R.E.M.: Lifes Rich Pageant: THE I.R.S. YEARS VINTAGE 1986 VGC

Lifes Rich Pageant is the 4th studio album by American alternative rock band R.E.M., originally released in 1986. R.E.M. chose Don Gehman to produce the album, which was recorded at John Mellencamp's Belmont Mall Studio in Belmont, Indiana. This was the only album the band recorded with Gehman, who moved them from the more obscure and dense sound of their earlier albums to an accessible, hard rock-influenced quality. The album was well-received critically.
