Remastered 2 CD set includes exclusive disc of live performances recorded at the Greensboro, NC stop of the group’s Green World Tour on November 10, 1989. Includes four postcards, a fold out poster and insightful liner notes by Uncut editor Allan Jones packaged in a hard clamshell box. Also available on single disc vinyl.
Prior to it's original release back in 1988 I had only dabbled with R.E.M., I liked a track here and there but was not overly concerned with them being on my musical radar. That all changed with the release of 'Green'. For me it sounded like a breath of fresh air with some fantastic songs like 'Pop Song 89', 'You Are The Everything', 'Stand', 'Turn You Inside Out' and my favourite 'World Leader Pretend'.
Listening to the album as I put this piece together has just reminded me what a great body of work it is, I'm hard pressed to say that there's a bad track on it. I guess that a lot of fans of their previous albums would be in for a shock at how pop/rock orientated it was (more than a few had declared that the band had "sold out" with their sigining to Warners), but for me that was its' charm.
