An REM thread for r.e.m. stuff

Wow, you beat me to it. I was going to post links of all 5 nights of rehearsls, but that best of is much better! It sounds A LOT better than the one I had. How great is that version of I've Been High?! I LOVE it! :D Thanks Again!
 
Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Even the PO5 recording, while not perfect, is still very listenable. I'll be starting on the Not Bad For No Tour promo next. I'm still deciding how I wanna do the videos. I just figured out how to put them on DVD, so if that would be easier than youtube, let me know! You shouldnt have much trouble ripping the audio from it. Thanks again for all you've shared. :)
 
+Perfect Circle (live Later) / Suspicion (live Later) from suspicion single
+21 May 2001 - MTV Unplugged, MTV Studios, New York, NY complete unedited should be able to fill 2cds

I'm not positive, but I know I had The Complete recordings for Unplugged 2001 at one time. I need to look and see if I still have it on CD. I believe I have a Bootleg of the BBC 'Later' show, at least most of it. i don't see PC on it, but if you'd be interested? According to the Suspicion singles I have, the Japanese 3' inch CD has the Jools Holland version of PC, and A different version of Suspicion (Live @ Ealing Studios) Also, the 3 inch Lotus single has yet ANOTHER Live in studio version of Suspicion. Would you be interested in any of those?

Hi there, I'm new to these forums,

I've started a bit of REM trading with the user 'REMFan' here and thought I may as well share some of those rarities I have to offer with anyone else interested. If what I've put up on this first post doesn't interest you, I do have plenty more stuff to come and will gladly trade with anybody who can help me find other REM rarities I'm looking for.

This first .zip is of 8 'Misc. rarities' as requested, has the following tracklist:

"Misc. rarities" = 23MB http://www.sendspace.com/file/ivane9

01. 'Cowbell Song' (v. short instrumental clip of an unreleased demo from 'Up', audio extracted from 'This Way Up' documentary)
02. Final Straw (Rough Mix 2003) (early version released on REMHQ.com in March 2003 in protest to the invasion of Iraq)
03. 'Interim Medley' (1986 instrumental demo from Lifes Rich Pageant sessions)
04. Jazz Lips (early Chronic Town demo recorded 4/10/81 at Reflection Studios, NC)
05. March (instrumental, early demo version of King of Birds c. 1986)
06. Pretty Persuasion (live, 7/10/03, Clinton Studios, NYC - B-side to Animal single)
07. Try Not to Breathe (early mix) (seemingly an unfinished mix, sounding slightly different to final AFTP version)
08. Weatherman (live, 15/12/02, Vancouver, BC) (awful quality, but the only known recording of this then-new song never to have been played since)

I apologise for the messy tracklist ordering, but you should find the files clearly named so you can rearrange them into some sort of order if you wish after.

Hope you enjoy this. As I say, there is plenty more to come and plenty more still. Don't hesitate to get in contact if there's something specific you want to trade (REM-wise). I've had a look over this forum already and I'll see if I can help out with any requests already made.

Well, I look forward to hopefully swapping some forgotten gems!
Bye now!
 
hey boomers86
ive got a tonne of goodies. there's lots of stuff i didnt have from that misc. thanks. if you want my list of rem stuff then let me know & i can send you it if you want a trade. hope youve found some goodies on the thread
