It’s coming out later this year. Bertis Downs and Chris Hartstonge (who is one of their archivists) have both confirmed that on Facebook in recent days. They’ve begun to tease it on the R.E.M. Facebook groups.

Awesome! Im expecting many demos, outtakes and alternate versions for this one. There are no liveshows for this album unless they go for another one from the Monster tour.tragabigzanda wrote:Tentative release date of 10.29, according to this German site:

Yeah, New Adventures in HiFi is one of those desert island albums for me. Exciting.

Re: How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us: An REM Thread
not surprising there isn't much extra material to be had here. even a hi-res and 5.1 mix has been issued before. nice to see them throw out leave as the first track to promote the reissue, though.

Re: How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us: An REM Thread
considering that the majority of the original songs were recorded live, i'm not sure what value there is to adding live versions of the same songs
