Replacements Rerereissues On the Way


My favourite band ever, The Replacements' first three albums and an EP will be reissued yet again this spring. This time though, the good people at Rhino Records are doing it right. Remastered and finally expanded these releases mark a long awaited upgrade of the seminal band's early works, "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash," "Stink," "Hootenanny" and "Let It Be".

Originally released on the band's hometown label, Minneapolis’
Twin/Tone Records , the albums were prepped for reissue by former Replacements manager Peter Jesperson, with involvement from the surviving band members.

The goods will arrive April 22nd and I know I can’t hardly wait. (Let it Be, one of my top five of all time.) Later this year, Rhino will continue the reissue campaign with expanded editions of the Replacements' Sire catalog: "Tim," "Pleased To Meet Me," "Don't Tell a Soul" and "All Shook Down."

While you’re listening to your fancy pants remasters go read
