timbelmont Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I signed up for the bizarre text message service in order to pick this up today, but I haven't received anything - any word on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their SOP is to send a daily text with a record suggestion around 3:30 eastern, so I wouldn't be shocked if the texts go out in a couple of hours from now.

YouTwo Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm just wondering what the price is going to be. I'm guessing $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tape Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yeah it's a little bit much. That said if it lasts through tomorrow and the remhq sale I'd be surprised. 2500 isn't that many for a band this big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I'll probably still order it because I don't currently own any version of Document and recently started checking stores for it. So this thing hit at just the right time. Edit: Just got the text and ordered it. Edited May 31, 2018 by YouTwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 This is up at REMHQ USA and UK: http://smarturl.it/remdocument http://smarturl.it/remukdocument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondie Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks Alex, I wonder if this really is limited to 2,500 copies. The text sign up thing is totally stupid but now that the REM store is selling it both in the UK and US, its makes me wonder..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it was, honestly, so it’s kinda cool to see that it’s already in the mail. REM is one of those bands where I still need to collect most of their works.

After that it's either wait for reissues or track down expensive originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $120 for New Adventures VG+, $80 for Up sealed, $45 for Reveal sealed, $70 for Monster VG+, and $70 for Around the Sun sealed about two years ago. Hopefully they aren't more expensive now.

My god. I am glad I grabbed these when they came out. Just a heads up for “New Adventures..” fans. I was not a big fan of the US pressing. The UK one (Alsdorf) was a nice improvement to my ears. Got rid of the original US one decades ago, for next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed on two $50 copies of New Adventures cause I thought that was too much. Then a month or two later, they were selling for $100-150 and $120 seemed like a reluctant deal. I also got the UK addition but didn't realize the US one was inferior or less good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, I might have just bought one that did not turn out all that well. Some say no two records sound “exactly” alike. My original US “Out Of Time” that I bought at Reckless for $10.98 sounds AMAZING. So my expectations were pretty high for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after reading this, I had to bust out my two copies (I have a sealed and an open copy) and check the matrix on my open copy. Seems that I have at least one US copy and assume the other is as well because it says it was made in the USA anyway. Just gave it a spin, and it is a tad bit more veiled that I remember it being, but it's no slouch either. Now I want a German/EU copy to compare with. Hmmm...

Are you the person on here that has the huge R.E.M. bootleg collection? I seem to remember someone around these parts posting one at one point.

I seem to remember someone around these parts posting one at one point. I don't know if I've posted it on here but I do have a semi-large collection of R.E.M. bootlegs on vinyl. If you or anyone was ever curious about the quality or contents of specific ones, I'd be glad to help answer questions. I own or have owned most of the ones that were listed in the Discogs database. Some are awesome, a lot are terrible quality wise, but they're all pretty interesting as collector's items. I've only ever got rid of 2-the one where the non-Stipe members played some Byrds cover songs live and the Rolling Stones one were so bad I didn't want to hold on to them. Speaking of, when Discogs stopped allowing bootlegs on the marketplace, it was a huuuuge bummer. I had maybe 6-7 more I wanted to pick up that I was waiting for a better price on and now they're gone. They haven't turned up on eBay or any of the smaller UK/european marketplaces. I was also starting to collect Talking Heads bootlegs when bootlegs were yanked from the marketplace. Edited June 4, 2018 by swb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought someone has posted a fairly decent collection the "Show Your Collection Band or Label" thread. But now that the search is pretty weak on here I couldn't find it.

I have a few others since I took this pic and a few bootleg 7"s as well. The only thing I'm itching to get my hands on is the Finest Lunchbox and I can't seem to find a complete set in decent shape and I've been looking for years.
