FIRST PICTURES / R.E.M. Out of Time four-disc deluxe edition
The image above is confirmation that for the forthcoming deluxe edition of R.E.M.‘s Out Of Time, the band and their management have abandoned the square ‘lift-off lid’ box sets used for previous reissues, such as Green and Document, preferring a DVD-sized ‘casebound book’ package, favoured by acts like the Manic Street Preachers for their own deluxe sets.
The four-disc 25th anniversary deluxe edition of Out Of Time is due in next month (the ‘monster‘ of a month for reissues) and features the remastered album, a disc of demos, a further CD of live performance and a blu-ray audio which delivers a 5.1 surround sound mix of the 1991 album.
Interestingly however, the two-CD edition of this reissue which is an album-and-demos combo, does opt for the lift-off lid box design used for previous deluxe sets. Presumably the label thinks this treatment (it also comes with a poster) justifies the high retail price of £19 for a two-CD set.
2CD Edition of Out Of Time
The Out of Time 25th anniversary editions will be issued on 18 November 2016, via Concord Bicycle Music.
