Have you seen the new R.E.M. reissues? WOW

Am I the only one who likes R.E.M. or has no one seen these reissues yet?

Paradales-I think REM have made a major boo-boo with this series.
I bought Green today (the oldest therefore the one I was most looking forward to hearing improvements on)from my local CD place-it'll be returned tomorrow.

The CD has not been re-mastered!
Therefore it is valid only as a DVD-A release and I think a bit sneaky including what is basically the same CD's as that have already been released.

These discs should have been released as DVD-A only or maybe they might have had the intelligence to actually remaster the Redbook copy included.A two disc release that is pointless to any fan who already has the CD's and doesn't have DVD-A.

Shame since the packaging etc. is nice but what's the point if you don't have a DVD-A player or would like to the older discs updated?

A missed opportunity.

I am going to try and look into this a bit to see if the redbook CD has indeed been remastered or not. My understanding is that it was remastered. I'll get back to the thread when I have more info.
