The B-52's - Mesopotamia

If there’s one thing that they should teach on day one of rock ‘n’ roll school, it’s that everyone living together in one house is a very bad idea.

This was the situation The B-52’s found themselves in when they were recording this mini-album.

The whole thing was a catalogue of errors, including it being downgraded to a 12” instead of an album, because – basically – everything went to shit and they didn’t record enough music. My version, the UK first pressing, gets the guernsey as a mini-album, because they mistakenly issued it with the longer demo versions of the second side’s tracks. Fine by me.

I was surprised to read that this was a generally poorly received album, because I really like it.

I reckon I picked this up at a massive car boot sale in Devon.
