This R.E.M. 12 inch is an import, made in Holland, but with UK licensing stuff on it. Anyhow, I’ve always liked “S. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)” and I think this is the album version. On the flipside is “Voice of Harold” which is some sort of strange rework of “7 Chinese Brothers”, I think, and their version of Lou Reed’s/Velvet Underground’s “Pale Blue Eyes.” There is an article about it at Wikipedia, but it doesn’t explain what “Voice of Harold” is all about. They’re all good, but I like “Pale Blue Eyes” the best.
No comments about the REM album, although I have to say I’m surprised by how many have been reviewed on this site. I just need to know one thing…..and that is when is there ever going to be a review of “THE CULT” on this site? As I recall the host blogger was by all accounts pretty into them about 20 years ago!
Indeed there will be some Cult records, but there are a lot of other “C” records before those. Gerrit, where have you been?!?
