Want To Win An R.E.M. CD and DVD? Pay Attention...

Thanks to the folks at EMI Records (who are now the stewards for portions of the IRS Records catalog) we've got a little something to give away. It's a nice package, too.

The package consists of:

The 25th Anniversary reissue of R.E.M.'s Fables Of The Reconstruction, provided in a sturdy keepsake box containing two compact discs and a variety of lithographed liner-note and poster ephemera. The compact discs are:

• - The remastered Fables Of The Reconstruction album, and...
• - "The Athens Tapes", a rather snappy sounding collection of the demos R.E.M. recorded in Athens, GA before heading to London to produce the resulting album. It includes the embryonic version of "I Believe", called "Throw Those Trolls Away" that we've been playing in heavy rotation at Altrok 90.5 HD2 lately.

Plus, we'll throw in a copy of "When the Light is Mine... The Best of the I.R.S. Years 1982-1987" to fill out the prize package you'll be getting.

So how do you get your hands on this hyar little package? Well, the good news is that if you're reading this page, you're in the running...

• Sometime in the next few days, we'll post a message on this blog where to send us a note telling us you're interested the prize. In that note, we'll tell you when we'll stop accepting messages. We'll draw at random from the valid entries we receive ("valid" means you've included an email address, your name and a mailing address.) We'll announce the winner as soon as we choose one.
• Also, we'll be giving one package away if you pay attention to our Twitter, Facebook or Myspace pages. Get hooked up with those, and you'll be in the running when we give the word.
• And finally, we'll be giving one package away to our listeners - be listening when we give the go-ahead on Altrok 90.5 HD2, and you'll have another chance.

All the standard giveaway caveats apply: you can't have won anything from Altrok 90.5 HD2, 90.5 The Night or Brookdale Student Radio within the past thirty days, mechanically reproduced entries will be voided based on our sole judgement, and our decisions are final.

So, ya ready? Keep an eye on us...
