R.E.M. - Automatic for the People (25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) (1992/2017)

R.E.M. will mark the 25th anniversary of their widely successful eighth studio album, Automatic for the People, with a deluxe reissue. It’s the latest archival release from R.E.M., who previously served up anniversary reissues for the seven albums put out prior to Automatic, including last year’s repacking of Out of Time.

Coming November 10th from Craft Recordings, the Automatic 25th anniversary reissue features the album freshly mixed by original producer Scott Litt and engineer Clif Norrellin in the new Dolby Atmos format. This will be the first commercially available music mixed in Atmos, an expansive format that promises to “[transport] the listener inside the recording studio with multi-dimensional audio.”

The Deluxe Edition also includes a bonus disc of 20 never-before-heard demos from the Automatic sessions, including the mythical lost track, “Devil Rides Backwards”, and the unreleased recording, “Mike’s Pop Song”.
