R.E.M. The band caps its 31-year recording career with its firstever definitive greatest hits album, due out from Warner Bros. Records on November 15th. The 40-song retrospective-- R.E.M., PART LIES, PART HEART, PART TRUTH, PART GARBAGE, 1982 - 2011--includes tracks from both the IRS and Warner years plus three brand-new songs. R.E.M. formed in 1980 when singer Michael Stipe met guitarist Peter Buck in an Athens, GA, record store where Buck worked. After recruiting bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry, R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe," in 1981, followed by 1982's Chronic Town EP, capturing the imagination of a new generation of music lovers and bringing "guitar pop back into the underground lexicon," as All-Music put it.
