R.E.M. – Out Of Time (CD, 1991, Warner Bros. Records W2 26496)

Why This CD Matters
Out Of Time marked R.E.M.’s transition from alternative-rock mainstay to worldwide commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200. “Losing My Religion” became the band’s breakthrough pop hit, while “Shiny Happy People,” “Near Wild Heaven,” and “Country Feedback” show the album’s unusually broad musical range. Produced by Scott Litt and R.E.M., the record expanded the band’s sound with mandolin, strings, horns, and guest appearances including KRS-One and Kate Pierson.

Collector Note
This 1991 US Warner Bros. Records CD carries catalog number W2 26496, distinguishing it from the standard US 9 26496-2 catalog-number editions. The album was recorded across several studios and mastered by Stephen Marcussen, with Scott Litt again working closely with the band as producer and engineer. The W2 26496 issue retains the original 11-track program, running from “Radio Song” through “Me In Honey.”
