==History==
===Formation===
At the beginning of 1980, Peter Buck met Michael Stipe at Wuxtry Records, a records store where Buck worked. Meanwhile, both Buck and Stipe met Bill Berry and Mike Mills, who were both students at the University of Georgia. The four agreed to form a band and collaborate on some songs. With no name for the band, they spent a few months rehearsing at the deconsecrated St. Mary's Episcopal Church. They played their first concert on April 5, 1980 at the same church. The band settled in of the name of R.E.M. after previously considering with the choices of Cans of Piss, Negro Eyes, and Twisted Kites.
The band members dropped out of school in an effort to focus on their tenure in music. The band met Jefferson Holt, a record store clerk in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and hired him to become their manager. R.E.M. went on a local tour that drew large crowds at some shows, which seemingly rendered some resentment for the music in Athens. For the next year and a half, the band toured the United States, which proved to be somewhat difficult due to alternative rock only rising for the music scene. The band toured in an old blue van and lived through food allowance with $2 per member a day.
===Murmur===
In 1981, R.E.M. recorded its first single, "Radio Free Europe" at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studios in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The single released three months after its recording by Hib-Tone Records. The single sold 7,000 copies and quickly topped the billboards.
On August 24, 1982, R.E.M. released an EP titled Chronic Town. Recording took place at the same studio where they recorded "Radio Free Europe". The EP included five tracks, and one song became a single which was "Gardening at Night". I.R.S. Records was responsible for the release of the EP after the band turned in some demo tapes in an effort to uproot the likelihood of having to have master recordings in the studio.
R.E.M. was preparing to develop for their first legit album and recruited producer Stephen Hague. Due to Hague's philosophy in perfectionism, the band felt unsatisfied about it. The band decided to part ways with Hague and let Mitch Easter do the producing instead. In addition, Easter brought in his producing partner Don Dixon to help join the effort.
Recording for the album took place at Reflection Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina between January 6, 1983 and February 23, 1983. The band's first studio album, Murmur was released on April 12, 1983. The album included 12 tracks, especially "Radio Free Europe" that was a single nearly two years prior. Other singles included "Talk About the Passion", "Perfect Circle", and "Sitting Still". The album received a linear and lukewarm reception due to a lack of guitar solos and synthesizers that would have provided flavor for the tracks. The album sold only 200,000 copies.
