	Dead Letter Office (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dead Letter Office is a rarities and B-sides collection by R.E.M. and released in 1987 as their fifth official album.
		The album effectively mops up many of the additional recordings R.E.M. made pre-Murmur to Lifes Rich Pageant that were outtakes or released as flip sides to their singles internationally.
		The album was initially issued as a 15-song collection on vinyl and cassette, but when its CD edition appeared (now the only available edition of Dead Letter Office), the legendary and obscure Chronic Town EP from 1982 was slotted in.

	REM Album Reviews
		The album has a perfectly understated air of mystery about it, and though not every song here is substantial (“9-9” and “West of The Fields” being the weakest links), these slightly psychedelic folk rock songs have an offbeat overall feel that’s unlike anything else in the rock spectrum.
		Dead Letter Office (I.R.S. ’87) Rating: B- Compiled by Peter Buck and aptly titled “a virtuous compost, Being a Compendium of Oddities Collared, and B-sides Compiled,” Dead Letter Office is a "for the fans" momento that you should purchase only after buying all their other I.R.S. albums.
		The album is basically comprised of a handful of brilliant pop songs surrounded by effective-if-hard-to-remember-at-first mood pieces, and it’s also notable for a couple of Mike Mills lead vocals and high profile guest appearances from KRS-One and the B52's Kate Pierson.

		The remaining 15 tracks are purely for completists and re-confirm the fact that R.E.M. are definitely an album band, and they truly put the best songs on their albums.
		Highlights include surprisingly faithful renditions of The Velvet Underground ("There She Goes Again" and "Femme Fatale") and a third that takes liberties ("Pale Blue Eyes"), as well as the band-written surf tune "White Tornado." Still, it's the quintet of tracks from "Chronic Town" that are a must-have, and the basis for this disc's five-star rating.
		I was planning on giving this album 3 stars until I noticed that this release includes R.E.M.'s 1982 EP Chronic Town.

		There is a song on the REM B-sides and cover album Dead Letter Office that goes: dreams, dream, dream, dream, dreams in Mike Stipes southern mumbled drawl.
		Maybe that song is on another REM album or by another band entirety but it reminds me of REM and I’ve got it all mixed up.
		‘dead letter office’ is one of my all time favorite albums.

		The other full-fledged new R.E.M. song on the album (1992's "Man on the Moon" is included for obvious reasons) is "This Friendly World," a trio of sorts featuring Michael Stipe, Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey), and Tony Clifton (Jim Carrey).
		Thus, the remainder of the album - Tony Clifton murdering "I Will Survive" and either Carrey or Kaufman crooning "One More Song For You" and "Rose Marie", not to mention the theme from "Taxi" - did absolutely nothing for me. For an older listener, these cuts might invoke some nostalgia, although I doubt it.
		As for the dialogue snippets that separate each song on the album, they are entirely forgettable and completely unnecessary.

	The 50 Greatest Rock & Roll Albums of All Time
		A sturdier, more durable album than Pageant, with some of their best (and hardest rocking) songs to date ("End of the World...," "Disturbance at the Heron House"); unfortunately, a few thuds later on the cd foreshadow the coming mainstreaming of the band.
		This may be the one that brought the teenyboppers and the baby boomers onto the R.E.M. bandwagon, but that's not reason not to like "Man on the Moon" and "Ignoreland." Besides, it's great background music for Sunday brunch.
		Unfortunately, it's the first R.E.M. album that, a few good songs notwithstanding, is also truly boring -- a trend amplified on everything that came later.

		Comment: I was planning on giving this album 3 stars until I noticed that this release includes R.E.M.'s 1982 EP Chronic Town.
		Dead Letter Office (released in 1987 before Document) is probably a more suitable buy for R.E.M. completest and serious fans as it is a collection of B-sides, covers, and outtakes.
		It's got to be heard to be believed as does "Walters Theme/King of the Hill." As Buck writes, "I suppose if we had any shame we would have never allowed this little gem to see the light of day." It is a fun novelty album.

		In April 1987 the band issued Dead Letter Office, a collection that featured all of the band's B-sides to that point, neatly packaged.
		In the album notes Buck describes the songs as "failed experiments, badly written songs, drunken jokes, and occasionally, a worthwhile song that didn't fit the feel of the album."
		The album featured the tracks 'Crazy', 'There She Goes Again', 'Burning Down', 'Voice Of Harold', 'Burning Hell', 'White Tornado', 'Toys In The Attic', 'Windout', 'Ages Of You', 'Pale Blue Eyes', 'Rotary Ten', 'Bandwagon', 'Femme Fatale', 'Walter's Theme', 'King Of The Road' and 'Chronic Town' EP.

	R.E.M. : Dead Letter Office (Import with Bonus Tracks) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In 1992, the British division of IRS reissued all of R.E.M. 's albums with bonus tracks that were culled from flexi-discs, fan-club singles, compilation contributions, B-sides, live tracks, and outtakes.
		Since Dead Letter Office itself was a B-sides collection and already contained Chronic Town as a bonus EP, there wasn't much room for bonus tracks on this disc.
		Nevertheless, two previously unreleased cuts were featured as bonus cuts: an acoustic version of "Gardening at Night" and "All the Right Friends," an outtake from the Reckoning sessions.

		As a compilation of rare B-sides and the first EP, this album provides an enjoyable listening experience although it may not be up there with the best of this brilliant band.
		This album is essential for all but the newest REM fans.
		I highly recommend the import version of this album (although I realize Peter Buck wasn't all that happy about the re-release with 2 extra tracks).

		Their 1995 album Jesus Freak shocked the rather staid community, which had long survived on the uber-vanilla stylings of acts like Sandi Patti and Amy Grant, and went platinum.
		DC Talk formed as a multiethnic hip-hop group during the late 80s at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, and was made up of Toby McKeehan (Toby Mac), Michael Tait (Tait), and Kevin Smith (later known as Kevin Max, upon taking on his biological parents' surname...).
		While seemingly harmless, and understandably joyful in its tone, this letter is noteworthy mostly due to the degree of moral myopia present in its content.

	Prindle Record Reviews - R.E.M. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		No wonder why this album received instant cult recognition in America, as it demonstrated that rock and pop's influences for a promising debut album can be sufficiently simple enough for mass appeal whilst being as hermetic as a strong personality.
		The album, unfortunately, ends on a sour note with "little america", which has a pretty good riff but the rest of the song just sounds half-baked and the chorus is a wretched, unmelodic mess.
		The album shows full use of their talents, going from acoustic instruments, to rock guitars, to strings, not to mention Michael's voice at his best, and then there are the lyrics.

		That was the album that persuaded me that I was going to need a new favorite band--a thought that had begun with Document and escalated with my first hearing of Stand.
		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.
		The second group of stuff are songs that were seriously considered for an album, but lost out in the final cut.

		This is a fine album for listening to while you're doing something else.
		And, rather than a bonus track, you get "Cronicle", their first EP stuck on the end, which is great because it is now unavailable in the UK (I searched for it for years to complete my REM collection!).

		Dead Letter Office, released in 1987, is a sampling of some tracks from R.E.M.'s early days.
		It was around the time I bought Dead Letter Office (in '91, I think) that I realized what a cool band I had adopted as one of my favorites.
		Dead Letter Office is worth buying for Chronic Town, the cover of Pylon's "Crazy," and for two tracks in particular.

		By some fluke, the next disc of theirs I bought was the rarities collection Dead Letter Office, which came with their first EP Chronic Town as a bonus.
		Which is not to say that Around the Sun is a bad album by any stretch of the imagination; it is, however, not a particularly exciting one.
		Around the Sun is a shiny, well-polished album, but it's not always an absorbing one -- and given this band's long history of compelling music, that's a shame.

	Dead Letter Office by R.E.M. CD
		Dead Letter Office sums up R.E.M. prior to their leaving IRS Records for Warner Bros - it is not a hits collection but rather B-sides and outtakes, including several excellent covers.
		Then there are several songs that could easily have fit on early albums, like Burning Down and Ages of You.
		Finally, there is a hilarious song called Voice of Harold which is Michael Stipe reading the album notes from a Christian gospel record to the backing track of Seven Chinese Brothers.

		That was the day the Smiths released their final studio album Strangeways, Here We Come in the United States.
		I bought the first Smiths album shortly after its release in 1984 at the age of 12, and it changed my life.
		As a lonely teenager in the rampant throes of puberty, the songs spoke to me like few ever had (or likely will) – I think if I had discovered them at a different time in my life, things would have been quite different, but as it is, the impact was immense.
