The record
Title: The B-52’s – The B-52’s
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979, Pop, New Wave, Athens, Georgia
Matrix #: BSK 3355
Condition: VG+
Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: Athens wasn’t a “scene” yet—this band helped turn a small college town into a national underground pipeline before R.E.M. blew it open.
-
Family Ties: Guitarist Ricky Wilson died in 1985 from AIDS-related illness; the band publicly framed it differently at the time, then went quiet for years.
-
Media Narrative: Their thrift-store camp and queer-coded humor got treated as a novelty act by critics, even as clubs adopted the look as a blueprint.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
