R.E.M. may have call it quits nearly two a years ago, but that doesn’t mean that the band that revolutionized Rock and Roll in the late 80s will cease to provide their fans will new releases!

The announcement came today (March 6^th) that the currently separated group will be celebrating the 25^th anniversary of their breakthrough album Green by re-releasing a deluxe edition of the record on May 14^th.

Green, which marked R.E.M.’s 6^th studio effort, was originally released in 1988 via Warner Bros. Records and spawned hit songs such as “Orange Crush,” “Pop Song 89” and “Stand.” The album was R.E.M.’s first worldwide success, selling over 2 million records and touting the ever-important message of global consciousness that the band has become to be known for.

The anniversary release will come as a two-disc set from Rhino; the first disc being a remastered version of the original album and the second, a live set of 21 songs recorded in Greensboro, NC during R.E.M.’s 1989 Green World Tour.

Like past reissues from the band, the Green anniversary edition will come in a hard clamshell box, and also feature a foldout poster, four postcards, and unique liner notes penned by Uncut editor Allan Jones.

As if this wasn’t enough, the band has also announced that will also be releasing a limited-edition, five-track EP in celebration of Record Store Day on April 20^th. The EP will be made up of live bonus tracks that weren’t included in the Green deluxe edition, including “I Remember California” and “So. Central Rain.”
