REM – Up – LP

REM – Up

R.E.M.’s Up has a distinct place in the band’s story: the original 1998 album was their first studio record after founding drummer Bill Berry retired, with the group using session drummers and drum machines as they moved into a different post-Berry era. That shift gives the album a real catalog identity, especially for listeners interested in the band’s late-’90s alternative rock direction rather than just the IRS and early Warner years. This copy is a new vinyl pressing of the 25th Anniversary Edition, priced at $34.00, and tied to an edition that brought the album back with remastered audio and previously unreleased live material. The record is sealed in its original shrink wrap, so the vinyl has not been opened or handled; a strong choice if you want a clean new copy of this later-period R.E.M. title in anniversary-edition form.
