REM July 1980 N. Jackson St Rehearsal Studio Athens GA Audio Only

Also known, incorrectly, as the Wuxtry Demos. this recording of some of their first tunes really cooks. Only Just A Touch survived and made it to an album. Drivin n Cryin covered Mystery To Me a few times to great effect. I really like that song. This is a repost of this show. My original post was transferred on a faulty turntable that was playing too fast. i know it's hard to tell with these early REM tapes but it WAS fast. I located a new digital source for this show and it's a better copy, anyway. Presented for historical and documentary purposes only. All rights remain with the copyright holder.
