L'8 settembre tornano i R.E.M..
Michael Stipe e soci faranno la gioia dei fan sparsi in tutto il mondo pubblicando una super-raccolta doppia, intitolata

La release comprende brani registrati dai primi anni '80 ai giorni nostri, arricchiti di perle rarissime come "All Right Friends" nella versione anni '80, prima che venisse ri-registrata per la colonna sonora di "Vanilla Sky".
