R.E.M.'s Reckoning Gets Reissue Treatment

On June 23 (thanks/apologies, commenters!), The Athens, Ga. royalty of R.E.M. are celebrating their 25th anniversary in style and reissuing a two-CD deluxe edition of their second album, Reckoning, with a bonus live disc from their famed 1984 Chicago Aragon Ballroom concert.

The live bonus disc chronicles the band's July 7, 1984 performance during their Little America tour that was broadcast on WXRT. On the live album, the group performs eight of Reckoning's 10 songs, "Gardening at Night" from 1982's Chronic Town EP, "Radio Free Europe," "9-9" and "Sitting Still" from Murmur, and others.
