Anyone have the original, 7" version of Rock Lobster?

I have the 7 inch record with the flip side 6060-842. Unfortunately I have no means to transfer this to the computer. If you don't get this song from someone else, I can have a friend put it on cd/mp3 for me but it will take awhile. He doesn't live close by. Let me know.

I've got it. I'll have to rip it first, but I'll send it shortly.

I'd love a copy of this too, if someone's willing to share. Thanks!

It's on its way. Enjoy! [8D]

Is it different from the album version? If so, how?

The version I have is completely different. It's shorter and much more raw than the version on the LP.

They obviously re-recorded it for the LP.

In that case, Fritz... could I trouble you [:)]

Anyone familiar with this?

Six minutes and 49 seconds?

Six minutes and 49 seconds?[/quote]From the length, that looks like the standard LP version.

Hey Fritz, could you send that one my way too?[8)]

Hi Ollie Stench, The seven inch version of B52s - Rock Lobster lasts 3 minutes 55 seconds, at least the Spanish And french versions.

B52S ROCK LOBSTER [ 7 '' VERSION ] 1979 FRENCH PROMO.

B52S ROCK LOBSTER [ 7 '' VERSION ] 1979 SPANISH PROMO.

Best regards.

Thanks to Fritz I have finally heard this version of Rock Lobster! Having been a fan since about 1980ish this was one thing that had eluded me. Man, did I sleep soundly last night. THANKS!!!

PS My band is doing a set of B-52's songs on Halloween. Should be a good time! (First 2 albums only, NO "Love Shack" or "Roam"!)

Hey Ollie,
If 'Planet Claire' is on the set list, you gonna use a Morse Code Beeping Walkie Talkie like Fred Schnieder did for the live performance intros back in the early days?

That tune ROCKS![8D]

It seems like I might have that version on a comp somewhere. Anybody recall what that might have been on?
