Craft Recordings will reissue two REM vinyl albums, in July.
Around the Sun from 2004 was the band’s sixth UK chart-topping studio album and features tracks like ‘Leaving New York’ (the band’s last UK top 10), ‘Aftermath’, ‘Electron Blue’, ‘Wanderlust and ‘The Strangers’. It was the last of a trio of records (with At the top And Reveal being the other two) co-produced by Pat McCarthy

Reduce by now was REM’s 15th and final studio album and was recorded in Berlin, New Orleans and Nashville and co-produced by Jacknife Lee. It includes the singles ‘Überlin’, ‘Oh My Heart’ and ‘It Happened Today’.
Both albums were engraved by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and are pressed on 180g black vinyl at Memphis Records Pressing. Exclusive colored vinyl pressings are available through REM’s website.
Around the Sun And Reduce by now are both released on July 14, 2023 via Craft Recordings.
