A Stitch In Time...

I Really Enjoyed Puttin' Together The Cover Artwork For This One...For Some Strange Reason I'm Not Quite Sure Of?
It's Some Early R.E.M. from 1983!
It's a SBD Recording!

Stitchcraft Was The Place This Bootleg Was Recorded At In Their Hometown Of Athens, Georgia AND Stitchcraft Was a Pattern Magazine (For Makin' Clothes) From The 1930's to the 1980's...
So, It Kinda Lent Itself to a Theme...
This Bootleg Was Originally Called Windout Hootenanny and I Searched For Artwork But Couldn't Find Any & It was a Vinyl Bootleg Which I Researched at The Complete Internet R.E.M. Underground List Website:

"Windout Hootenanny"

Recorded: Stitchcraft - Athens, GA - 9/30/83
Quality:
Format: 2LP
Notes: Apparently the guy who put out 20th Century Boys on CD was originally planning to put out the 9.30.83 Stitchcraft, Athens show on LP. For whatever reason, he dropped that plan (after pressing I don't know how many copies), and decided to release the 2 "20th Century Boys" CDs...the vinyl never got a jacket.

Excellent Early Concert Filled With Their Alt.Rock Sound & a Ton Of Cover Songs As Well! (From Johnny Cash To T. Rex)
You Won't Find a Much Better Early R.E.M. Concert in Terms Of Sound Quality & Performance!
You Can CLICK On The Back Cover To View The Setlist Up Closer...
a Total of 30 Songs Packed Onto 2 CDs...
