Free Music Notes for And I Feel Fine... The Best of The I.R.S. Years 1982-1987

Free Music Review: Pick of Dreams
Hit: 5 Stars

And we should all feel fine after the release of the very best of their early years. Generosity and thoughtfulness come to the fore for the selection and scope of this fine selection. Now 'Eponymous' and 'Singles' seem imperfect I.R.S. collections in comparison. There are the hits we have come to know and love, like "Radio Free Europe," "Fall on Me," and "The One I Love," but, then, there's aptly picked excellence with "Welcome to the Occupation," "Feel Gravity's Pull," and "Cuyahoga". The second disc unearths some archival gems, so it isn't all familiar. Just like the Warner collection, 'In Time,' 'Best of I.R.S. Years' gets it right in format and selection.

(The collector's edition [not here] is worth the extra money, for it digs up some fine live versions, adds archival alternative versions, and adds some songs never released before. While not all of it is great, the new songs are engaging enough to add to an R.E.M. fan's "must have" status, and the archives at least do more than go through the motions of a remake.)

The Best of the I.R.S. Years Video Collection


The songs collected on And I Feel Fine... The Best of The I.R.S. Years 1982-1987 are just good enough to render the previous I.R.S. years collection, 1998's Eponymous, officially dead. The latter was likely the way the masses heard R.E.M.'s underground hits on CD the first time--after all, the band had just come off of their apocalyptic breakthrough single ("It's the end of the world...") and CD players were finally hitting below the $400 mark. It did the trick. We all got up to date and it paved the way for a more sonic R.E.M. to grow into the phenomena they've become. This new version is a welcome history re-write as it pulls more from Murmur and Reckoning days and does a far better job at telling the early story--owing a great deal to the photos and in-depth notes from Anthony DeCurtis.

Four our money it's worth $2 to buy the "Collectors Edition" for the massive collection of rarities on disc 2. The DVD companion to this CD is a visual goldmine. -- Peter Hilgendorf
