Let's see, in 1982, my musical taste skewed towards the music we played in our band, like VH, Judas Priest, Journey, ZZ Top, Stones, etc...NOT new wave at all, it was the enemy. Later towards the mid 80's, the new wave started to make more sense, and the campy gyrations of a band like The B-52's was more intriguing, as rock got taken over by puffy hairdo's and MTV.
So now it's even more intriguing, as I would never have cared back then what they sounded like live, and surprisingly it carries over the weight of the recordings into an entertaining performance. If possible, Planet Claire, Rock Lobster and Private Idaho have never been more fun to hear, than here.

Brilliant - thanks a million! This Reggae Sunsplash festival in Montego Bay, Kingston, Jamaica would be the source for several excellent recordings by various artists: reggae stars Black Uhuru and Steel Pulse, top UK ska band the Beat (available in 320), Joe Jackson (not my favourite artist by a long way) ... and, on the same day as the B52s, the Clash in one of their best-ever recordings, coming to you in FLAC very soon:
