R.E.M. Lifes Rich Pageant Vinyl LP

Originally released in 1986, Lifes Rich Pageant marked R.E.M.’s shift toward a more accessible, full-bodied sound while retaining their jangle-pop roots. Produced by Don Gehman and recorded at John Mellencamp’s Belmont Mall Studios, the album features politically charged lyrics, melodic hooks, and standout tracks like “Fall On Me,” “Begin The Begin,” and “Superman.” This 2016 reissue is pressed on 180g vinyl and includes a download voucher for the MP3 version.
