Now Available: The Replacements, PLEASED TO MEET ME

Last year, Rhino made Replacements fans very, very happy when we released the super-expanded
version of the band’s DON’T TELL A SOUL album as DEAD MAN’S POP.

Now it’s time make ‘Mats fans happy all over again: PLEASED TO MEET ME: DELUXE EDITION is now available for your purchasing pleasure.

This 55-track set offers listeners the opportunity to take a deep dive into the sessions for the band’s sophomore Sire Records release. 29 of the 55 tracks are previously-unreleased, and they include demos, outtakes, rough mixes, and – this will be of particular importance of longtime fans – the last recordings made by Bob Stinson with the band.

Rhino.com has a number of exclusive bundles available for your purchasing enjoyment, including
sets with – get this – a t-shirt, tote bag, iron-on patch, bumper sticker, placement, and a cassette
featuring a previously unreleased interview with Paul Westerberg recorded just before the release
of the album. (Needless to say, this is the top-shelf bundle, which you can find by clicking right
here.)

 
Before we go, we want to make absolutely sure that you know the full track listing of the 3/CD / 1-LP set, and lucky for you, that’s how we’re closing out...
