An REM thread for r.e.m. stuff

[megatroptimus]

Ugh! I sure want that too!

 

[Sal Kramer]

Well, I missed out on the unplugged box set. Now, I must rely on the kindness of strangers, in the hopes that someone got it, and ripped it to a digital format. Anyone, anyone...? PLEEEEEEEEASE!!!

Thank you

this links leads to a shopping cart; to make it work it probably needs the direct download link or the discount code.
Thanks!

i got a 4xLP. it's pretty great. don't really plan on ripping it, though, as i've already got mp3s of both performances and the actual digital version will be out in a month

 

[megatroptimus]

It will?

 

[doctoracula]

according to the press release for the Unplugged RSD set, they said the CD and digital versions will be out may 20

 

[gargumma]

I plan to download vinyl-to-FLACs whenever they become available, then go and buy my CD in May or June and compare versions, and have both if possible.

 

[NZ.rem.fan]

It will?

I emailed Kevin O Neil asking if he could confirm the rumors of a cd/digital release in May were true and I got a yes out of that email so only a month to countdown

MTV doesn't let me watch most of their video online in Costa Rica.
Any of you can rip the "Swan Swan H" unplugged video, and share it in here please?

So, Scott managed to release 57 new songs on Record Store Day.* I wish R.E.M. would pull off something similar next year with unreleased demos, even if they're all instrumental!

*Is it me of that man is crazy prolific? Between the Minus 5, the Young Fresh Fellows, the Baseball Project and God knows what else, how many songs has the man written and recorded?

Any of you with the complete recording of this:1985-11-26 - St. Petersburg, FL?

[gargumma]

It will?

The official release email from REM HQ on April 4 says: "And in May the entire record will be released on CD and normal digital channels."

But I'd sure like a good viny rip to FLAC before that. Been checking my usual sources, but nothing so far.
