The B-52’s are set to release a The Warner and Reprise Years box set, featuring their early run of classic releases, all in newly remastered audio.
Two versions will be available: a 9LP set—pressed on a rainbow of colored vinyl and limited to 2,000 copies, exclusively through Rhino.com, and an 8CD edition. Pre-order here.
Arriving on June 20 in celebration of Pride Month, the vinyl collection showcases the band’s kaleidoscopic catalog in full color: The B-52’s (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. The CD version will be released the same day.
The collection also highlights some of the band’s best-known songs, including “Rock Lobster,” “Private Idaho,” “Mesopotamia,” “Legal Tender,” “Channel Z,” and “Good Stuff.” Cosmic Thing remains the group’s biggest commercial success, powered by the back-to-back hits “Love Shack” and “Roam.”
