“New Adventures in Hi-Fi” is the 10^th album by R.E.M.(Rapid Eye Movement). Many critics claim it was their best album. Released by Warner Brothers in 1996 as a two-record set, it is now valued up to $200.00. Their first 45 for Hibtone Records was “Radio Free Europe.” A copy showing the street address for Hibtone on the label is worth up to $125.00. If no address is shown on the label, as seen here, the value jumps up to $650.00. Add another $200.00 for the picture sleeve.
