R.E.M. continued their ascendance to superstardom with this 1992 instant classic, which reached #2 and stayed on the charts for 75 weeks (just a year and a half after "Out of Time" rocketed them to #1). Vinyl collectors should opt for the new 180-gram pressing, though the 2-CD edition pairs the album’s new remaster with R.E.M.’s 1992 Greenpeace benefit set at the 40 Watt Club in their hometown of Athens, Georgia (this was the only live show they did surrounding the album’s release): the "Automatic" hits "Everybody Hurts," "Man on the Moon," "Drive," their earlier hits "Radio Free Europe," "Fall on Me," "Losing My Religion" and more. Deluxe edition takes all that and adds a CD of unreleased demos ("Drive," "Mike’s Pop Song," "Wake Her Up," "Peter’s New Song," "Bill’s Acoustic," "Howler Monkey" and more precious snapshots of the band’s works in progress). The deluxe-edition Blu-Ray disc brings you the album plus the bonus song "Photograph" (a duet with Natalie Merchant) mixed in hi-res audio and in stunning Dolby Atmos plus the "Automatic" press kit and music videos for "Everybody Hurts," "Man on the Moon," "Drive," "Find the River," "Nightswimming" and more. The 12" x 12" deluxe box is topped off with a 60-page book full of unpublished photos and notes featuring the band’s reflections on this career triumph! Craft.
