    Sound-wise, nothing to write home about. Doesn't appear to have been remastered or anything. Probably just a digital source.
    That said, it's fun to have a new press of this album on the splatter wax to go with the three other B-52's albums.
    Shame that 'Don't Worry' was never reinstated - 'Moon 83' is OK but no substitute.
    Hopefully they do something decent with "Bouncing Off The Satellites" as a future reissue.
