It was their last authorized release on I.R.S. Records, to whom they had been contracted since 1982, having just signed with Warner Bros. Records. ''Eponymous'' is notable for its inclusion of several rare or alternative versions of known tracks, most notably the soundtrack contribution "Romance", which had not previously appeared on an R.E.M. record. Spanning from the initial single release of "Radio Free Europe" to the previous year's breakthrough hit album ''Document'', ''Eponymous'' provides a fair overview of R.E.M.'s early work. The album features the alternate title "File Under Grain", a reference to the cover photograph. A previous album, ''Document'', had "File Under Fire" inscribed on it and ''Reckoning'', featured the words "File Under Water". On the backside of the LP cover was a photograph of singer Michael Stipe with the words "They Airbrushed My Face" above his head. Released in October 1988, just a month before R.E.M.'s Warner Bros. debut ''Green'' appeared, ''Eponymous'' reached #44 in the US and #69 in the UK. ==Track listing== All songs written by Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe: ;Side one – "Early" #"Radio Free Europe" (original Hib-Tone single) (1981) – 3:47 #"Gardening at Night" (different vocal mix)1 – 3:30 #"Talk About the Passion" (from ''Murmur'', 1983) – 3:20 #"So.
