Chronic Town
LP (Item 567623) IRS, 1982 — Condition: Near Mint-
A crucial debut release from REM – a set that's only an EP, but which broke onto the scene with more power than most of the full albums of the time – and which really set the stage for new changes on the American scene to come! The record could arguably be called the beginning of a new voice in US music – one that wasn't just tied to the punk or new wave ripples of the time – as the group were unabashedly non-quirky, warmly acoustic at points, and not afraid to come up with warmly personal material that seems to bridge generations. They'd only follow this set with more greatness on the next two records – but here's the start, with five great cuts that include "1,000,000", "Stumble", "Wolves,Lower", "Gardening At Night", and "Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars)". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
