742.0. "R.E.M." by TLE::WARD (John Ward) Fri May 01 1987 18:26

	R.E.M. - `Dead Letter Office' (Chronic Town inclusive) CD

			*** available now! ***
		   (63+ minutes of R.E.M.u.s.i.c.)

	"Being a collection of oddities collared and B-sides compiled."
	"We do soundtracks."

	Now, tell me, what other group or record company has done this
	sort of thing?

	Bravo, I.R.S.!!!

742.1	Scrape that Barrel Clean	AQUA::ROST	His vorpal blade went snicker-snack	`Mon May 04 1987 10:05`	37
	Who else??? The Who "Odds and Sods" "Who's Missing" Peter Townshend "Scoop" Elvis Costello "Taking Liberties" The Beatles "Rarities" Cream "Live Cream volumes 1 to 2,000,000" Jimi Hendrix "Rainbow Bridge" "War Heroes" "Midnight Lightning" "Crash Landing" etc., etc. Blind Faith "Blind Faith" CD The Monkees "Monkee Business" ETC., ETC., ETC. Not all of these are on CD or anywhere near 60 minutes in length but the record company concept of putting out stuff that was originally deemed "useless" is a hallmark of the industry that wants to copy-proof your DAT player and tax your blank tapes. P.S. This is not to imply that the stuff on the REM disk is trash, it's probably real good (I already have some of the 45s) it's just that IRS is not all that altruistic... Brian
742.2	Another good value	VAXWRK::BELLIVEAU		`Tue May 05 1987 13:47`	5
	and for Credence Clearwater Revival fans... CCR's 20 Greatest Hits (title?) with about 69 minutes worth of tunes which I got through CBS CD club.
742.3	CCR => CHRONICLE	NHL::NEIL	Peter C.	`Tue May 05 1987 17:15`	12
	re .2 > and for Credence Clearwater Revival fans... > > CCR's 20 Greatest Hits (title?) with about 69 minutes worth of tunes > which I got through CBS CD club. Isn't that the one called "CHRONICLE" ? I have it and it's the next best thing to owning all their albums. The sound is only fair, but considering when the originals were taped, I'll live with it. P.
742.4	R.E.M. update	TLE::WARD	John Ward	`Fri Sep 23 1988 12:20`	10
	The following was extracted from a recent R.E.M. newsletter: October 3, I.R.S. will release _Eponymous_, a collection of R.E.M. songs. Election Day - November 8, Warner Bros. will release R.E.M.'s NEW ALBUM. (Two things to do that day and voting is the other.) The working title is _Think_Tank_Decoy_. [...] (Sounds as if there may be some mandolin and a "Pop Song" or two on the new record.) The band plans to tour sometime after the New Year.
