This was the 1st R.E.M. album after listening to it I thought................this isn't R.E.M. It was an O.K. rock-like album......but it wasn't R.E.M. I guess some so desperately want something different even if it is.....inferior to what previously was great??? You can have it.......I turn my back on it.
Found this in 76, one of the best albums ever, no filler tracks...also where I first Found Waddy Wachtel, Stevies music director/elec guitar today. Immediate Family.
This sounds great. I watched a video of this song played on a Rega P6, and while that sounded fantastic (as you would expect), this P2 does hold its own very nicely. Thank you very much for sharing.
do you have csn crosby stills nash (maybe you dont like) its a great record ...lots of mysterious anomaly sounds like damn the torpedos and regatta de blanc (and this record) ... anyway, thanks keep it up
nice memories, excellent rip, it sounds soooo good. thanks. i never heard the clave' before, its really in there too. very nice fidelity you have there.
Why didn’t I buy this vinyl in my shop? My mum. Bc of its cover revealing”living in a House of Victorian British standards … Well that’s why. 😢😢😢😢 later when I was older to try and get a copy now I’m into CDs …the RECORD COMPANY DROPS THEM. Crystal,is one of the most beautiful and haunting pieces of music ever written by the sweet harmonies of love,like they’d just found that LOVE. In the Buckinghams coffee place where they were alone months writing ,if you are a OG fan you’d understand.l… Many songs are about the act of ❤❤ I think they broke up not maybe over the cheating like who did who to who. But the fame don’t forget they after Rumours they got very very rich fast every thing was very fasttttttt. As Stevie and the rest of them are sober now that’s all I say
I feel blessed to be able to hear this! Though big FM fan since age 14 yrs old huge Stevie lover and admire of her wonderful style songstress and poetry lyrics and Lyndsey’s ability to take her poetry to this level , 2 GENUIS 2 lovers 2 wild hearts!🥰
All time fave REM albums are 1. Adventures in HIFI 2. GREEN 3. UP! 4. Document 5. Out of Time. A lot of fantastic music we're talking about here and going beyond that.
I just got rid of all my vinyl. This is the ONE album I kept. I was 12 when this was released and my older brother bought it. I guess that makes it my number one and I never get tired of it. Could never find it digitally…this one sounds amazing. Thank you!
o' gahd: i saw this debut LP show in 1973, when stevie declared her stardom... 😂✨💫💜 can't say i always agreed with her whole career, but this LP, was the only one of all of theirs that i ever owned a copy of of. :) Thanks for the nice post. :)
Maaaan, another time record exects are just completely full of shyt! This's a great record, truly the core sound of what would become Fleetwood Mac of the 70's. To think was the bombing of this record that broke them up in a way that couldn't be repaired... And surely this broke up relationship will be both their biggest regret. a regret that they'd say, "f%ck the fame and money" if only they knew what they were missing out on, nevermind the happy, uplifting music they would have created together with different backup bands had they been able to keep going like this.
I like rem the document album it was one of my favorites I listen to this when I was growing up it came out in the year of 1987 I will never forget I play it all the time just can't get enough of it
One of my top 20 albums of all time! Thank you for this. Nothing like vinyl. I had a great collection and lost them all in a flood. Thank goodness for Mick Fleetwood hearing this, and the rest is history!
