REM - MONSTER[25TH ANNIVERSARY ED] Price: €27.99 Format: LP Availability: Immediate Dispatch

The 25th anniversary edition
features the remastered original
mix on CD 1, followed by a disc
of 15 previously unreleased
demos, with names like ‘Rocker
With Vocal' or ‘Mike's Gtr'. The
third CD is Scott Litt's new 2019
stereo remix and this is followed
by two further CDs that offer an
unreleased live set from the 1995
Monster Tour. In terms of the new
stereo mix, the idea was to pull
the guitars back and push the
vocals forward to create a more
open sound and showcase the
lyrics. You can get a taster by
listening to ‘What's The Frequency
Kenneth?', below.
The blu-ray is the sixth and
final disc and it includes hi-res
stereo and a 5.1 surround mix
of Monster. No Dolby Atmos this
time around, then. This disc also
features the blu-ray debut of the
1996 Road Movie concert film as
well as six music videos.
