Warner's catalog to be reissued with bonus discs, unreleased video

R.E.M. will reissue their entire Warner Bros. catalog on Feb. 15, with each two-disc set including the original album and a bonus DVD featuring the record remixed in 5.1 surround sound, as well as unreleased documentary and video footage. Read more about it here.

According to a friend who has known the band since the early days and who talked to Michael after the Denver show, after their performance Friday in Mexico City, he'll be going to L.A. to do more press, so expect some more media attention in the coming weeks.
