R.E.M. has announced a 25th anniversary reissue of their 1998 album, Up, set for release on Nov. 10.
The collection includes a newly remastered version of the album, plus a previously unreleased 11-song set taken from the band’s 1999 appearance on the TV show Party of Five. There are also new interviews with the members, music videos and more.
“The intersection of visual and musical art is always interesting, so it was cool to be a part of TV,” bassist Mike Mills recalled in a press release.
You can see the track listing for the deluxe two-CD/Blu-ray edition below.
Previously Unreleased R.E.M. Song
Ahead of the release, you can hear a previously unreleased version of “Daysleeper” from the Party of Five recording session below.
“There are dozens of great R.E.M. live sets out there, but nothing quite like this up-close oddity,” Josh Modell writes in the set’s liner notes. “Loose and happy, the band runs through a good chunk of Up in front of a small crowd. … Stipe is chatty, telling stories about accidentally ripping off Billy Corgan (and telling Corgan about it), playing with the Human League on a funny stage at that very venue and more.”
