1. Win an R.E.M. Prize Pack!
Enter for a chance to win a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Prize Pack of R.E.M. Green!
R.E.M. achieved global success with the 1988 release of GREEN, the Athens, Georgia quartet’s sixth studio album and first for Warner Bros. Records. To celebrate the landmark album’s 25-year anniversary, Rhino is releasing a two-disc deluxe edition that features the remastered original album accompanied by a disc of live performances taken from the penultimate show of R.E.M.’s 130-date Green World Tour. All 21 songs were recorded in Greensboro, North Carolina on November 10, 1989, just miles from where Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry had their very first recording session at Mitch Easter’s Drive In Studio in Winston-Salem.
The anniversary set is packaged in a hard clamshell box (similar to previous R.E.M. reissues) and comes with four postcards and a foldout poster, plus insightful liner notes by Uncut editor, Allan Jones. GREEN: 25TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION will be available on May 14 as a 2-disc set and digitally. The same day, the remastered album with original art and packaging will also be available on 180-gram vinyl.
The GREEN: 25TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION includes the 2CD Box Set, 180-gram vinyl, LP print proof, original 1989 tour program, and a limited edition, five-track CD, the LIVE IN GREENSBORO EP, featuring a handful of performances from the Greensboro show that, due to space constraints, are not found on the Deluxe Edition. Only 2,500 copies of the disc were pressed for Record Store Day.
