The Globe is the sixth album by alternative dance group Big Audio Dynamite II, their second album credited under that name instead of Big Audio Dynamite. It was released on 16 July 1991 in the United States, and in August elsewhere else, just after their limited UK-only album Kool-Aid and includes reworked versions of some of its songs. The Globe was certified Gold by the RIAA. Some CD versions came with the live album Ally Pally Paradiso as an additional disc.
The album cover was designed by surfer Shawn Stussy, who earlier founded the eponymous fashion brand. [3] [4]
Big Audio Dynamite II toured to promote The Globe in late 1992. There was only one stop on the tour in the United States, at Tipitina's in New Orleans. However, they also opened for Public Enemy and U2 on the Achtung Baby tour. Furthermore, they toured in support of the album in the autumn of 1991. On that tour, The Farm opened for them. [5]
