R.E.M. - Dreaming In Paradise (Limited Edition 2 x 180g Vinyl) Pre-order

Scheduled for release on 18th September 2015. Please be aware that release dates can change. 

This superb live broadcast from renowned East Coast club, The Paradise in Boston, in July 1983,

captures the original 4-piece R.E.M. at a creative peak. R.E.M. had a traditional rock quartet format,

incorporating Michael Stipe’s engaging but often indecipherable vocals, Mike Mills’ superb backing

vocals and highly melodic bass playing, Peter Buck’s cascading 6 and 12-string arpeggios and Bill Berry’s

rock solid backbeat. What set them apart from their peers during this formative period was how they

managed to infuse their fresh and idiosyncratic post-punk sound with a rich vein of melody and classic

pop-oriented song writing - subtly yet undoubtedly indebted to the 1960s without becoming slavish copyists.

The only overt reference to that earlier decade during this show is a rare but lovingly crafted cover of The

Mamas and the Papas irresistible sunshine-pop masterpiece, California Dreamin’.
