Has anyone heard the new B-52's set from Rhino?

[Dan C]

It has a great selection of songs on 2 CDs and nice packaging in typical Rhino fashion. I had it in my hands last time I was at the record store but decided to wait on it.
How's the sound?

Thanks,
Dan C

Dan,

Since no one here seems to have heard that one, do you have their single-CD best-of, "Time Capsule"? It's remastered by Bob Ludwig and sounds quite good. BTW, I believe the Rhino double is available through one of the CD clubs (cheap, of course).

Dan,

I have the 2 cd set, I at first hestitated because the Time Capsule is really good and I have a HDCD player but by finding a promo of the new set I sprang for it. The sound is even warmer, the song selection and feel is also better. Booklet and packaging are great! As time moves on I just love this band more and more. And more than anything I love them because they were one of the biggest reasons for John Lennon to come out of retirement and record "Double Fantasty".
Remember reading a interview w/John saying while vacationing in the islands with Sean and hearing the B52's for the first time., he scream with delight and called Yoko , My gosh, they caught up with us, the music is great, and it's time!.

Thank you B52's!

Rick A.

Thanks guys.
Hmm, I hadn't even thought of the record club. I just paid off BMG so maybe I should take a look there:) (shame about their new web site. Yuck!).
I'll be picking up one of those B-52's CDs soon.
Thanks again,
Dan C

Unfortunately BMG doesn't offer it. Columbia House does, and their cheaper CDHQ offshoot (it offered the same deal as BMG) recently went out of operation.
