Description
R.E.M. — Green (1988) Original US BMG Direct Marketing Club Pressing
Catalog: R 100715
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Club Edition
Condition: Factory Sealed / Mint- (Jacket) / Mint (Vinyl)
💎 Attention Collectors & AudiophilesUp for auction is an absolute grail for jangle-pop, alternative rock, and indie collectors: an original 1988 US club pressing of R.E.M.'s major-label breakthrough, Green, remaining completely pristine and Factory Sealed for nearly four decades.
This isn't a modern reissue or a lightweight digital remaster. This is a rare BMG Direct Marketing Club Edition pressed during the album's initial 1988 release run. Because club distributions were strictly limited to mail-order subscribers, finding a copy that evaded a turntable and survived completely untouched in its original factory shrink wrap is exceptionally rare.
Jacket Condition & Flaw DisclosureThe jacket is a gorgeous, museum-grade Mint-.
-
Shrink Wrap: The original factory seal is 100% intact, tight, and glassy across both fields.
-
Corners & Seams: Razor-sharp corners with zero blunt impact wear. Spine text and graphics are perfectly aligned and crisp.
-
Storage Notes: The right opening edge displays just a micro-hint of natural breathing/storage relaxation to the shrink wrap, keeping the construction perfectly square without warping the jacket panels. There are no seam splits, no corner pushes, and no promotional cuts or punches anywhere.
This is a true premium upgrade copy meant for the top shelf of a serious collection.
