From Flagpole (via largehearted boy), we read that every R.E.M. album we own (more than a few) is now worth 25 cents, because I'll have to purchase (some) again....
Flagpole Magazine:
R.E.M.ainders: Details have also emerged on the upcoming re-issues of R.E.M.'s Warner catalog. Warner Brothers will reissue expanded editions of every R.E.M. album it's released, which means everything from 1988's Green up until this year's Around the Sun will get the special treatment. The double-disc editions will include remastered versions of the original albums and DVDs that'll include the same music remixed in 5.1 Dolby surround as well as documentaries and unreleased video footage. All the editions hit stores on February 15
sort of mercenary, you should be able to trade in your old copies. On the other hand, at least I won't have to get them all, because some albums are pretty lame, in retrospect.
