        I love early REM and this is one of my favorite albums by this group. This one is somewhat tame and more country/folk than some of the others which dabble in alternative, punk, and slightly progressive.

        This pressing sounds terrific. Nice and full band with decent sound staging. Recommended.

          I have a (C) version label, but the vinyl does NOT change color when held up to light. Is that worth another entry? Or just sell it saying it has only black vinyl?
