UMC, short for Universal Music Catalogue, is a prominent label under the UK branch of Universal Music. Established around 2016, UMC has been dedicated to preserving and promoting an extensive collection of music from various genres and eras. With its rich catalogue, UMC offers music enthusiasts a diverse range of timeless classics and hidden gems.

In 2023, UMC underwent a rebranding process and emerged as Universal Music Recordings. This new identity further solidifies their position as a leading force in the music industry. As Universal Music Recordings, they continue to curate and release exceptional music that resonates with audiences worldwide.

Whether you're seeking iconic hits or discovering lesser-known treasures, UMC (now known as Universal Music Recordings) ensures that the power of music remains accessible to all who appreciate its magic.

After a harrowing experience recording their previous album (1985's magnificent 'Fables Of The Reconstruction'), Rem reconvened the following year muttering something about a 'poppier' sound. However, old fans were given little to complain about when 'Life's Rich Pageant' was unveiled. Admittedly new producer Don Gehman had cleaned things up; you can even hear what Michael Stipe was singing on a couple of songs. And, yes, there's even a novelty cover ('Superman'). All these factors though, point to a band really enjoying themselves in the studio, from the euphoric clatter of 'Begin The Begin' to the poignant waltz-time strum of 'Swan Swan H'. Highlights? Too many to mention - but it's hard to disagree with Stipe when he cites 'Cuyahoga' and the hymnal 'Fall On Me' as two of his very best. LP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Download.
