An REM thread for r.e.m. stuff

[fredharris]

I have this Aftermath demo. It's not dissimilar to the final version from the album, but it's played at a faster tempo and is all the better for it.

However, it's a 192kbps MP3 and the sound quality is pretty crappy. Does anyone have a better-sounding version they can share, or even know if there's a better-sounder version circulating?

Thanks!

Reminds me of this. Used to listen to this all the time but haven’t for years now.

I just found out that there's apparently an acoustic version on mandolin of the song Falls To Climb. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anybody have access to this song or have heard about it?

The mandolin version of Falls to Climb is one of the Up demos:

This is fantastic! Thank you! I've been looking for these tracks for years. I really appreciate the post.

Any chance you've got Around the Sun Redux in some format other than a DRM-protected m4p? My understanding is that format can only be played by the original owner with the associated iTunes username and password.

Thank you, sir!

Collapse Into Now iTunes Bonus Tracks (download):
Discoverer (Live in Studio)
Oh My Heart (Live in Studio)
Alligator_Aviator_Autopilot_Antimatter (Live in Studio)

Uberlin German iTunes Single (download): see link
Every Day Is Yours to Win (Live in Studio)

Leaving New York: B.B.C. Live at St. James Church (download): see link
Leaving New York (Live)

iTunes Originals (download):
Something like 22 tracks unavailable elsewhere

Thanks again, even in lieu of any response to this latest post....

Here are all the Collapse Into Now Hansa songs listed above:

Every Day Is Yours to Win (Live in Studio) having an official release is new to me, so thanks for highlighting it. That leaves All The Best and Mine Smell Like Honey that I think were only ever released as videos. Does anyone know if they've ever seen official audio releases elsewhere?

And the iTunes Originals tracks:

I don't have the LNY download. I assume it's the same as on R.E.M. at the BBC.

 

[Rivers of Suggestion]

Once again, thank you!

I'm not aware of any official audio-only release for All The Best and Mine Smell Like Honey either.

Both R.E.M. at the B.B.C. and the St. James Live release are, I believe, recordings of the same Leaving New York performance. But I have seen them listed as different lengths. If this is true then they are presumably different edits of the same performance.

This was a nice surprise this morning.

Hey, here's that version but at 320kbps, I believe. Hope that helps. Thanks to both you and Gargumma for the recent uploads!

Thanks for that. Unfortunately it sounds the same, so it's probably the best there is circulating. I appreciate the upload!
