"…R.E.M.'s unexpected new album, Accelerate, is a direct assault on the nay-sayers. This is easily the most raucous (or rock-us) album since Monster, and maybe the best overall since Automatic for the People. Every song is ripe with the same energy and inventiveness that put R.E.M. on the map 25 years ago, and it's clear that the band wants to reclaim its fans with this sense of renewal." – Marc Phillips, Tone Audio, No. 24, 2008

Accelerate, the first studio album in four years from R.E.M., finds modern rock's most acclaimed band returning to the striped-down, guitar-driven power that first enraptured fans. Helmed by the band and, for the first time, Jacknife Lee (co-producer of U2's '05 Grammy Album of the Year How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, The Hives and Snow Patrol), Accelerate puts the 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group once again firmly behind the wheel of alternative rock, a genre R.E.M. helped invent.

RECKONING 180 GRAM LP - "R.E.M. abandoned the enigmatic post-punk experiments of Murmur for their second album, Reckoning, returning to their garage pop origins instead. Opening with the ringing 'Harborcoat,' Reckoning runs through a set of ten jangle pop songs that are different not only in sound but in style from the debut. Where Murmur was enigmatic in its sound, Reckoning is clear, which doesn't necessarily mean that the songs themselves are straightforward. Michael Stipe continues to sing powerful melodies without enunciating, but the band has a propulsive kick that makes the music vital and alive."

R.E.M. 7IN-83-88 45rpm 7" SINGLES Vinyl (11 Discs) BOX SET

Collection Includes 11 45rpm 7" Vinyl Singles!

Eleven singles R.E.M. released between 1983 and 1988 with I.R.S. Records have been gathered for 7IN-83-88, a boxed collection of 7" vinyl singles by Capitol/I.R.S.

R.E.M. was formed in 1980 by Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry. The alternative rock group gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's vocals. The group's first single, "Radio Free Europe," was released in 1981 and is included in this collection of 7" vinyl singles.

R.E.M. COLLAPSE INTO NOW 150 GRAM LP - 150 Gram Vinyl! Featuring Guest Vocals from Peaches, Patti Smith and Eddie Vedder! 

R.E.M. members Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills recorded the new material at the Music Shed in New Orleans, as well as at Berlin's Hansa Studios. Additional recording and mixing was completed at Blackbird Studio in Nashville.

Produced by longtime collaborator Jacknife Lee, the album features guest vocals by Patti Smith, Peaches, and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder.

In comparing the record to the band's previous release, Accelerate, bassist Mike Mills has said the band "wanted this new one to be more expansive. We wanted to put more variety into it and not limit ourselves to any one type of song. There are some really slow, beautiful songs; there are some nice, mid-tempo ones; and then there are three or four rockers." - Mike Mills in interview for Spin.com 

"It's more of a personal record than a political one. Current events do come into our mind when we write, but the themes here are more universal." - Mike Mills in interview for RollingStone.

 DOCUMENT - THIS IS THE OUT OF PRINT 2008 EDITION FROM THE CAPITOL VAULTS SERIES ON 180 GRAM VINYL - RARE & VALUABLE PRESSING WITH THE ORIGINAL MARKETING STICKER still attached  AND HAVE SEEN THIS SPECIFIC PRESSING WITH THE ORIGINAL 2008 GOLD MARKETING STICKER SERIES SELL FOR AS MUCH AS $100

This LP was ranked by Rolling Stone Magazine as #41 of the Top 100 Best LPs of the eighties. Q Magazine gave this Limited Edition 180 Gram Vinyl Pressing Four Stars out of five and said it made for very interesting archival listening. It shows a group cresting the cusp between art rock alternativism and chart friendliness... The general impression is of a band free from constraints rocking with a vengeance.

R.E.M’s later albums have sold by the container load. But they had to make albums like this to build a fan base that brought them to notice. A number of critics place this record as their best. The band does sound as though they are having to work to be heard.

There is significant energy in “Finest Work Song” and The Byrds-like “Welcome To The Occupation.” It has been some time since Michael Stipe has as many words to say as he did in “Its The End Of The World As You Know It” and “The One I Love” has to be one of their best songs of all-time.

R.E.M. Unplugged 2001 LIMITED EDITION 2 LP SET

Complete Live Recording from MTV's 2001 Unplugged Sessions! Includes 6 Never-Broadcast Songs!

R.E.M. mark the point when post-punk turned into alternative rock. When their first single, "Radio Free Europe," was released in 1981, it sparked a back-to-the-garage movement in the American underground. While there were a number of hardcore and punk bands in the U.S. during the early '80s, R.E.M. brought guitar pop back into the underground lexicon. Combining ringing guitar hooks with mumbled, cryptic lyrics and a D.I.Y. aesthetic borrowed from post-punk, the band simultaneously sounded traditional and modern. Throughout the '80s, they worked relentlessly, releasing records every year and touring constantly, playing both theaters and backwoods dives. Along the way, they inspired countless bands, from the legions of jangle pop groups in the mid-'80s to scores of alternative pop groups in the '90s, who admired their slow climb to stardom. 

"No band but Nirvana made more breathtakingly transformative use of MTV Unplugged than R.E.M., the only act to headline the show twice... By 2001, drummer Bill Berry and some of the campfire vibe are gone. But new songs like "At My Most Beautiful," with its neo-Beach Boys harmonies, and the elegiac bubblegum of "Imitation of Life" show a band that could still sucker-punch hearts, while quietly magnificent takes on "Cuyahoga" and "So. Central Rain" conjure the same triumphant melancholy they did in the last century..." - Rolling Stone

R.E.M. The Best of R.E.M. at the BBC 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION 2 LP SET

180g Vinyl Double LP! Cut At Abbey Road Studios!
Collection Of In-Studio Sessions, TV Performances & Live Broadcasts From The BBC Archives!

R.E.M. grew up with the BBC, and this historic relationship is lovingly celebrated across an incredible collection that beautifully illustrates the career trajectory of one of modern music's greatest bands.

In the U.S., R.E.M. came to attention in the early '80s and developed a fanbase around the band's relentless touring schedule and college radio airplay – a uniquely American network of local radio stations playing "alternative" music. The band's emergence in Europe also stemmed around their live forays in England, France, the Netherlands and Germany starting in '83. From this time, the BBC embraced the band – not only with airplay, but also with interviews, TV appearances and in-studio sessions. This strong bond between R.E.M. and the BBC throughout the band's career is celebrated here with Best Of R.E.M. At The BBC 180 gram 2LP set. The audio is delineated first by in-session performances - from 1991's Into The Night, to John Peel Sessions and through to the Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2008. 

The live broadcasts begin with a rough and tumble show in 1984 at Nottingham's Rock City, the stunning 1995 return from a 6 year touring hiatus for the Monster Tour at The National Bowl at Milton Keynes, followed by a blistering headline performance at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in 1999 and rounded out with 2004's intimate performance for 200 BBC-invited guests at London's St. James' Church.

The band's history with the BBC is documented with a newly written overview of the BBC/R.E.M. connection by rock journalist Tom Doyle.

"The wax edition is packed with well-known and less-familiar singles and should satisfy those R.E.M. fans who don't require deep cuts or repeat performs of songs that continued to work their way into the set list. ANd the vinyl still presents a broad spectrum of music, with intimate un-plugged selections balancing electric material that ranges from highly melodic pop to raw and exhilarating rock and roll. Like a good concert, BBC saves some of the biggest hits (including "Losing My Religion" and "Man On the Moon") for last. And the version of "Everybody Hurts" that launches Side D so clearly sends the audience into a swoon (the single was a Top Ten hit in the UK) that fans in the States may reconsider where to place that song in R.E.M.'s canon." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, February 2019
