R.E.M. - Unreleased Live LP (UM 029) [SBD]

 

R.E.M. - Unreleased Live LP

(1993 Unbelievable Music : UM 029)

Recorded for R.E.M., Fall 1984

Soundboard / FM Recordings

Encoded: FLAC & MP3@320 Kbps

Lineage: Original Silver CD > EAC > .wav > TLH > FLAC

The liner notes state: "This recording was supposed to be R.E.M.’s last album on the I.R.S. Records label. However, Michael Stipe, the band’s vocalist did not want it released" (end quote). Although this CD contains much of the same show as the boot LP "We Are Having a Heavenly Time," the CD is not mastered from the LP. For example, Stipe’s comment at the beginning of the show about having a cold is on the CD but not the LP. Also, Driver 8, originally on the LP, but which contains a mid-song sound glitch, is missing from that set here.
