R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe 

Limited Edition 10" Orange Vinyl

THIS IS A PRE ORDER: RELEASE DATE: 17th October 2025

Four decades after it lit up college radio and launched R.E.M.’s remarkable career, “Radio Free Europe” is sending out a brand-new signal. The Radio Free Europe 2025 EP is available as a limited-edition 10-inch orange vinyl.

Overseen by original producer Mitch Easter, who mixed the band's very first recording of “Radio Free Europe” back in 1981, the EP opens with a never-before-released 2025 remix by Jacknife Lee.

Lee, who produced R.E.M.’s final two studio albums, Accelerate and Collapse Into Now, gives the track a fresh take, while staying true to its indie-rock DNA. The 5-track set also features rarities from 1981, including the Original Hib-Tone Single mix of "Radio Free Europe," B-side "Sitting Still," plus demos “Wh. Tornado” and “Radio Free Dub.
