    Being an OG R.E.M. fan, this MFSL sounds beautiful. Nice separation and the bass is pronounced without being overdone. The RTI pressing is quiet too.

      Interesting fact…MFSL long time hometown - ’Sebastopol’, Ca. - spelled incorrectly on back cover.

        Just bought a copy of this second-hand and there is no number stamped in the white box on the back. Could that jacket have been from leftover stock?

          My favorite REM album, presented nicely by MFSL. I agree with Hondohill that this pressing lacks some of the brightness of the original, but it is well balanced.

            I agree 100% with previous reviews. Great pressing that, to my ears, dampens some the brightness of my previous copies (this is an improvement for me), but it is still dynamic.

              This pressing sounds exquisite. Head and shoulders better than the original pressing.

                Amazing copy of LRP. Loving it! A must for early REM fans.

                  This is one of my favorite releases ever. Great album and quite frankly one the best of what MoFi has to offer. LRP has never sounded better imo!
