I thought for sure they would put "Live For Today" on there. Even though it was released in 1997, the lyrics are in the book that came with the O.G. limited edition of the album from 1996.

weren't they originally intended for zither, though, hence their inclusion in that limited version art, then they just recycled those unused lyrics for live for today? one of the up songs (daysleeper i think?) was demoed in the new adventures period, too. maybe they're just saving them for that reissue, if it gets the anniversary treatment.

REM albums are already some of the best sounding in my collection, don't see the need for this.

Unless you're really jonesing for a vinyl version, I don't think you need it either
I have original LPs of everything through Up.

its still a difficult album for me. But it prefer it to Reveal, for example.
