The five-piece group, which also included founding members Fred Schneider, guitarist Ricky Wilson (Cindy's older brother), and drummer Keith Strickland, formed in the mid-'70s after a drunken evening at a Chinese restaurant; the bandmembers had little or no previous musical experience, and performed most of their earliest shows with taped guitar and percussion accompaniment.\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/theb52s.com\/\"\u003e theb52s.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 Loveland\u003cbr\u003e 02 Deep Sleep\u003cbr\u003e 03 Mesopotamia\u003cbr\u003e 04 Cake\u003cbr\u003e 05 Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can\u003cbr\u003e 06 Nip It In The Bud\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Island Records","offers":[{"title":"1982","offer_id":83086242,"sku":"ISSP 4006","price":52.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/b_52s_mesopotamia.jpg?v=1571438533","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/b-52s-mesopotamia","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
