		It was re-released as tracks 16-21 of the 1987 album Dead Letter Office, where it was described in the liner notes as "a little bit of 'uh-huh' and a lot of 'oh yeah'".

		While purists will insist on an undiluted copy of the band's 1982 Chronic Town EP, R.E.M. completists (and those who just like a lot of tracks for their money) will be grateful for the inclusion of 15 additional B-sides and curios on this 1987 compilation.
		But all that will be forgotten by the time Chronic Town's 'Wolves, Lower' kicks in, signaling the official arrival of a band that forever changed the face of Southern rock.
		Chronic Town was R.E.M.'s first EP released in 1982.

	(alternative) R.E.M. - Chronic Town - Musician Forums (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Their debut EP, Chronic Town sounds surprisingly different from, and more lively than, their first full-length, 1983's Murmur.
		Chronic Town captures R.E.M. as a fractured rock band with some melodic pop influence, and it was no doubt an influence on the Pixies some years later.
		It isn't perfect from beginning to end (and, as an EP, this is a problem), but the good easily outweights the bad and some of these songs are among the best they've ever written.

	Nude as the News: R.E.M.: Chronic Town
		Released after R.E.M.'s debut single "Radio Free Europe" and before their breakthrough debut album Murmur, Chronic Town shows the quartet bursting fully formed out of the southern underground.
		Chronic Town remains a rewarding listen 20 years after its creation, as its five songs don't really lend themselves to easy comparisons.
		A bit unassuming, but quite lovable, Chronic Town heralds the arrival of one of the greatest rock bands of the '80s and '90s.

	RollingStone.com: Murmur : R.E.M. : Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		R.E.M.'s Chronic Town EP was one of last year's more invigorating, tuneful surprises: a record from an Athens, Georgia, band that cared not a whit for the fashionable quirks of that town's dance-rock outfits like the B-52's or Pylon.
		The execution wasn't always up to the ideas–instrumentally, the band was still stumbling at times – but Chronic Town served notice that R.E.M. was an outfit to watch.
		Murmur is a darker record than Chronic Town, but this band's darkness is shot through with flashes of bright light.

		You know, the thought occurred to me the other day while I was in a used record store and came across "Chronic Town" on cassette tape.
		I think that most definitely any true die-hard fan of R.E.M. would buy it as a collector's item or for just personal enjoyment in knowing they now have all of R.E.M.'s albums on CD in their library of music.
		The people who would buy it just for the sake of having it on its own would be the rare completist, and most of those would have already pursued options like E-bay or Trading or Record Conventions.

		The CD version includes the EP Chronic Town, and I wish I could give this album 3 1/2 stars because of it.
		R.E.M. included their pre-Murmur 1982 EP "Chronic Town" with "Dead Letter Office", the 1987 B-sides compilation.
		However, the real draw here (and the main reason this is a 4 and not a 3) is that it's the easiest place to find the Chronic Town EP, presented here as bonus tracks.

		A few years later, when I met someone who worked in their offices, she said that it might have been-- if Peter had been in the office when they opened the letter.
		And when the age of CDs arose--and completists were gnashing their teeth at the idea of buying another copy of this abomination just to get everything on the new format--R.E.M. did a pretty neat thing.
		By including a copy of Chronic Town (their terrific first EP) in the package--rather than issuing it separately--they saved fans $6-8 and made the purchase seem more palatable.

		Along the way, they inspired countless bands, from the legions of jangle pop groups in the mid-'80s to scores of alternative pop groups in the '90s, who admired their slow climb to stardom.
		Chronic Town established the haunting folk and garage rock that became the band's signature sound, and over the next five years, they continued to expand their music with a series of critically acclaimed albums.
		Like the single, Chronic Town was well received, paving the way for the group's full-length debut album, 1983's Murmur.
