Day 2: 6060-842

6060-842 by The B-52s from their debut album.

PLAY LOUD- is printed on the center of the bright yellow label on this album. I thought this was hilarious every time I would place it on the turntable spindle (apparently the album was released as Play Loud in Germany). Before I had an inkling of The B-52’s, most of the albums I listened to with friends were classic rock albums. When I got a taste of Fred’s sardonic monotone singing contrasted against Cindy and Kate’s incredible vocal range, I was hooked. This was my introduction to New Wave, Punk inspired music, the first from Athens GA that literally blew my high school mind.
