The B52s - Loveland

This mini-LP by the B52s was released in 1982. I'm constantly surprised by the fact that the 6 amazing tracks on the album are not more well known, as they perfectly encapsulate the essence of the B52s in all their quirky John Waters-esque small town genius.
Incredibly well produced, the album starts off with Loveland, the nervy, gothy sister to Love Shack - that much more sexy and intense, it pulsates and punches until its final metaphorical climax ... and still the beat goes on reaching well past its final fade-out ... that would have been one hell of a party!!
Enjoy.

What a band, Very well produced by David Byrne from Talking Heads, 1982

I have this album, loved this version! I bought this new in the US when it first came out.
Cindy's voice is powerful, music is amazing as always!

Do you have upload on youtube "Cake", perhaps?

This version is slightly different than the version I have on CD. Can I find it anywhere else besides the LP?

Hi Igor - hopefully the download link still works on this site - make sure to check out the comments as well - samemistakesmusic.blogspot.com.au/2009/09/b-52s-mesopotamia-david-byrne-mixes.html

Hello temasekdan, thanks for the reply. I'm afraid all the links are already expired (the files were hosted at Rapidshare and I believe the site doesn't exist anymore). Are you sure this version of your video was there? The David Byrne remix of Loveland is very different and way longer.

I have the US Warner Bros version which is shorter - didn't realise how difficult this is to get hold off! If I find anything, I'll post another comment here
