From IRS Records (SP 70502), this is  CHRONIC TOWN by 

R.E.M., a beautiful 12" EP released August 24, 1982. This was 

R.E.M.'s first 12" vinyl. The Hib-Tone single was their first ever 

release on wax. Jacket is about EX or better showing heavy-duty, 

clear tape along seams and spine; the tape seems professionally applied.

Back surface of jacket shows minor shelf wear at top (please study 

photos carefully and message with questions). The wax appears MINT

and play grades about same. Nice collector's copy. This EP gets our 

highest, most passionate recommendation.

Wherever possible we house our vinyl in Mobile Fidelity Sound

Lab inner sleeves for the ultimate in protection; we use 6-mil

outer sleeves or polyester both being the finest protection 

available for LP jackets.

These we offer FREE to all our customers!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not 

helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht 

or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, 

you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get 

his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay 

a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers 

are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make 

happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.

Thoughts for today:

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most 

important of all the lessons of history.

                                           --- Aldous Huxley (1895-1963)

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they arm themselves against wonder. 

                                           --- Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
