R.E.M.: New adventures in Hi-Fi (Deluxe/Rem) [Digibook / 2 CD + Blu-ray]

'Vi försökte hela tiden springa ifatt vår egen framgång.'<br/>Orden är Per Gessles och tiden han talar om ligger 40 år tillbaka, närmare bestämt 1981. Gyllene Tider har slagit igenom med dunder och brak ett år tidigare och de blyga pojkarna från Halmstad vet inte riktigt hur man ska vara i media, vilka kläder dom ska ha eller hur man skulle bete sig på de stora scenerna... ändå är dom störst. <br/>Den svåra skiva nummer två står för dörren - den som så många faller på. Men inte Gyllene Tider - det blir en succé långt över alla förväntningar.<br/><br/>Nu 40 år senare hyllas skivan med denna 3-set vinyl-box innehållande originalvinylen, en vinyl med alla låtar som släpptes kring albumet men som inte kom med på någon skiva. <br/>Samt en vinyl med alla låtar från originalskivan fast i deras ursprungliga format, inspelade live i replokalen i Harplinge. <br/><br/>Ta del av ett stycke svenska pop-historia.

4xCD, 60-page photobook.<br/>Remastered album + 2012 Portland, ME concert + 2012 BBC Radio 1 session + 2011 Electro-Vox session.
