,,,The B52- Deep Sleep

7 inch: The B-52's - Nip It In The Bud / Deep Sleep 1982

Byrne Byrne about this song: We in Talking Heads became friends with the B-52's early on. I produced an album with the B-52's which ended up as an EP [Mesopotamia]. I suspect they came to me because they wanted to experiment a little bit more. Maybe that's why the LP got cut down to an EP - or maybe the other songs weren't up to snuff? My favourite song from that record was Deep Sleep, which sounded like Young Marble Giants gone psychedelic
