R.E.M.'s 1991 classic is revisited as a 3 CD/1 Blu-ray set, a 2-CD set, a 3-LP set, a single LP of the original album and as a digital download as part of the band's new deal with Concord Bicycle Music.  The box includes the original album on Disc 1 followed by nineteen demo tracks on Disc 2.  The third disc contains a concert from Capitol Plaza Theater in Charleston, West Virginia performed on April 28, 1991 and aired on NPR as an installment of their Mountain Stage program.  The Blu-ray has the original album both in Hi-Resolution Stereo and Hi-Resolution 5.1 Surround.  It also contains 8 music videos and an 18-minute EPK which contains studio and performance footage.  The new liner notes by music journalist Annie Zaleski features interviews with the band members and producers of the album.  The 2-CD edition contains the first two discs of the deluxe edition and the 3-LP edition replicates those two discs as well.  Whew!
