R.E.M. Greatest Hits Cover. Warner Bros. Records
After 31 years together, R.E.M. has broken up. What do you do after a break up? Release a greatest hits package.
If that is really the official cover of the upcoming 2 cd greatest hits spanning 31 years, the fans really are getting screwed.
R.E.M. will release Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982 – 2011, on Warner Bros. Records on November 15th, 2011.

Posted at 03:44h, 30 SeptemberScrewed? Nah, I doubt that, I think people who are really in to the band R.E.M. would like the cover. It’s sort of “old school”-R.E.M.
I’d imagine, that if Prince himself made a greatest hits and the cover was purple with a little skin, R.E.M. fans could say Prince fans got screwed, but in reeality, they would be in “the know”.
