{"product_id":"rem-reckoning-lp-7182026","title":"REM - Reckoning - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eReckoning captures REM’s early sound with a raw immediacy, recorded over just 16 days at Reflection Sound Studios in late 1983 and early 1984. The album’s artwork, featuring a two-headed snake designed by Michael Stipe and painted by Howard Finster, adds a distinctive visual touch that echoes the band’s blend of folk-rock and post-punk energy. Notably, the original vinyl uniquely labels its sides as 'L' and 'R', a small detail that reflects the band’s willingness to sidestep convention. This 1984 pressing from Indianapolis stands out with its translucent amber vinyl, which catches the light in a way that’s more than just a pretty face—it’s a tangible part of the record’s identity. The vinyl itself is in near-mint condition, presenting as exceptionally clean and visually close to new, making it a fine choice for those who appreciate both sound and presentation. This pressing offers a neat example of how format choices can complement the music without overshadowing it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"NM \/ VG+ \/ 1984 INDIANAPOLIS - \"R\" ON LABEL","offer_id":53612950257980,"sku":"13017100261827","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/MS02MTU2LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1784408615","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/rem-reckoning-lp-7182026","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
