A 12" ep, R.E.M.'s Chronic Town, plays on a record deck. The record is a picture disc with an image of a gargoyle on it.

#NowPlaying - absolute bargain at the always-wonderful #AvalancheRecords today - £15 for this picture disc reissue R.E.M.'s first release, #ChronicTown. An early Christmas present to myself!

Chronic Town, REM, 1982. Their years with IRS Records were my favorite. The classic Gardening At Night is on this EP.

Carnival of Sorts (Box Cars)—R.E.M.

R.E.M.’s first EP is a bit raw and less refined than their later work, but it has a freshness and surprise to it. And Peter Buck’s smash-jangle guitar stylings are on full display.

I’ve been on a complete R.E.M. bender for the past 2 months. All the way (to Chronic Town). Then last week I saw a post saying we need R.E.M. right now. We do. We’re in #ChronicTown. No reissue, but reboot. Side A, Track 1…let’s go! (just saying…) @remhq.bsky.social @michaelstipe.bsky.social #rem

Current listening.
Inspired by a recent drawing from @retroreg.bsky.social to purchase this EP on cassette, possibly my first purchase in this format in over 25 years.

Sounds great 👍

The excitement of hearing #REM for the first time when my dad brought home #ChronicTown. Dad’s band was was also on I.R.S.

Well surely that was like 15 years ago right? Right?

Chronic Town R.E.M.

The beginning of something special
