NEVER Played R.E.M. 4 Singles 45 RPM 7” Vinyl with Picture Sleeves Get Up & more
US version. Never played. These picture sleeves do show wear from having been in the racks in the record store where I bought them 30 or so years ago. They are in exactly the condition they were in when I left the record store with them. Each record and each picture sleeve has been stored in separate protective sleeves for approximately 30 years. These are vinyl 45 RPM records with the large center hole.
Where there is wear or damage to the pictures sleeves from being in the record store racks, I have tried to take pictures that show the condition of the picture sleeves.

Record 3
UPC on the picture sleeve: 075992279178
Interestingly I just noticed for the first time that this picture sleeve does not match the record. The picture sleeve was apparently for the standard, normal release of a 45 single with A side being Get Up and the B side being Funtime. But it turns out that the record that was in that jacket so many years ago is a promotional record, and that record has what might be described as two A sides. It has the same version of the same song (Get Up) on both sides.
Warner Brothers numbers: 7-22791-A. This is a promotional record.
A Side number 1: Get Up (LP Version) promotional record
A Side number 2: Get Up (LP Version) promotional record
Record 4
IRS numbers: IR-9927
A Side: So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)
B Side: King of the Road
