Rhino plans four deluxe reissues from The Replacements

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 11:00 AM (EDT)

On April 22, 2008, Rhino will be reissuing four classic albums from The Replacements. The slate features Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash, Hootenanny, Stink and Let It Be.

All our albums have been completely remastered and will each feature bonus tracks. Sorry Ma will include an alternate take of "Customer," plus studio demos and outtakes. The deluxe version ends with "If Only You Were Lonely," which was previously released as the B-side of "I'm In Trouble." Stink includes a trio of session outtakes -- "Staples In Her Stomach" and covers of "Hey, Good Lookin'" and "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" -- plus Westerberg's solo home demo for "You're Getting Married."

Hootenanny will include six previously unreleased bonus tracks include an alternate version of "Treatment Bound" and a solo home demo of the lost classic "Bad Worker." Finally, one of the band's most loved albums, Let It Be will feature five unreleased bonus tracks include a home demo for "Answering Machine," a cover of The Grass Roots' "Temptation Eyes"

You can check out some selections from all four reissues via the Rhino listening party.

I love the fuck out of this band.

1) Stoked they're finally getting a decent re-release.

2) Wasn't this supposed to be a boxset?

3) Hope they include "Don't Get Married/You Got Married One Night." That song is like a stake through my heart.

4) Also hope "Who's Gonna Take Us (Alive)?" is on there somewhere.

1) Congratulations
2) No, you're thinking of REO Speedwagon
3) Stake through the heart? G-A-Y.
4) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

eazy duz it

ZombieCrush (April 8, 2008)

Matt, you are so lucky. I want a groupie that follows me around and leaves comments everytime I do. Seems like fun.

One time a dated a girl and months later found out that she kept peices of trash that I threw out in a scrap book. That was strange....but she actually seems less devoted than easyd. That guy is in love.

eazy duz it cocksucker

Little does Matt know, I have the sheets he used at my apartment handily secured in an air tight case.

They still smell like beer and Subway.

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

Dammit, I knew someone was planning on cloning me!

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

Yeah, I had a girl stalk me in college. She was some weirdo baptist I dated for like two weeks. She asked me so many times why I dumped her that typed and printed up a handy reference sheet for her future use.

She also came by my place all the time and wouldn't leave until I opened the door, leave trash all over my front stoop, and once when she wouldn't leave when I told her to repeatedly, I grabbed her by the coat collar and forcibly ejected her. (Afterwards she started telling people I assaulted her.)

Stalkers are fun.

ZombieCrush (April 8, 2008)

They do make for some great stories years later!

El_Kapitan (April 8, 2008)

Agreed, although I'm pissed I'll probably have to drop $60 to replace my otherwise-fine Restless 2002 CDs.

Matt, you're a Baltimore guy, right? You going to MLIW/Deep Sleep tonight?

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

DC, actually. Gonna have to pass - broke as fuck right now and burned out on work.

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

Also, if you're part of the MD/DC/VA axis, you should join the group we started up - http://groups.google.com/group/dc-beardpunks

It a handy tool for talking shit, swapping mp3s, and organizing show-going.

El_Kapitan (April 8, 2008)

DC BEARD PUNKS?!? Only bamas come from DC.

Yeah, I'll join up, if you can handle a Catonsvillian... ;)

baseball (April 8, 2008)

Haha, I lived in Catonsville for a while.

Wes from the beardpunks board also lives in Catonsville.

24HourPriapism (April 8, 2008)

so despite the fact that it won, Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" will NOT be used as the Mets' 2008 season 7th inning stretch song. lame.

Ah, Rick Astley. The Chuck Norris of 2008.

That is pretty weaksauce, though.

DavidM (April 8, 2008)

I'm not surprised they didn't go with it.
And it was much more than Fark organizing it, despite the article giving them all the credit.

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

Yeah, weren't some /b/tard raiders taking time off from Habbo?

baseball (April 8, 2008)

Weak. Rick Roll is one internet meme I can get behind, the video is just so fucking hilarious.

I watched it for the first time 2 nights ago and I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe at the part where the dude does the backflip off the wall.

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

In bike pants! Apparently that dude wasn't even supposed to be in the video beyond being the background bartedner, but apparently the director was like "HOLY CRAP BACKFLIPS ARE AWESOME ARE YOU FILMING THIS?" and now it's a part of history.

answering machine is such a great song.

Likely one of the most underrated bands of the last twenty years.

Also, Matt, I may be stealing your Lucero-Replacements cover suggestion (I would cite). Have a nice day.

PS: Next time she calls you when she visits VA, you should call her back to hang out!

MattRamone (April 8, 2008)

I forgot she called! And I never listen to voicemails. Sorry.

I do want to hang out with you guys again. Come on down! You'll get to meet half the regular posters on here, anyway.

6000dollarsuit (April 8, 2008)

So I was tricked... first it says "Tim" is being reissued, then it details "Let it Be"... Why not reissue both eh?

1+ Reply

El_Kapitan (April 8, 2008)

All the reissues were originally released by Twin/Tone Records, and first reissued by Restless back in '02. "Tim" was the first Sire/Reprise release. I'd guess since the Twin/Tone releases have never been truly remastered, Rhino should probably start there.

/pushes nerd glasses back onto bridge of nose

DrGunn (April 8, 2008)

oh god yes. most of these bonus tracks are on boink!!!, but still oh god yes.

TheOneTrueBill (April 8, 2008)

Booooooooooooner.

eDWeiRD (April 8, 2008)

The deluxe version ends with "If Only You Were Lonely."

It's about fucking time.

karmabad (April 8, 2008)
