Cranberries Precious Gem is Now Available Again, and It Too Will Be Highly Collectible

CRANBERRIES PRECIOUS GEM IS NOW AVAILABLE AGAIN, AND IT TOO WILL BE HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE – by Tony Mastrianni.

While we await some more reissues from  THE CRANBERRIES album catalog from Island Records, coming out just now is a rare Limited Edition Collector’s item release  UNCERTAIN, which was an EP released as their debut recording in the autumn of 1991 by Xeric Records. The artifact was pressed on vinyl (only 5,000 copies were made). Right now the original it is fetching upwards of $450 on eBAY! Now this new Limited-Edition reissue 2026 pressing is the reproduction of this extremely rare 45 RPM four-track 12-inch recording. In addition to being limited, this reissue contains a custom-numbered stamp.  This is their first-ever record release as The CRANBERRIES (they were previously known as “THE CRANBERRY SAW US”).  Also sure to be a true collector’s item, this highly desirable offering showcases the then-young Irish alternative rock band at the crossroads, catapulting from an obscure, little-known local band to a worldwide music sensation!  Act fast to try to get a copy at your local independent record stores. You can capture the essence of this once pivotal moment in their early history, when few people outside of Ireland ever heard of them.  For record-collecting aficionados, it preceded the band’s 1993 breakout album, EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT, SO WHY CAN’T WE? That release would contain their underground hits “Dreams” and “Linger,” which would launch them into stardom.  Enough said!
