@deweypug And by Marty Piper-Loog of The Church!!!!

@signeponge Radio Free Europe was released as a single in '81, I believe. It originally had Telecaster, too.
-
@desasterz Not as much as you think.
-
@desasterz Try the opposite...
-
@desasterz You mean Johnny Marr was probably inspired by Peter Buck...
-
Anyone here at YT should look up the first tv performance of REM on the Dave Letterman Show. TIS GREAT!

I love the Rickenbacker's :D

Good job! I am REM's number 2 fan and critical of anyone else who plays their music but you nailed it man!

Hi
I saw these guys for three consecutive nights shortly after the channel 4 Tube appearence. You have really nailed mikes bass sound from this period. May I ask what amp you used for this recording and more importantly what settings. Cheers Mike (Not Mills)

@mikebungo1 - sorry, it was 2.5 years ago so I can't remember. I don't own any amps, it would all be plugins. In fact this may be direct injected, some compression and no amp emulator, it's a very clean sound, similar to much of Murmur.

Except that this record came out in 1981 before the Smiths existed.

@danielearwicker: It actually came out in 1983, but the first Smiths album is from 1984, so it really doesn't matter. Great performance, btw.

@signeponge - thanks. For anyone else still unsure about when this song was first released as REM's debut single on Hib Tone records, you can google for: REM Radio Free Europe 1981.
