I always loved how Michael Stipe called this their "Bryan Adams album." (lol) It's one of my favorites.

This looks really interesting, particularly the Athens Demos, some of which I know sound great. Hopefully, the remaster will be an improvement on the And I Feel Fine compilation, which drastically changed the sound of songs like "Begin the Begin" for the worse.

I liked the recent "Fables" re-release, the second disc with demos was a great listen, but they kinda missed an opportunity to officially release the excellent "We Are Having A Heavenly Time" live set from Page Auditorium 9-26-84 (one of the best vinyl boots)

I only wish that they would release a "Super-Deluxe Collector's Edition" with an additional live disc, or even better a DVD of a concert from this time.

I was at both those Duke shows and they were great. I've heard in the past that they were recorded for a possible live album. If that is true, they would have made a great addition (better than the show they put with Reckoning, in my opinion) to the Fables deluxe. I really like the Athens demos they put with Fables, but if they had done a 3 (or even 4) disc set to include the Page shows, that would have been fantastic.

I'm assuming all the B-sides and such will be coming on a deluxe Dead Letter Office.

I would have much preferred a live show over the demos. I never listen to the demos of Fables. :(
