R.E.M. BINGO HAND JOB LIVE AT THE BORDERLINE RSD 2019 2xLP factory sealed! Limited release of 3,000 copies!
R.E.M. famously didn’t tour behind 1991’s breakthrough Out of Time, but the band did play a handful of largely professional shows that year, among the best-known of them being a pair of concerts in London under the nom-de-rock of Bingo Hand Job.
The second night of that March 14-15, 1991, stand at the Borderline — aided by fifth member Peter Holsapple plus Billy Bragg and Robyn Hitchcock — was heavily bootlegged at the time. And now, nearly 30 years later, R.E.M. finally is releasing it, in the form of a 2LP set to be issued for Record Store Day in April.
The album — Live at the Borderline 1991, limited to 3,000 copies in the U.S. — is getting what the band bills as “its first (and only) official release ever” on Record Store Day, which this year falls on April 13.
The 17-song set was recorded March 15, 1991, and is a largely acoustic collection featuring songs off Out of Time and earlier fare. For the concert, the band appeared under pseudonyms, with Michael Stipe as “Stinky,” Peter Buck as “Raoul,” Mike Mills as “Ophelia” and Bill Berry as “The Doc,” plus friends Spanish Charlie (Holsapple), Conrad (Bragg) and Violet (Hitchcock).
