The Automatic Box (thing)

A four-CD box set of songs by R.E.M., released exclusively in Germany in November 1993. The object was to collect several of "R.E.M.'s other songs", the B-sides and soundtrack recordings which (for the most part) weren't available on their albums.

The CD's are all short, each one four or five tracks apiece centered around a particular theme. S'good stuff, but good luck finding a copy.
