R.E.M. reveals track listing for 31-year retrospective

Last week came word that  R.E.M.  31-year history would be tied up nearly in a bow with “Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982-2011,” but details were scant on the package.

Now we are getting the full track listing for the Nov. 15, 40-song retrospective, plus the good news that it will include three new tracks,  first single “We All Go Back To Where We Belong,” “A Month of Sundays” and “Hallelujah.” “Belong” goes to radio on Oct. 18.

The collection covers the band”s I.R.S. material, as well as its later work on Warner Bros. The Athens, Ga.-based group announced it was breaking up Sept. 21.

“Working through our music and memories from over three decades was a hell of a journey,” says bassist Mike Mills of choosing the songs that appear on “Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage.” “We realized that these songs seemed to draw a natural line under the last 31 years of our working together.”
