R.E.M.'s first single gets a sharp rethink here, as onetime breakbeat
hopeful turned superproducer Jacknife Lee reworks 'Radio Free Europe'
for 2025, brightening its edges without sanding off the rawness. The 10"
EP gathers together early recordings from 1981, when Mitch Easter first
put the band to tape: the prized Hib-Tone single version of 'Radio Free
Europe', its original B-side 'Sitting Still', the minimal 'Wh. Tornado'
demo, and Easter's dubbed-out studio mix 'Radio Free Dub'. Pressed to
orange vinyl and limited in run, the release acts as a flashpoint
between the group's ragged, wiry beginnings and the high-gloss politics
of Lee's modern production. All proceeds go to Radio Free Europe/Radio
Liberty, a nod to the band's early spirit of defiance
