THE DEFINITIVE SOUND SERIES (DSS) ONE-STEP EDITION OF R.E.M.’S RECKONING

The Definitive Sound Series (DSS) One-Step edition of R.E.M.’s Reckoning presents the landmark 1984 album with exceptional clarity, depth, and detail while preserving the energy and character of the original recording.

Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, this edition captures the warmth, dynamics, and natural balance that define Reckoning.

Original producers Don Dixon and Mitch Easter were involved in the project, helping ensure that every decision remained faithful to the sound and intent of the original release.

The meticulous One-Step manufacturing process eliminates additional production stages, allowing greater detail and immediacy to come through in the final pressing. The result is an exceptionally immersive presentation of this classic R.E.M. album.

Limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies, this collectible edition features premium heavyweight packaging, a gatefold jacket, and a uniquely designed slipcase.
