R.E.M. - Outtakes Of Time 1990

R.E.M., Outtakes Of Time, studio demo outtakes from the Out Of Time sessions

Another post that should be fairly self explanatory, the outtakes from the Scott Litt recorded Out Of Time sessions, although these were demo sessions rather than the actual final recording sessions. The album itself was the first huge hit from the Athens band, hitting the heady heights of No.1 in both the U.S. and U.K., and features the excellent KRS-One on the opening track to boot :) (not that he's on the bootleg sadly).

01. Radio Song

03. Texerkana
04. It's A Free World Baby
05. Here I Am Again

R.E.M. - live in Durham NC 1984

R.E.M. - We Are Having A Heavenly Time bootleg, Live at the Page Auditorium, September 26 1984

An excellent early set from the Athens band, but though this concert is soundboard sourced, it is sadly a tad out on the timing front, very noticably so at one point. Other than that this is a fine bootleg. As with the early albums Stipe's a little low in the mix on some tracks, but as it's the same on the releases it's no biggie. Including such classics as Rockville, So. Central Rain, Radio Free Europe and Driver 8 this is a must have for fans.

01. Seven Chinese Brothers
02. Catapault
03. Radio Free Europe
04. Khoetek
05. Letters Never Sent
06. So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)
07. Driver 8
08. (Don't Go Back To) Rockville
09. 1,000,000
10. Hyena
11. Old Man Kensey
12. Second Guessing
