    Highly underrated classic.

    Yep, my favorite REM disc by far. Not sure that I'll pick this up though, I find that w/ a lot of reissues, I don't listen to the bonus disc too much.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Easily in my Top 25 Albums EVAH! Just loaded it onto the daughters iPod as a matter of fact!

    Let's begin again, begin the begin
    Let's begin again like Martin Luther zen
    The mythology begins the begin
    Answer me a question I can't itemize
    I can't think clear, you look to me for reason
    It's not there, I can't even rhyme here in the begin
    [sic] happens

    I remember the first time I played the album way back when....."begin the begin" was such a depature from "feeling gravity's pull" in terms of the first song on each album.

    Lifes Rich Pageant (and in particularly Fall On Me) was the album that made me a life long fan of the band. Happy to see it getting "the treatment."

    So looking forward to this. Hard for me to have a favorite REM album but I have a special love for this one.

    damn toughest tour to find a decent sounding boot

    yet the band was at it's peak!
    not sure why this one didn't have a live show like the previous reissues?

    I saw their 11/2/86 show at the Wang center in Boston (there is an audience boot ) and it remains one of my top 5 all time greatest concerts.
    stipe even made mention about that particular show in a rolling stone article so I was really praying it would be a bonus disc for this anniversary !
    damn!

    I completely agree. It, along with Murmur are hands down my favorite R.E.M. records. Life's Rich Pageant just starts off with a major bang and continues through perfectly.

    Cuyahoga is by far one of my favorite sing-along songs.

    id get this for the demos of
    Flowers of...
    Cuyahoga
    These Days
    I Believe

    alone.
    not sure how long those "Athens Demos" boots have been circulating, but i'm pretty bad about finding that stuff, unless it falls under my nose. New to me, anyhow. :D

    If I opened it now would you not understand?
