5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to R.E.M.'s early days, May 12, 2003
By Helena Kilander (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
Thought R.E.M. was all about Losing My Religion and Everybody Hurts? Think again. Years before they became the biggest rock band in the world, R.E.M. were busy making some of the finest indie rock tunes around. This compilation gives you a pretty good idea of what pre-Green R.E.M. were all about, although I miss masterpieces such as Perfect Circle off Murmur and lots of stuff from one of their in my opinion best albums, Life's Rich Pageant. There isn't a bad song in this bunch of masterfully crafted tunes and die-hard R.E.M. fans will probably want to get this for the sake of the wonderful B sides. Mike Mills tongue-in-cheek take on The Clique's Superman is a true gem in the B side department, as well as the jangly version of Velvet Underground's classic There She Goes. As for the collection of singles, I have yet to comprehend why songs like So. Central Rain (in my opinion way better than Losing My Religion), Radio Free Europe, Fall On Me or The One I Love didn't take them to super stardom years before Losing My Religion and Shiny Happy People. This will, I guess, remain one of life's greatest unsolved mysteries. Anyway, if you want to get into R.E.M. this is a terrific place to start. You will, however, have no other choice than to go out and get their entire back catalogue after you've listened through this highly accomplished collection of songs. This CD will have you longing for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of early R.e.m., December 9, 2003
By Mike Chadwick (Gdynia,Poland) - See all my reviews
"Singles collected" is valuable collection of all irs company years hits along with precious rare b-sides.
The one i love","It's the end of the world","finest worksong" are all here along with less known songs like dark "Crazy",rocking "White tornado" or cheerfull "Bandwagoon".
great collection for everyone who wants to know the history of R.e.m.booklet notes are interesting too.

5.0 out of 5 stars good collection of REM early material, October 24, 2003
By Neel Aroon "jaroon7648" (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
REM's Singles Collection provides a pretty good collection of REM material from their IRS days starting from early stuff such as radio free europe and south central rain to later material such as one i love and it's the end of the world as we know it.

It's great to hear their early material but too many of the songs are edits like rockville and can't get there from here. I wish they had put the full length songs on the album.
