R.E.M. expands their 1992 album featuring "Man on the Moon" and "Everybody Hurts" for its 25th anniversary. For the 3CD/1BD version, the remastered album is paired with two bonus CDs: one including a new remaster of the band's Greenpeace benefit set at The 40 Watt Club in their native Athens (the only show they did in the Automatic era), and another of 20 unreleased demos, including the fully-realized outtake "Mike's Pop Song." A Blu-ray features a new Dolby Atmos mix of the album (and compilation-only track "Photograph," a duet with Natalie Merchant) done by original album producer and engineer Scott Litt and Clif Norrell, plus seven music videos and a vintage EPK. The deluxe package, enclosed in a 12″ x 12″ lidded box, also features a 60-page book of unseen photos by Anton Corbijn and Melodie McDaniel, plus new liner notes by Scottish music journalist Tom Doyle, drawing from new interviews from the band. A 2-CD highlights edition has just the album and the live show, while a 180-gram vinyl release has the remastered original album. Whew!
