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.

I think "Document" was the only remaster done by their label. Other than that, Metaphysics is right...Mobile Fidelity released "Murmer" and "Reckoning" on CD and 200 gram vinyl. They're fairly easy to find...apparently there wasn't a huge audiophile demand for REM...so don't pay too much. I honestly think they usually sell for less than their original retail price.
