The remasters of 'The B-52's' and 'Wild Planet' are excellent - I have the 2004 double cd reissue, which was an on-demand release from Universal with very poor sound, so I can only compare it to that and not the previously-released stand-alone cd albums. I'm really happy I bought the Japanese reissues, I'm looking forward to receiving 'Whammy!' and 'Bouncing Off The Satellites', it's been great reassessing the B-52's back catalogue.

I saw Whammy! SHM on Ebay and a photograph of the back sleeve says Don't Worry.
Does anybody have the CD to check what's actually on it? Moon 83 or Don't Worry

On another forum I visit someone who bought these releases said that, while the album, art is faithful to the original release, the disc itself contains "Moon 83." Dashed hope on that one.

Yes it's Moon 83 on it.
I thought the biggest improvement on the mastering was Bouncing Off The Satellites. The original (now 30+ years old) CD sounds very thin.
I remember I first bought import CDs of Wild Planet and Whammy! by mail order when I was still at school. I'm amazed to think it's taken until I'm 45 for these to be remastered!
