Comments: Opened, but still in shrinkwrap. Has some corner wear, but otherwise looks great. Vinyl has some light marks.
Review Whammy! is the fourth LP by Athens, GA kitch-funk-surf-pop powerhouse, The B-52s, released in 1982 by Warner Bros. Records. After the arty-farty shortcomings of the David Byrne-produced Mesopotamia EP, the band lurched in the opposite direction and leaned heavily on synths and drum machines for Whammy. It’s not as compelling as their earlier efforts, but it’s nearly as much fun, with any number of frenetic, clamoring highlights, including "Legal Tender," "Whammy Kiss," "Butterbean," and "Song for a Future Generation." It’s not that The B-52s didn’t have mainstream crossover potential; they had several excellent hits waiting around the corner. -Jeff Hunt |
