Life's Rich Pagent, Eponymous, and Dead Letter Office. Nothing known about remastering or anything. REM is my all time favorite band but this seems unnecessary. Go get em at a used store any time.

But wait...these new pressings will be NEW...so they have to be better, right? *sarcastic thumbs down*

Concord Bicycle Group bought the rights in December.  All reissues will be through them.

I looked into this label. I have low expectations based on what they have done and who they own the rights to

 

I still cant believe WB would sell off the rights to one of the biggest bands of the last 30 years

one day, I will walk into a record store and a used copy of Out of Time will just be sitting there untouched for under $50.00 :rolleyes:

it's totally possible. I walked into one of my usual haunts one day and Out of Time was sitting there at an incredibly low price. I can't remember what I paid, but it was under $20. Shortly there after, I stumbled across a copy of Monster for $30.

I believe Warner Brothers licensing deal ended and the rights reverted back to the band and then Concord Group purchased the licensing rights from the band.  I don't know what Concord is like as a "label" as they seem like a strange boutique licensing group for just a few large, unrelated bands.  I'm hoping the reissues for the WB era records are also under $20 and well pressed.

New Adventures in Hi Fi is what i really want.

Monster and Out of Time would be nice to have too, but my first choice is Hi Fi.

I had the US OG "New Adventures in Hi-Fi," and I was not happy with the sound.

 

Then I paid the extra for the German "Alsdorf" pressing. Sounded much better to my ears. :)
