R.E.M.’s Out Of Time album came a few years after their Warner Bros Music debut, Green. With it, the band turned into more than the cult band they were previously loved as. To accentuate that transition, R.E.M.’s latest album produced two strong singles, two that are so well known that you’d have to have been asleep back in the early ’90s to not know them. The first was “Losing My Religion”, the second “Shiny Happy People”. The album and its contents won the band seven Grammys with wins for Best Record (“Losing My Religion”), Best Song (“Losing My Religion”), Best Album, and Best Rock Song (“Radio Song”). Out of Time was released in 1991. That makes 2016 the 25th Anniversary of the classic album that pre-dated the incredible Automatic for The People released the following year in 1992.

On November 18, Concord Records will reissue a new remaster of Out Of Time for a 25th Anniversary Edition that will appear in several configurations. There will be a 2CD 25th Anniversary Edition featuring the original album, along with a second CD of 19 bonus tracks (see list below). There is a 3CD/1BD Deluxe 25th Anniversary Edition with an extra added CD that contains the fifteen track Live At Mountain Stage, and a Blu-ray-Audio collection of the original tracks in several variations, as well as Time Piece. For the vinyl aficionados, there will be a 3LP set, and a single original album only LP. The DD versions have already been available for some time.

The included booklets, I’m sure, will be perfect inclusions.
