R.E.M. have announced that they will be releasing a box set full of defining moments for the band.
The American icons announced that their six-disc DVD box set entitled REMTV will feature decades of television appearances, featuring footage of performances taken from concerts, award shows, their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and general TV appearances between the years of 1983 and 2007.
In a press release, band manager Bertis Downs said: “It occurred to us that there’s all this footage of some of the band’s absolute career highlights sitting in some MTV vaults in London and New York - and thanks to a lot of effort and digging and arranging, this is our chance to share that music with various generations of R.E.M. fans in a pretty unique release. And Alexander Young’s documentary is a fine way to tell the story of R.E.M. through its various twists and turns, as captured in real time by MTV’s cameras - it has some great funny bits too!”
The box set is due for release on 24th November, but can be pre-ordered now. Fans that pre-order will receive a download of R.E.M.’s MTV Sonic performance in Milan from 2001.
Earlier this year, the group released the 131 track rarity compilation Complete Rarities: Warner Bros. 1988-2011.
