Aug 25, 2016 R.E.M. By Christopher Roberts

Ready to feel old, longtime R.E.M. fans? The band have announced a 25th anniversary reissue of their 1991 album Out of Time, an album that grew the band’s fanbase thanks to radio hits “Losing My Religion” and “Shiny Happy People.” The album sold 12 million copies worldwide and was nominated for seven Grammys (it won three). The reissue comes in various formats, including a 2-CD set, a 3-LP set, and a 4-disc set. All three versions include a set of demos recorded at John Keane Studio in early 1990. The 4-disc set includes the band’s rare performance at Mountain Stage in 1991 (the band did not tour to promote Out of Time), and a Blu-ray disc with all of the music videos from the album and the 1991 electronic press kit “Time Piece” that features in-studio footage and exclusive performances. The full tracklisting for each version is below, followed by the original videos “Losing My Religion” and “Shiny Happy People.”
