Rich B., aka Stonecutter, recorded hundreds of shows in New York in the '80s and '90s, and traded for hundreds more. Until recently, many of these have been stacked up in trays and trays of DATs and cassettes in his basement, never shared beyond a relative handful of tape trades back in the day. Through his generosity, a few of us are helping to digitize and share these hidden gems. No one can say how many of these there will be, as we haven't hit bottom yet.

I got so caught up in Stonecutter's Yo La Tengo recordings that I've been neglecting his equally excellent cassette masters from the '80s. This is an especially nice recording of a show from the Reconstruction tour, a difficult time for the band but a point when they were reaching new creative and performance heights. Here, let's listen to what the New York Times had to say about the show:

"R.E.M., the critically admired rock quartet from Athens, Ga., makes droning, astringently textured music that combines a backwoods American twang with the militant austerity of contemporary new wave music."

On second thought, maybe let's not.

Anyway, terrific versions of songs from throughout the band's first three albums, early versions of "Hyena" and "Fall on Me," and a slew of great covers. Peter Buck did not storm off in protest of anything even once. A must!
