The record
Title: R.E.M. – Life’s Rich Pageant
Year/Genre: 1986, Grunge
Matrix #: IRS-5783
Condition: Near Mint
Cultural Facts:
-
This was the band’s fourth studio album and the first to reach gold certification, signaling their break beyond college-rock status.
-
Recorded in Indiana at Belmont Mall Studio with producer Don Gehman, the session marked a move toward harder, clearer production while retaining lyrical ambiguity.
-
The ecology-themed track “Cuyahoga” references the infamous river-fire in Ohio and built on the band’s growing awareness of political and environmental issues. The U.S. LP on I.R.S. Records (catalog IRS-5783) is the original pressing; packaging variants and correct label identification make it a collector focus.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
