R.E.M. Out of Time LP 1st Pressing Ex/NM Condition REM Vinyl
1991 European release on WEA 7599-26496-1 (UK: WX404). Record, sleeve and picture inner are all in excellent to near-mint condition, with no significant marks. It actually looks almost as good as new. Only thing to mention is that the record shop people have written the WX catalogue number neatly in the top left corner of one side of the inner (see photo).
I think it’s a first pressing. Text etched into the runout groove is as follows:
· Side 1: R/S Alsdort 759 926 496 1-A2 1-26496-A-INTL-SET1
· Side 2: R/S Alsdort 759 926 496 1-B 1-26496-B-INTL-SET1
Tracks are:
Side one – "Time side"
1. "Radio Song" (feat. KRS-One) – 4:12
2. "Losing My Religion" – 4:26
3. "Low" – 4:55
4. "Near Wild Heaven" – 3:17
5. "Endgame" – 3:48
Side two – "Memory side"
1. "Shiny Happy People" – 3:44
2. "Belong" – 4:03
3. "Half a World Away" – 3:26
4. "Texarkana" – 3:36
5. "Country Feedback" – 4:07
6. "Me in Honey" – 4:06
A fan writes:
Though there is some debate about whether it is REM's best work, Out of Time is without doubt a classic.
Most people will have only heard of Losing My Religion, deservedly one of their biggest hits, but beyond that the songs that will stay with you just keep coming.
Happy songs are what the album is best known for and the jangling, uplifting pop of Near Wild Heaven, Texakarna and Half A World Away are melodic easy to listen to but with more depth than your average rock song.
The true quality of the album though is in the darker, more introverted songs. Low is a stripped down, rhythmic examination of the end of a relationship, looking back and climaxing in an emotive acceptance of moving on.
Country Feedback however, is my true favourite, an orchestrated ballad of missed opportunities, drenched in fatigue and a general feeling of being washed out and drained (You come to me with excuses/Ducked out in a row/You wear me out). The slow, simple guitar accompanied by strings fills the background while a wailing, almost atonal lead guitar melody weaves around the lyrics and sears its way into your brain.
