    It’s a really nice press that can use just a little bass boost in your setup to bring it in line with the original US press.

      this is a nice original 1979 pressing of the b52s debut lp released in japan shortly after it was released 2 months earlier in the us/uk, anyway this sleeve is rather thin, a bit glossy and comes with a 4 page insert with lyrics in both japanese and english, nice copy of this 1979 classic wich was there best record i felt as it had that new wave vibe to it but it also had a punky edge somewhat........... great memories hearing songs like dance this mess around and 52 girls, it has been a while
