Description for R.E.M.'s Murmur (33 1/3) Paperback. The band that took US college rock across the world and turned it into stadium rock. This is their first album that kicked off their journey to stardom and remains a cult obsession to the legions of dedicated fans. Features their classic song Radio Free Europe. Series: 33 1/3. Num Pages: 128 pages. BIC Classification: AVG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 163 x 121 x 11. Weight in Grams: 158.
R.E.M.'s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album's genesis - with fascinating input from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter. He also investigates Michael Stipe's hypnotic, mysterious lyrics, and makes the case for Murmur as a work of Southern Gothic art.
