B-52'S - COSMIC THING (GOLD CD)

B-52's Cosmic Thing on Gold CD from Audio Fidelity

If you were anywhere near a radio or dance club in the late 80s and early 90s, or anywhere near a karaoke bar even now, you've experienced the pop delights that are the B-52's' Cosmic Thing. Far from a dark psychedelic trip, the record teems with sunny vibes, concise hooks, and energetic sing-a-long refrains. Originally released in 1989, it became the B-52's' most successful album and established the group as one of the world's all-time best party bands. Produced by Nile Rodgers and Don Was, Cosmic Thing spawned the Top 10 hit "Love Shack" as well as "Roam," a Cindy Wilson showcase with a lovely a cappella choir intro and a driving beat.

Featuring stellar mastering by iconic engineer Steve Hoffman, Audio Fidelity's 24K + Gold edition of this eternally fun pop masterwork bests all prior editions. The audiophile label specializes in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases and beautifully reproduced original graphics. As always, the original master tape was played back on a specially constructed vintage tube playback deck, with the analog masters put through the new "Kensei Audio Transformer," a process that adds even more life to the music.
