Notes: R.E.M.'s demo tape for RCA Records and third overall produced by Kurt Munkacsi. Several of the tracks listed had been recorded prior for their first EP, Chronic Town, but the rest didn't see release until their debut LP, and in one case, a film soundtrack 5 years later. While the Chronic Town tracks don't sound too dissimilar from the EP, the remainders have many differences from the final whether that be alternate lyrics, arrangements, ect. This specific rip of the tape was sourced from a bootleg double album known as Chronic Murmurings before being transferred to a CD bootleg known as Early Movements, which these were specifically sourced from. Tracklisting and eventual album appearances for each is as follows

Notes: Transfer By: Brian Emerick This is often called "Chronic Town Roughs" or "Chronic Town Outtakes". What is here is very close to what was released officially for some of these songs. Demo Recording Session for RCA with producer Kurt Munkacsi. Extra parts added to the backing tracks recorded 1 February 1982. Tape generously loaned from Aadam Jacobs. compiled 2/09/26 by Brian Emerick (brian dot emerick at gmail dot com)
