By: Jen Balboa - 6 years ago

On Oct. 19, American rock band R.E.M. will release a bumper box set compiling 20 years of concerts, performances and interviews for the BBC.

The “super-deluxe” edition of the “R.E.M. at the BBC” box set will include eight CDs and a DVD. Highlights include the band’s 1999 headline Glastonbury Festival performance, as well as the “Accelerating Backwards” documentary.

The box set will also land in a more streamlined two-CD or two-LP edition.

All three sets are out Oct. 19 and can be pre-ordered on the band’s website. JB
