R.E.M.がBBCに残した貴重なレコーディング、未発表ライヴなどを収録する『R.E.M. at BBC』が10月19日(金)に発売されます。8枚のCDと1枚のDVDから成るスーパー・デラックス・エディション・ボックス・セットをはじめ、CD2枚の仕様、LP2枚の仕様、デジタル・フォーマットの4形態になります。ティザー映像と「Losing My Religion(Live from Into The Night on BBC Radio 1, 1991)」が公開中。今後、アルバムからの音源が毎週公開される予定です。
DVDには、BBCでの伝説のパフォーマンスを約60分間捉えた英国BBCのみで放映されたフィルム「Accelerating Backwards」を収録。この作品が商品化されたのは初めてです。パフォーマンスだけでなく、ピーター・バック、マイク・ミルズ、マイケル・スタイプなどの赤裸々なインタビュー映像も収録しており、BBCとの長く密接な関係がうかがえる内容となっています。さらに、R.E.M.を特集した1998年の「Later….With Jools Holland」や「TOP OF THE POPS」など、テレビ出演時の映像も収録。同梱のブックレットには、BBCの担当者などがR.E.Mとの仕事を回想するエッセイが収録されます。
