• Track Listing

"There’s never been a good rock album that’s had an apostrophe in the title," said Peter Buck. Thus, the missing apostrophe in the name of this 1986 LP; what ISN’T missing here, though, are several of R.E.M.’s most essential tracks of the ’80s: "Begin the Begin," "Fall on Me," "Just a Touch," "Cuyahoga," the Mike Mills-sung "Superman" and more. The band’s first gold record (#21 pop)! I.R.S.
