R.E.M. 6/6/80 Wuxtry Records Atlanta Demo Part 2 

I was at the Memorial Hall gig (I think their 3rd public performance) and they already had it. I mean, they seriously shook the place down, and they just kept getting better and better.

It's amazing how tight they sounded just 2 months into being a band. Much thanks for putting these up Chout.

REM plays rockabilly on this early demo....TGIF and crank it up, baby!

Interesting to see how Just a Touch translated from these early days into the Lifes Rich Pageant style.

Fantastic to hear once again the version of Narrator I had on a tape from a friend, which I thought was the same as the Bodycount at Tyrones one. Until I actually HEARD the Bodycount version, which is great but not the same! :-)

Tenemos tanto que escuchar Tenemos mucho que anhelar Nos queda Lo mejor ..rem

Need to find this bootleg, this brings back so many memories.

There is a vinyl bootleg of a 1981 show/party, and they play all these early rockin' kind of never-released originals, and it's louder and faster than these demos even. Great stuff!

@WickedWings07 You are welcome! Freshly transferred off my newly acquired LP copy of Chronic Murmurings.

Narrator was always one of my faves in the early days.

This session is now known to be July 1980, N. Jackson St Rehersal Studio, Athens GA.

@EricD There are quite a few, my favorite being Georgia Peaches Ripe! I have a couple sides of it up here somewhere.

Stipe had to shoot the guys with a rhino tranq to get them to slow TF down
