Giveaway: R.E.M. - '7IN – 83-88,' the I.R.S.-era Seven-Inch Singles
Dec. 9, 2014
For many R.E.M. diehards, the band's 1980s output on I.R.S. Records is their definitive work, including albums like their classic 1983 debut, Murmur, the energetic Lifes Rich Pageant and the jangly Reckoning. Now the seven-inch singles from that era have been collected in 7IN — 83-88, two of which are UK-specific singles that have never been released in America until now. The set was released today on Capitol/I.R.S., and we're giving a copy away to one lucky AllMusic reader.
