1988’s Green, R.E.M.’s sixth studio album, was a milestone of sorts for the band: Green marked the group’s departure from longtime label I.R.S. Records; it was R.E.M’s first LP to be certified double platinum, and it was the album that broadened and solidified the band’s success across the Atlantic. An eclectic album, Green featured singles “Stand” and “Orange Crush” and was certified double platinum in the US, platinum in the UK, and peaked at #12 on the Billboard 200.
This LP reissue is cut from the 25th Anniversary remaster of the album on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl & includes a download card for digital redemption of the album as high quality MP3s.
