The B-52's – Love Shack (Vinyl, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Maxi-Single, 1989, Reprise Records 0-21318, Specialty Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
“Love Shack” became one of The B-52's defining recordings and was a major part of the band’s late-1980s resurgence with the album Cosmic Thing. This U.S. maxi-single expands the song into several club-oriented versions, including the 7:58 12" Remix, an instrumental version, the 12" Mix, and Big Radio Mix. The release also includes a 12" Rock Mix of fellow Cosmic Thing track “Channel Z,” giving the single material distinct from the standard album configurations.

Collector Note
This 1989 U.S. Reprise maxi-single carries catalog number 0-21318 on the labels and 9 21318-0 on the spine. The supplied 0-21318A-SR1 and 0-21318B-SR1 runouts carry the SRC logo, confirming manufacture by Specialty Records Corporation. The A-side versions were remixed at Pearl Sound Studios by Ben Grosse, while the B-side “Love Shack” mixes were remixed by Daddy-O.
