2025 Charity Shop Purchases #2 - The R.E.M. Collection Disc 2 - Michael Stipe Presents ...
The second 50p charity purchase from the Kilbride Hospice shop in East Kilbride was another compilation.
It is an Uncut compilation from August 2008.It was still sealed. How can a sealed CD from 2008 end up in a charity shop in 2025? Maybe it has been there all that time and I am the only eejit that thought to buy it!
There were three such CDs at the time with selections by the band - 1- by Mike Mills, 2 by Michael Stipe and 3- by Peter Buck. Bill Berry had left the band by then saving the requirement of a fourth disc.
I already have the Mike Mills one which was right up my street and saved from going to charity. It was with a degree of trepidation that I listened to the Stipe one given that he is somewhat strange and I expected the music to be likewise.
Here is the tracklist. I wasn't that convinced after a first listen but the second time around it sounded slightly better. Not that good enough though to present it going back to charity though (once ripped of course!).
I've gone for Karen Elson who was married to Jack White from 2005 to 2013, Vic Chestnut who sadly died in 2009 and finally Leona Naess whose stepmother was Diana Ross.
I'll keep an eye out for the Peter Buck one as it looks to have some good songs on it.
