The B-52's is the debut album by the Athens, Georgia-based new wave band The B-52's. The album cover was designed by Tony Wright. Produced by Chris Blackwell, The B-52's peaked at #59 on the Billboard 200, and "Rock Lobster" reached #56 on the Hot 100. The jerky, angular funk was danceable. It's all great fun. Songs like "Planet Claire", "Dance This Mess Around", and "Rock Lobster" illustrated that The B-52's adoration of camp culture wasn't simply affectation; it was a worldview capable of turning out brilliant pop singles and, in turn, influencing mainstream pop culture. Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert.
