” With its thrift-store aesthetic, toy piano riffs, and beehive hairdos, The B-52’s is a joyful collision of punk irreverence and retro futurism — ranked #152 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
