R.E.M. To Release 25th Anniversary Edition Of ‘Up’

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band’s bestselling 11th studio album Up, R.E.M. will reissue an expanded edition.

Created in partnership with Craft Recordings, the deluxe edition features favorites like “Daysleeper,” “Lotus,” and “At My Most Beautiful” and will be released in 2-CD/1-Blu-Ray, 2-LP, 2-CD, digital, and hi-res audio formats on November 10.

The deluxe 2-CD/1 Blu-Ray set is housed in an expansive hardcover book, which includes liner notes from writer Josh Modell and new interviews with the band members. The set features the newly-remastered original album, plus a previously-unreleased 11-song live set from their ’99 appearance on the hit TV series, “Party of Five.”

The Blu-ray features HD music videos, a 6-song performance recorded in a London studio, plus the album’s original EPK, alongside hi-resolution and 5.1 surround-sound audio.

The remastered original 14-track album will be available on 2-LP vinyl with the limited edition Green Marble pressing, exclusive to remhq.com, alongside new merch. Pre-order it at https://found.ee/rem-up25
