Page 1 of Music question re REM - In Time: The Best of REM 1988 - 2003

I want to purchase this CD, but am unsure of which version to get.

I have found 3 versions, and if you could tell me which would be the best/difference between them (follow the links), it would be much appreciated:

* Standard Version
* Euro Version
* Special Edition 2CD

:-)

DVD Profiler Collection ¦ YMDb Top 20
My Trader Feedback ¦ For Sale DVDs ¦ Wanted DVDs

Well its simple the Special Edition will cost u £5 more but u get an extra cd set of songs!
The Euro version looks the same as Standard version to me!
I bought the Standard Version just to add to my Rem Album Collection :(

Not a real Magician
BUT A DVD FAN (My DVD Collection)

huge REM fan here must say im very surprised shiny happy people wasnt on the In Time CD
(still bought it tho)

Apparently Shiny Happy People is something they wish would go away now. Probably would have made more people purchase the album that otherwise would not have, but I`m sure they don`t need the money.

Good little collection though.

How about "It`s the End of the World..."? How come that`s not on there?

"The Internet is a communication device that allows people the world over to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another."

"End of the world" was on their previous best of album. "The best of REM"

How many best of Albums do REM need. This is their 4th by my reckoning.

The new one is the best of the Warner years only - 1988-2003, see. Doesn`t count the years that they were on IRS records

There are some other glaring omissions, Drive being a major one (although there is a different version on CD2, which since i have the album version anyway is probably a good thing) and most of Monster, Crush with eyeliner, tongue etc.... but then again it`s not a singles collection is it....

btw, is there anyone who was into music in the early-mid 90`s that doesn`t own a copy of Automatic For The People? Even as a big metal fan back then (Sepultura, Pantera, RATM and a lot more obscure acts) i bought a copy....

I agree, Automatic for the People was one of my favourite albums of all time. Was REMs Dark Side of the Moon IMHO.
