R.E.M. – Reckoning (Definitive Sound Series 180g LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in early 1984 and released that April, Reckoning captured R.E.M. at a pivotal moment, when the Athens, Georgia quartet was tightening the coiled jangle-rock sound they'd introduced on Murmur into something more urgent and direct. Peter Buck's Rickenbacker work and the interplay between Mike Mills and Bill Berry give these ten tracks a propulsive live energy that reward close listening, making a pressing sourced straight from the original analog tapes the way this record was always meant to be heard.
The Definitive Sound Series (DSS) presents R.E.M.’s Reckoning as an all-analog audiophile One-Step. Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, this One-Step pressing on 180g vinyl delivers exceptional clarity and depth while preserving the album’s original warmth. Limited to 5,000 numbered copies, it features a heavyweight tip-on gatefold jacket, custom slipcase, and premium packaging for collectors and audiophiles.
