The Best of R.E.M. 500x500.jpg
 
I have both the DTS CD version, and this one. The DVD-Video version from Edsel label. This version has a fairly different mix in places. One of my favorite parts is during Fly Like And Eagle. The "tick/tock" is in rears (left, then right). On the DTS CD, that part is more anchored in the front (or maybe center....certainly not rears)

The DTS-CD used the '70s quad mix, while the DVD-V has a new 5.1 remix from the multis by Ed Cherney (also responsible for the 5.1's of Bonnie Raitt's Nick Of Time and The Wallflowers' Red Letter Days). Curiously, both surround mixes omit the majority of the "Space Intro" that comes before the title track (missing multis?). I tend to opt for the 5.1 as the sonics are superior and the mix is a bit more adventurous, but the quad is a fun listen too as there are some interesting alternate bits like the extended version of "Take The Money & Run".
