R.E.M.’s Isolated Drums, Guitars And Bass For “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It”

R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” appeared on their 1987 album Document, the 1988 compilation Eponymous, and the 2006 compilation And I Feel Fine… The Best of the I.R.S Years 1982–1987. It was released as a single in November 1987, reaching No. 69 in the US Billboard Hot 100 and later reaching No. 39 in the UK singles chart on its re-release in December 1991.

Before the supposed Mayan apocalypse on December 21, 2012, sales for the song jumped from 3,000 to 19,000 copies for the week. A radio station in Calgary, Canada (CFEX x92.9 FM) on December 21, 2012 played the song 156 times in a row back to back to coincide with the Mayan apocalypse event.

City And Colour’s “If I Should Go Before You” To Be Released October 9
 If I Should Go Before You, the new album from world-renowned singer, songwriter and performer City and Colour (aka Dallas Green), will be released October 9 on Dine Alone Records. In advance of the release, Zane Lowe recently premiered the lead track, “Woman,” on Beats 1. The song can be heard/shared HERE and purchased at iTunes.
The new album will be available for pre-order starting this Friday, July 24. Those who pre-order via iTunes will receive an immediate download of “Woman.” A fan pre-order will also be available the same day as of 10:00 a.m. EDT on www.cityandcolour.com featuring limited edition colored vinyl along with other unique items. For those that prefer to shop at record stores, a vinyl pre-order will be available in September, including a bonus 12” that fans will receive instantly upon order. Additional details to be announced.
After performing countless sold-out shows worldwide, City and Colour will embark on an extensive U.S. tour this fall, including dates at L.A.’s Hollywood Palladium and NYC’s Terminal 5. Tickets will be available for presale at www.cityandcolour.com, beginning today, Monday, July 20 at 2:00 p.m. local time, followed by a general public on-sale Friday, July 24 at 12:00 p.m. local time. American Express Card Members can also purchase tickets before the general public beginning Monday, July 20 at 2:00 p.m. local time through Thursday, July 23 at 10:00 p.m. local time, in select markets. See below for complete details. Other upcoming dates, including a stop in St. John’s, NL are listed below.
Recorded at Nashville, Tennessee’s Blackbird Studios, If I Should Go Before You was produced by Green with additional production and engineering by Karl “Horse” Bareham. Unique to this project, the studio players on If I Should Go Before You are made up of Green’s trusted touring band: Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Dead Weather) on bass, Dante Schwebel (Spanish Gold, Dan Auerbach) on guitar, Doug MacGregor (Constantines) on drums and Matt Kelly on pedal steel guitar and keys.
Of the album and recording process, Dallas comments, “They inspired me to want to create new music, just to create it with them—I don’t think I wrote these songs for the band, per se, but I certainly wrote them because of the band.” He goes on to add, “Anybody who has seen us play will understand that this is the best representation of what we do live that we have ever recorded. I was so excited about being able to make and record an album with these guys that it just flowed. I felt so confident about their abilities to make all of my ideas come true.”
If I Should Go Before You is Green’s fifth release as City and Colour and follows 2013’s The Hurry and The Harm, which received widespread critical and commercial praise. The album debuted at #1 on Canada’s Top 200 Chart, #16 in the U.S., #4 in Australia, #32 in the U.K., and #83 in Germany—all career highs.
Most recently, in 2014, Green collaborated with international superstar Alecia Moore (aka P!nk) on a new project, entitled You+Me. The duo’s acclaimed debut, rose ave., debuted at #4 on the U.S. Top 200 Chart, #1 in Canada, #2 in Australia and #6 in Germany. Of the music, The Huffington Post praised, “While such prominent voices rarely mix too seamlessly, Green and Moore were destined to harmonize together,” while Entertainment Weekly declared, “The harmonies on the album are absolutely beautiful.”

Rarely-Seen Genesis 1978 Doc “Three Dates With Genesis”

“I remember we were once described by an East Grinstead local paper as a ‘folk-blues-jazz-rock-mystical group.’” – Mike Rutherford

A further blast from the band’s past has also surfaced in the shape of the 1978 BBC “On The Road” documentary sometimes referred to as “Three Dates With Genesis”. This was the only documentary that the BBC ever made about Genesis during all of the period which saw their rise to fame around the time of the And Then There Were Three…album. The documentary takes a behind the scenes look at the European leg of the massive And Then There Were Three tour including rare clips from the gigs at Mannheim, Leiden and Knebworth Park.
