dawhizz Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I assume a standard version will be readily available, but there’s a limited clear/black marble version at the R.E.M. store. I have an OP but couldn’t pass up the limited vinyl/3 CD bundle cause this album rules. https://store.remhq.com/collections/new-adventures-in-hi-fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered black from my local store then saw the coloured but missed out there. My original copy is one of the best sounding vinyl I own so hoping this lives up to it!! dawhizz and danyc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danyc Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Put out by Craft Recordings, so that sounds promising.

To me the E.U. pressing of it sounds terrible and I compared it to an OG pressing. Very lifeless and compressed unfortunately. I am talking about this one: https://www.discogs.com/REM-Automatic-For-The-People/release/11115961 They might have learned a lesson from it though and will not use GZ Media again.

Trimm_Trabb Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I love that they are reissuing all of these, and I am excited to get another copy to give my original pressing a rest, but I really wish all of these 25th anniversary reissues had a bonus disc on vinyl of the bsides and rarities. I may be wrong, but I believe Out of Time has been the only one up to this point to do so? Monster also perplexingly was the only one to get an alternate mix? I’m not complaining, but they’re about as consistent as the Bowie camp has been on reissues. R.E.M. is (in my opinion) the greatest American rock band of all time, and they deserve to get the best treatment in getting all of their material in the hands of their fans. There are some gems that came after Eponymous and Dead Letter Office that I’d love to have on vinyl without tracking down the original 7” singles. Anyways, I’m very happy that anyone who’s had a New Adventures In HiFi sized hole in their collection can now plug it, if they choose to do so.

timsimmons Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Agreed. There have been great shows and rarities on these and I wish more of them got a deluxe treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have bought this instantly if that cd disc of b-sides and rarities was part of the LP. Trimm_Trabb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 On a personal note, this rerelease is taking me back to ten years ago when I stumbled onto a vendor at our local record fair selling nice OPs of New Adventures in Hi-Fi and Electro-Shock Blues for $25 and $15, respectively and snagged them both. Probably the best deal I ever got, and yet it’s also convinced me to return to the record fair on a fairly regular basis (because you never know) with extremely diminishing returns. tape, Alan P and nickj 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I miss the era of buying records 15+ years ago where deals like that were easy to find. I remember finding OPs of STP Purple, Matthew Sweet 100% fun, Liz Phair Whipsmart and a few Pearl jam albums for $2-$ each. nobody really wanted that stuff after the turn of the century. CDs and mp3s were king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 My baby woke me up earlier than usual today so I was wide awake when the REM mail list got alerted before 7am PST. I bought the biggest bundle immediately. No regrets. I collect their live/rarities bootlegs and I think the most recent ones are from their Out of Time era. It would have been cool if these reissues could have filled the gap with some bonus LPs of live shows and demos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Holy shit. It’s so well cut (Kevin Grey) and pressed (RTI in the US, Pallas in the EU). Glad they did this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
