The music of the B-52s will be celebrated with a new career-spanning box set.

The Warner and Reprise Years will include newly remastered versions of B-52s albums released between 1979 and 1992: 1979’s The B-52s, 1980’s Wild Planet, 1982’s EP Mesopotamia, 1981’s Party Mix!, 1983’s Whammy!, 1986’s Bouncing Off Satellites, 1989’s Cosmic Thing and 1992’s Good Stuff.

Songs featured in the set include such B-52s hits as “Rock Lobster,” “Private Idaho,” “Love Shack,” “Roam” and more.

The set will be released on June 20 in two formats: an eight-CD set and a nine-LP set, pressed on a rainbow of colored vinyl to celebrate Pride month. The LP set is limited to 2,000 copies and can be preordered exclusively through Rhino.com.
