R.E.M. was an American rock band formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry. They gained early attention for their unique guitar style and distinct vocals. R.E.M. released their first single in 1981 and went on to achieve mainstream success with hits like "The One I Love". Known for their political and environmental concerns, they continued to evolve their sound throughout the years. In 2011, R.E.M. disbanded after a successful career spanning over three decades.

One of the pioneers of alternative rock, R.E.M.'s influence can be seen in subsequent acts such as Nirvana and Pavement. Their commercially successful albums "Out of Time" (1991) and "Automatic for the People" (1992) showcased a departure from their established sound. The band's versatility is evident in their more rock-oriented album "Monster" (1994). Despite some changes in musical style, R.E.M. continued to release music into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success.

In recognition of their impact on the music industry, R.E.M. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Throughout their career, they remained dedicated to touring and promoting important causes while playing large arenas worldwide.

Back In Stock

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of R.E.M.’s tenth studio album, New Adventures in Hi-Fi. For their tenth studio album, R.E.M. experimented with new sonic textures-the album is filled with cinematic imagery, dissonant notes and haunting effects. The band wrote and recorded much of 1996's New Adventures in Hi-Fi while on the road, and that vibe is reflected in themes throughout the album's songs. New Adventures was certified platinum in the US and the UK, and includes singles "E-Bow the Letter" (featuring Patti Smith) and "Bittersweet Me."

2 LP - This special pressing—replicating the original gatefold package—offers the newly remastered album across 2-LPs, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, with lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. The platinum-selling album features the singles “Bittersweet Me,” “Electrolite,” and “E-Bow the Letter.”

2 CD - This expanded collection offers the original album newly remastered, along with 13 B-sides and rarities. The 2-CD edition also includes an exclusive 24” x 24” pull-out poster and four collectible postcards, as well as a booklet featuring archival photographs and new liner notes with reflections from the band, Patti Smith, Thom Yorke, Scott Litt and more.

Deluxe 2 CD/Blu-ray - This Deluxe 2-CD/1-Blu-ray offers a trove of content, including the remastered album, B-sides and rarities, a previously unreleased outdoor projection film, and EPK. Also features hi-res and 5.1 Surround Sound audio, plus restored music videos including “Electrolite” and “E-Bow the Letter.” Housed in a hardcover book containing archival photos and new liner notes with reflections from the band, Patti Smith, Thom Yorke, and more.
