A strangely overlooked album by the critics I feel? I have an original press at home which sounds great.
I think people forget about how many good to great records REM made, probably unrivalled in the firmament. I love Murmer, Reckoning, Life’s Rich Pageant, Document then you have Green - Automatic & New Adventures in Hifi. Up is pretty decent also. Oh & Chronic Town & Eponymous.Same - gave it a play this evening - great record. That period from Fables to Green is packed with good records. Not as cool as the first two or as celebrated as the next two but actually consistently good records.
And a different sleeve artworkRight - I'm on a mission to collect more of the singles given that the CD compilation is so poor, but only for sensible money. Here's the first score, from ebay (which I don't normally risk). There was another version bitd Truth D3, which was a double 12" with a reworking of Soulmining on the second disk.
Epic – TRUTH T3. 12 inch, 1986.
Play this regularly ever since it was released.
The new vinyl box set version is good. Had a CD version bought for the car that sounded dreadful in the house, nowhere near the vinyl 1st press.I've been trying to get that for a while - my brother has it but I never did.
