R.E.M. / Fables of the Reconstruction vinyl reissue

R.E.M.’s 1985 album Fables of the Reconstruction is available on vinyl again after being out-of-print for quite a while.

Produced by Joe Boyd, and recorded in London, ‘Can’t Get There From Here’ and ‘Driver 8’ are probably the best known songs from Fables… It was the band’s third studio album, and was released on I.R.S. Records.

The album was R.E.M.’s first UK top 40 hit and reached number 28 in the Billboard album charts. The last reissue was in 2010 which saw a vinyl re-release and a deluxe 2CD box set edition that offered ‘Athens Demos’ on the bonus CD.

Fables of the Reconstruction will be reissued on vinyl on 7 June 2024. Update: There does appear to be a single CD version of this (in a jewel case) as well!
