R.E.M. – Green

With songs like Orange Crush, Pop Song 89 and Stand, the R. E.M. album Green became the first international success of the band from Athens, Georgia in 1988. The breakthrough album quickly went double platinum in the U.S. and laid the foundation for a decade-long career as the world's most successful alternative rock band

"To mark the 25th anniversary, there's now a remastered ,,Anniversary Edition": slightly higher in level, subtly more natural in surround sound and smoother in the drum and vocal parts." (Audio, July 2013)
