While In Time is about as good as you're going to get with Warner era b-sides (check the iTunes music store for more b-side tracks, which are mostly live recordings, which you can also get on our torrent tracker), the IRS years have produced many more avenues for getting that odd song:

-Start with Dead Letter Office-- DLO is an official compilation of b-sides and slapstick by the band.  You also get Chronic Town if I'm not mistaken, which is by far their best IRS work besides LRP.
-The Best Of (Eponymous) has a few "rarer" tracks like Romance and a new mix of Finest Worksong from Document and Gardening at Night from CT.
-Finally, IRS did international re-releases for all their albums a few years back -- while they're pretty expensive on Amazon b/c they're imports, a bit of sleuthing in a record shop usually reveals them for around $10.  Some of the stuff is on DLO, but some of the live tracks are pretty good and were found on the singles b-sides which aren't available on CD as of yet.
-There is a new IRS Best Of and Re-releases coming out this year -- check the thread in News for more info.

Happy hunting!

It's a song originally by Mission Of Burma, R.E.M. played it on a few dates during the Green Tour and recorded a studio version for the 1989 Christmas Fan Club single
