gracetoo Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Not much is known about this release yet, other than its CD form is up for pre-order at Amazon: REM Live at the BBC And the vinyl edition will likely be a 2LP "Best Of" edition.] Official release date looks to be October 19.

Oblivions Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 They just revealed the vinyl artwork and details on Amazon: R.E.M. - Best Of R.E.M. At The BBC (2xLP) And the same for the CD complete version: R.E.M. - Best Of R.E.M. At The BBC (8 CDs) Snaggle Von Swift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check back later in the day or tomorrow, as I think they just made the image update. I was tipped off in a roundabout way because I pre-ordered the vinyl on Amazon.co.uk and I got an email saying the release date was just updated so I clicked the product page and saw the changes so far. If you find it elsewhere online, bump this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I never thought I'd buy another CD again, let alone a $50+ CD box set, but I have to get this one. I can't tell whether R.E.M. are actually being smart by making the vinyl a smaller tracklist and the CD the 'complete' tracklist. I ordered both, whereas I would have only ordered 1 complete vinyl box set, BUT the vinyl box set would have been quite a bit more overall $$$ BUT the profit margins (I imagine) are much higher for CDs. However that shakes out, they got at least $100 from me on this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I guess not releasing a 16 LP set means, they'll have material to release as sets later on (probably for RSDs). That LP2 (broadcasts) is pretty wack. So many better songs to choose from. Ultimately REM winds because I'm still gonna buy it.

Oblivions Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) They have tracklists on their site store now: https://store.remhq.com/products/bbc-2-lp https://store.remhq.com/products/bbc-cd-dvd-box-set Also the CD box set is $20+ cheaper on Amazon FYI. Vinyl is same price as Amazon, although, if you're super thrifty and don't mind waiting a few extra days for it to arrive, you can get it for $30 shipped from Amazon.co.uk. Also here's a teaser video: Edited September 6, 2018 by swb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm sure that Amazon US price will drop below $30. before the release. Hell, I bet this is a sub $20 release in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holland623 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 looking at the eras and what's on the box set, I'll likely bite on the CD set. Really hoping the re-issue of New Adventures is on the horizon next year. been trying to find an affordable version on vinyl for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 If R.E.M. is only going to reissue albums on the 25th Anniversary it's going to be a long time until I own all the albums in vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the albums on vinyl but a post-Berry albums box set with some kind of bonus records might pique my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I imagine around Up, nobody will care much for 25th anniversary reissues. I bet we see the post Berry years reissued at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
