The B-52's - Party Mix!/Mesopotamia

In 1981, The B-52's issued a six-track EP containing remixes of some of the most popular songs from their first two albums. In 1982, they released a new six-track EP produced by Talking Heads' David Byrne called Mesopotamia. Neither of them was essential, but both had their virtues, and they were put together on one CD after the group's big commercial breakthrough with Cosmic Thing. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
