R.E.M. and MTV have partnered to release a six-DVD set titled REMTV on November 24th.  The set compiles R.E.M.'s performances from MTV & VH1 spanning 1983 through 2008 -- MTV Unplugged sessions, VH1 Storytellers, VMA appearances, plus R.E.M.'s 2007 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction -- along with rare live performances which aired on MTV Europe (taped at Viacom sponsored European festivals such as Rock Am Ring and Oxegen).  Additionally, the collection includes new documentary chronicling R.E.M. and MTV's history directed by Alexander Young.

Bertis Downs, R.E.M.'s longtime manager on REMTV

"It occurred to us that there's all this footage of some of the band's absolute career highlights sitting in some MTV vaults in London and New York-- and thanks to a lot of effort and digging and arranging, this is our chance to share that music with various generations of R.E.M. fans in a pretty unique release." 

Viacom Music's Bill Flanagan:

"I don't think anyone realized just how much terrific R.E.M. footage we were sitting on. To gather the best of it in one collection is pretty overwhelming. R.E.M. started great, stayed great and ended great – here's the evidence."

Those who pre-order REMTV through R.E.M.'s store receive a bonus instant download code for R.E.M.'s 2003 MTV Sonic Show in Milan, Italy (mono recording, not included in REMTV set). Take a look at the tracklisting and pre-order REMTV here. Also be sure to check out a vintage clip of MTV's Nina Blackwood interviewing Peter Buck & Mike Mills below.
