REM remastered?


Greetings. Last weekend in a cd store I found a "1999 remastered" version of Document in one of those mini-album sleeves. Had Limited Edition sticker on the oustide of plastic wrapper. Does anyone know if the entire REM back catalog has been remastered? I went through several websites (Tower, Amazon, etc). I found Limited Edition CDs of all sorts but could not find "remaster" in any of the verbage. Also, if any of you have compared the remaster to the original please include your opinions. Thanks.

Nomad, Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs did a lot of REM reissues directly from the original master. These would be the best recordings you will find.

MFSL went out of business in 99 but REM always comes up on ebay for a premium. Do a search under "REM MFSL" and you will find much of what you want.
