R.E.M. Up vinyl double LP rare promo REM
R.E.M. Up vinyl double LP rare promo REM.
Here's a rare one, and celebrating a 25th birthday this year
This is the double LP vinyl release of REM's Up, the first album without Bill Berry and a majestic and cool reinvention as a trio
Promo version sent out by the record label to me with promo stamp on the back. Only owner. Still no record player and can't attest to anything else about how it plays but it looks beautiful to me
I had the cassette and CD and don't think I ever played this -- first time out of the plastic was likely for photographs
You can see the corners have dings and the sleeve tear on the left side, in the center. Took a close-up. Happy to send additional pics
I only see a handful of copies of this for sale in the USA and all of them are more money, if not much, much more money
Happy to rehouse it to another fan
