R.E.M. / Reckoning – Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab/I.R.S. Records MFSL 1-261 (1996)(US) ...This auction is for a very rare, Sealed and Numbered (super low number No. 0124) Audiophile pressing on 200 grams of High Definition (Anadisc 200) Vinyl. The Record has Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Original Masterworks. It includes a special static-free inner sleeve and heavy duty protective packaging. It is mastered from the original master tapes.
Opening with the ringing "Harborcoat," Reckoning runs through a set of ten jangle pop songs that are different not only in sound but in style from R.E.M.'s debut Murmur. Where it was enigmatic in sound, Reckoning is clear, which doesn't necessarily mean that the songs themselves are straightforward. Michael Stipe continues to sing powerful melodies without enunciating, but the band has a propulsive kick that makes the music vital and alive. And, if anything, the songwriting is more direct and memorable than before — the interweaving melodies of "Pretty Persuasion" and the country rocker "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" are as affecting as the melancholic dirges of "Camera" and "Time After Time," while the ringing minor-key arpeggios of "So. Central Rain," the pulsating riffs of "7 Chinese Bros.," and the hard-rocking rhythms of "Little America" make the songs into classics.
