From the 1981 'Do Not Open' demo cassette that predated the Hib-Tone single.

Why on this earth did they leave nearly all the really stunning unreleased demos and early mixes off the deluxe "Murmur"?! I would've bought it for these sort of gems!!!

Peter Buck thought them a blight on their 'official' recorded output

My most treasured possessions in the early 80s were a couple of R.E.M. demo cassettes which I had gotten ahold of, pre-Chronic. (My brother was a booking agent at Paragon, and they'd sent them to him. He gave them to me.) Sadly, they were stolen from me in London. Actually, on the evening when I went to see them at a gig while they were there recording Fables. Would love to have a collection of all of this early stuff. Thanks chout.

The best version of this song. Deserved to be on Murmur.

Good call. I reckon they should go for an R.E.M. 1980-1987 rarities boxset to cover all the years prior to Warners!

Agreed. For some reason, I like this one better.

It’s so sad that Michael characterized these vocals as being pseudo rockabilly. I’m a derogatory way, I think these are soooooo good!
