Issued in 1989, the album marked a triumphant comeback for the band and features the hit singles \"Love Shack\", \"Roam\", \"Deadbeat Club\" and \"Channel Z\". Blending new wave, pop rock, dance-rock and alternative influences, the album became a defining soundtrack of the late 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUK Reprise Records pressing issued under catalogue number WX 283. Produced by Nile Rodgers and Don Was, Cosmic Thing helped introduce The B-52's to a wider global audience and remains one of the band's most celebrated releases.
