R.E.M.'s fourth studio album, Lifes Rich Pageant was recorded by
vocalist Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and
drummer Bill Berry at John Mellencamp's Belmont Mall Studios in
Indiana. Produced by Don Gehman, renowned for producing a string of
punchy, soulful heartland-rock albums by Mellencamp. The album reached
#21 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart and #43 in the UK Album Chart.
Re-mastered featuring hits 'Fall On Me' and 'Superman' Plus bonus disc
'The Athens Demos' - 19 demos previously unreleased, recorded in
Athens, Georgia 1986.
'The Athens Demos' include drafts of Pageant's 12 songs, plus
additional demos of songs that were later recorded for other releases.
Includes early versions of 'Bad Day,' 'Rotary Ten,' 'Two Steps Onward,'
'Mystery To Me,' 'All The Right Friends,' and 'March Song (King Of
Birds),' an early instrumental version of 'King Of Birds' from
Document. One track, 'Wait', has never before been officially released
by R.E.M. in any form, but it has shown up on bootlegs over the years.
Packaging: CDs are housed in a lift top clamshell box (same style as
Fables Of The Reconstruction Deluxe Edition) including poster, 4
postcards and 12pg booklet containing liner notes by music journalist
and author Parke Puterbaugh.
"Lifes Rich Pageant is the most outward-looking record R.E.M. has made,
a worthy companion to the group's bracing live shows and its earned
status as a do-it-yourself and do-it-your-way model for young American
bands...For R.E.M., the underground ends here." - Anthony DeCurtis,
Rolling Stone 1986.
