I’m about to pre-order the
new B-52s album which will be my second new (as in not back catalogue) CD of the year. This means it’s only March and I am about to double last year’s total. This got me thinking about my old vinyl copy of Mesopotamia. A few years back, before I got my new turntable, I had the urge to hear ‘Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can’ so I downloaded it and to my surprise it sounded nothing like I remembered it. I have since discovered through
this wikipedia entry that initial copies of the UK version of the album contained different or remixed versions of some songs
and the whole album was remixed in 1991. What I
think I’ve got here is the original UK version (I got the LP as soon as it came out) but it
could be the original US version. Got that?
