R.E.M.'s eponymous second album, Reckoning, re-mastered and re-issued. Second disc includes a live recording taken from a performance at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom in 1984.



R.E.M's second album, Reckoning, saw them abandoning the post-punk aesthetic of their debut for a more garage-pop orientated sound. This LP contains ten melodic, jangly-pop gems - all driven by Michael Stipe's distinctive vocals. Although vastly different from its predecessor, Reckoning still proved to be just as influential a part of the '80s underground rock scene.
