Notes: + 06th june 80 show The Tyrone's show was the first ever R.E.M. bootleg to be released and was recorded from the soundboard on the club's 4 track recorder, hence the remarkable excellence of the sound quality.However, it does suffer from some fluctuations in volume and frequency levels most noticeably on "Steppin' Stone" and "Permanent Vacation" but the energy of the performance is what counts and this show captures those early garage days wonderfully. The Wuxtry Records tracks are taken from a pre-show practice session recorded on video by Dan Watts on the afternoon of the band's Atlanta debut at The Warehouse. This is the earliest known recording of R.E.M. just 2 months and 1 day after their first ever gig, and is sourced from the video so it's very rough and compressed. It has been processed through Soundforge to improve the stereo image in terms of balance, volume and EQ. It hasn't been de-noised because that would eliminate what little top end exists so there is noticable hiss. Only mid-range and top end frequencies have been processed so the vocals and guitar are now legible. This is as good as I could get it folks, believe me the source sounds like thick mud in a wind tunnel. In terms of historical importance both of these recordings are as Mr.Stipe would say "a must".

Notes: R.E.M. Tyrone's O.C. Athens, Georgia October 4, 1980 lineage: presumed first generation cassette (source of 20th Century Boys Vol. 2 CD) > Nakamichi CR-7A azimuth-adjusted transfer (Feb 2008) > Peak 5.2 > FLAC 01 Just a Touch 02 Nervous Breakdown 03 A Girl Like You 04 Dangerous TImes 05 There She Goes Again 06 I Can Only Give You Everything 07 All the Right Friends 08 (Don't Go Back To) Rockville 09 Body Count 10 Hippy Hippy Shake 11 Action 12 Narrator 13 Hey Hey Nadine 14 Gardening at Night (cut at end) 15 Scheherazade 16 Lisa Says 17 Mystery to Me 18 Stepping Stone 19 Permanent Vacation > (.5 second of Route 66 intro) "Bodycount 1980" or so reads the cassette case of what remains one of the best extant R.E.M. live sets from the very early days. This recording first appeared on the vinyl bootleg Bodycount at Tyrone's and later on the famous CD bootleg 20th Century Boys Vol. 2. The original cassette used as the source for 20th Century Boys fell into JEMS' collective lap a while back and to the best of my knowledge this recording has never circulated directly from the tape source (meaning all known copies are derived from the above bootlegs). I call it a "presumed first generation" based on the fact that side two of the tape contains another artist recorded in 1989. I have good reasons (that are not appropriate to share here) to believe both recordings were dubbed from the masters to this cassette by the original taper. The order of the tracks listed above is how they appear on the tape, which is hand-labeled with several of the incorrect titles that first appeared on the bootlegs (e.g. "Narrator" is called "Jaque (sic) Cousteau"; "All the Right Friends" is called "Party Girl"). The track list differs from what's noted at the indispensable setlist resource REMTimeline.com (which has "Nervous Breakdown" first and "Just a Touch" second). The site also lists the set closing with "Gloria-Shakin' All Over-Respect" and "White Tornado," but those tracks aren't on the cassette. The handwritten set list on the cassette case says "Route 66" is the last song after "Permanent Vacation", but only a fragment of the intro (literally someone saying "Route..." before it cuts) survives the recording. The 20th Century Boys Vol. 2 CD omits "Nervous Breakdown" for some odd reason, but it is on this tape in the order noted. Close listening to the tape reveals several cuts and stops so it is difficult to say if this order is accurate or even if all the tracks come from the same show (REMChronicle.com says "Stepping Stone" is from another unknown source). However, sonically they do sound like they come from the same show and the cassette is noted accurately below the set list as "Tyrone's O.C. 10/4/1980." Regardless, I do believe it is the best version of the recording to surface to date and it is two minutes and one song longer than the 20th Century Boys Vol. 2 CD. There are some audio defects, especially in the first 10 minutes or so. Some sound like PA issues; others sound like tape noises. Given that the other side of the tape plays through perfectly, I believe the tape noises must have effected the master when it was being dubbed. The 20th Century Boys Vol. 2 CD has the same flaws. Beyond all of the above, this is an amazing piece of R.E.M. history as the earliest known recording. And the few minor defects aside it sounds fantastic. I did no mastering other than to raise levels. The recording is mono, but presented dual channel as it was on the cassette. Samples provided. Butterking for JEMS

Notes: "20th Century Boys Vol. 2". On same disc as the rest of 09/30/83 (the second encore, picking up right where Volume 1 left off). Unfortunately, this silver only has the portion between Just A Touch and Permanent Vacation. Great soundboard with excellent sound though (the mix is actually a bit better than the 09/30/83 show). This whole set is a goldmine for fans of the band's early years.
