Red Mosquito

"Irish Heartbeat" is a great album.

Wasn't cheap but I got these 4 in one shot from a guy on Discogs.
It came out to about $200 US



I'm still missing Monster and New Adventures. I figure some re-releases can't be too far off.

i still need reveal. hard to get myself to put $50 down for a record i'm not very fond of but need to finish a collection. some day.

i see new adventures every so often. if i come across another one i'll have it put aside and then ask if you want it.

Ragged Glory

southp, you're gonna feel silly when Neil represses Ragged Glory in 24 years.

I'd be quite keen to get hold of a copy of Up on vinyl

For shizzle.

He can keep Reveal though. Almost bought an original pressing of Fables a few months ago. But it was scratched all to fuck.

As much hate as it gets - I'd still be down with a vinyl copy of reveal. I got into the whole vinyl thing too late - have all the collectors edition CDs of their albums, but only a couple on vinyl

I really don't like the album. I'd take it for free, I suppose. But I'd probably just end up selling it or giving it away to someone who would appreciate it.

Do you have a copy you want to give away?

I do not. I have the CD if you want that.

It's alright - as much as I hate to admit it - I have two already

My REM records are among my favorite to listen to. Most sound glorious.

You guys are spending all this time dissing Reveal?? Meanwhile I just paid $50 for ATS, the biggest turd in their catalog, and no one said a thing.

Personally I love Up and Reveal and they both came out at a time when I wanted REM to go in that direction. Much like Accelerate and Collapse where the perfect finale for them.

I'm with Pete, my REM records are amongst my most played. I think it's because the individual albums have a general mood or tone that is consistent and the sequencing is perfect for a side a/b flip.

haha... I thought about that conversation we had as I was buying Ragged Glory. But you can't go wrong with an original pressing in pristine condition. I did replace my original Harvest and ATGR however - my copies had been "well loved" and those "original release series'" just sound sooo good.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll start to get ORS releases every 2 years instead of every 4-5. But who knows?

How much of the catalog do you already own? Because of the Pono launch I believe the plan was to remaster the first 14 albums, so that leaves these 6 that could come within the next year or two:

American Stars ‘N Bars [PONO] {176.4kHz} {24bit}
Comes A Time [PONO] {192/176.4kHz} {24bit}
Rust Never Sleeps [PONO] {192/176.4kHz} {24bit}
Live Rust [PONO] {192/176.4kHz} {24bit}
Hawks & Doves [PONO] {176.4kHz} {24bit}
re-ac-tor [PONO] {176.4kHz} {24bit}

I'd have to check the condition of my current copies, but from personal preference Comes a Time and RNS are the only two that I'd really need to own.

Well, I've got the 8 ORS records, all of the Performance Series records...and not much else! Live Rust, I think. Then the most recent stuff (Psychadelic Pill, Americana, A Letter Home). So I'm basically waiting for reissues of everything else.

What, no Storytone?

I'm waiting for the price to drop waaaaaaaaaaa
