Reviews

To the 720 people (at the time of writing) who have this on their wantlist - you do *not* want this pressing! While much of the album sounds like a fairly straightforward pressing from a digital master, tracks B4 and B5 are completely destroyed by oscillating pitch. I'm not talking about some mild wow/flutter that only a highly trained ear can detect - this thing wobbles up and down violently and mercilessly. Just listening to a few seconds of it is enough to make you seasick. Even if you have an extremely high tolerance for bad audio quality, this pressing will make you cry and beg for mercy. Even my dog left the room when I put this on, and he normally loves R.E.M!

anybody know how to tell the difference between this and the 1992 original sealed copy -
It's really scary how bad this pressing is.
I've never heard anything like it.
Shame on whoever did this. -
Yep another person with the terrible warble on Nightswimming. Going to have to replace it when I find the time. Favourite song on the album and completely unlistenable. What a shame...
-
I mean, you could hang this pressing on your wall, that's about all it's good for. Nightswimming is such a mess.

Bought this in college as one of my first albums of a growing collection and my heart sunk when I got to Nighswimming (my warble actually starts during Man on the Moon). I've kept this in my collection for the novelty, but have never replayed it. Glad to have the 2017 edition arriving soon. -
Edited 6 years agoAnother person with the warbly Nightswimming -- thought my ears were playing tricks on me the first time I listened to my copy of the LP! A shame, because it's otherwise a quiet and good-sounding record.
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People -

Hopefully this issue has been corrected. I just ordered the U.S. Version from a seller off of Amazon so I will let you know.
