Up (25th Anniversary Edition): 2CD

Released in 1998, Up is the eleventh studio album from R.E.M. In the UK ‘UP’ is platinum certified and charted at #2 on release. The album, featuring the singles "Daysleeper,” “Lotus,” “Suspicion” and “At My Most Beautiful,” draws inspiration from electronic music, using a wide range of tools to create a dreamy pop landscape that is reflective and moody. It was the band's first album without drummer Bill Berry, who retired from the group in October of 1997. This deluxe reissue celebrates the album’s 25^th anniversary.

♦    Disc 1: Original album remastered

♦    Disc 2: A complete previously unreleased 11-song (12-track) live set from the band’s appearance from R.E.M.’s ’99 taping for hit TV series Party of Five  

-          The LIVE set represents one of the first times R.E.M. performed songs from Up, so it’s positioned as an intimate “rehearsal” to the in-studio crowd. The set includes the hits + Up tracks. 

-          Fans are aware that the performance happened, but unaware that this audio capture exists (no bootlegs currently online for this bonus material)
