The Warner Reprise Years [8CD]

The B-52's - The Warner Reprise Years [8CD]

The dance floor’s never been the same since The B-52’s set out from Athens, Georgia, on their way to becoming the world’s greatest party band. Now, their early run of classic releases, all featuring newly remastered audio, has been collected in THE WARNER AND REPRISE YEARS. Spanning 1979 to 1992, the albums collected here chart the creative and commercial evolution of the B-52’s—an 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 group’s 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.”
