To celebrate the landmark album's 25-year anniversary, Rhino has released 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 comes with four postcards and a foldout poster, plus insightful liner notes by Uncut editor, Allan Jones.
