Rapid Eye Movement presents: REM-26 40 WATT CLUB, ATHENS, USA 5/30/80 

CAVEAT EMPTOR: 
This recording has been heavily processed using soundforge to restore left channel volume, boost volume levels and where possible edit song transitions smoothly. It has been retracked to conform with the recently researched setlist details that place the date of this show as May 30th 1980. Track 8 has unfortunate sound erosion between 0:19 and 0:36 probably due to deterioration on the master tape. Track 14 cuts off after 2:56. Other fade outs and fade ins are noticeable but as this tape source lay unnoticed in a box for the best part of 25 years it is remarkable how good the sound quality is.

Tracks 15-22 were previously released as part of REM-08, however this source is far better quality and as it was recorded 6 days after the 40 Watt show it's the perfect companion.
