R.E.M. is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic 1998 album, “Up,” with an exciting reissue set to drop on November 11th, courtesy of Craft. This remastered edition of the album comes with a delightful bonus – an 11-song live album capturing the band’s impromptu performance at the Palace Theatre in Los Angeles in 1999.

The reissue itself will be available in various formats, including a 2xCD/1xBlu-Ray edition. But that’s not all; it’s packed with additional goodies. There’s a six-song session from a London studio during the “Up” era and a collection of the band’s music videos. And if you’re a fan who loves to dive deep into the world of music, you’ll be thrilled to find a 32-page book included, featuring an essay by Josh Modell, based on new interviews with the band.

Now, let’s talk vinyl! The remastered album has not forgotten the vinyl enthusiasts out there. It’ll be released in a vinyl format, too, ensuring that you can enjoy the nostalgic crackle and warmth of those analog grooves.
