Reviews

R.E.M. is definitely judged as 2 different bands. One before Losing Your Religion and one after. I tend to lean toward for the prior. But regardless these are a great collection of the earlier days. My pressing sounds great. Highly recommended! -
Extremely disappointed in the sound quality of this. Very low volume, lifeless and dull sounding, with too many light pops even after a thorough vacuum wet cleaning before playing. 2.5/5.0 on overall sound quality. Avoid. -

Just bought a new, sealed copy of this from Merchbar and the inner sleeve and record was for Lifes Rich Pageant. Anyone else have this issue? -
