R.E.M. "Up" (25th Anniversary 2CD + Blu-Ray Edition out in November!)

[marpow]

Is the 2023 better for the two sets' respective prices, though? (I.e. Is it worth paying more for this set than simply buying the DVD-A release?)

I'm probably not that good for answering, definitely if you have neither I would buy the 2023.
Sound wise, if you already have the 2005, I would just stay with that.
If you are a huge R.E.M. fan, I am certain you would like the Blu Ray video content.
It is not a top shelf release for R.E.M.

I think you're spot on, marpow.

I'd love them to release the already perfect compilation "in time" on blu-ray ... With the bonus tracks available on the DVD "in view" (and lotus of course that was missing from both)

With you on that. I love every song on In Time.

 

[quadrifonico]

I'm tempted to buy Up on blu-ray just for Lotus in multichannel but I wonder if worth it

But I do wonder why radio song isn't included?

By the way I been considering getting a copy of "out of time" on blu-ray .... Out of print and very expensive... anybody knows where I might find reasonably priced copies? Thanks

It is. Well actually it's on Out of Time. That's the one I was thinking of.

Yes yes I know. But by the way you know if any R.E.M. album is available in multichannel for streaming as well? Thanks

Hmm. I know Murmur was but if it's still available, I don't know.

I don't think OOT ever came out on BD. It was on DVDA. If wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

There is. Bundled with 3 CDs in yet another box set but sadly already out of print

OK. I missed it somehow.

I think the earlier CD/DVD-A version is more reasonably priced, compared to the box set. Still out of print, though. It should be the same mix as on the Blu-ray.

Well kick my butt and call me Charlie. I discovered I actually have it. Ah..so much music, so little time.
I guess I've been deferring to the DVDA version for some reason.

Lucky you have. I missed the opportunity when it was ridiculously cheap... Don't ask me why I didn't buy it

Weird..or maybe not so much...I don't remember buying it! But there it is in the racks.

murmur and automatic for the people are both available in atmos on apple music.

 

[Stupy]

murmur and automatic for the people are both available in atmos on apple music.

Murmur and Automatic are the only one (knowingly) mixed in atmos at the moment.

The remainder available are not streaming and are in 5.1- all in DVDA; some also in box sets now with blurays. Document, Green, Out Of Time, Monster, New Adventures in Hi Fi, Up, Reveal, Around the Sun and In Time (a best of).

Wow…
I have resisted streaming…
“Murmer” might make me figure it out
