(Stein and the band were party to an infamous record company bash in Memphis in 1986 in the run-up to Pleased to Meet Me.) The band finally found a kindred spirit in Sire Records, whose head honcho Seymour Stein was content to let them work as they wanted. But Twin/Tone's shaky distribution and the band's own finances made it hard to stay afloat Bob Stinson was moonlighting in a pizzeria when not recording or touring. Critics and a devoted fan base admired The Replacements' work on the indie Twin/Tone label - an urgent push/pull of singer/frontman Paul Westerberg's inspired songcraft and the thrashing style of guitarist Bob Stinson, his brother Tommy on bass (who'd turn 19 a month after Tim's release) and drummer Chris Mars. Tim was a crucial transition of sorts for the band. (Stasium, of course, produced or engineered six Ramones albums between 19, and also engineered the debut album by Talking Heads.) Additional bonus material includes a disc of mostly unreleased studio rarities, largely drawn from a session with Big Star frontman Alex Chilton and a previously unreleased live set from the group's 1986 tour, taken from a soundboard recording. The set will feature two editions of the album: a new remaster and a new remix by Ed Stasium, issued as a corrective to the original album's mix as done by album producer Tommy Erdelyi - better known as Tommy Ramone. The 4CD/1LP box set will hit stores on September 22. The Replacements have teamed up with Rhino for their fourth mega-box set edition of a classic album from their catalogue.Īfter heavy-duty expansions of debut Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, Pleased to Meet Me and a reorganized version of Don't Tell a Soul called Dead Man's Pop, the Minneapolis punk legends have announced the "Let It Bleed" edition of Tim, their first album for a major label and their last featuring the original band lineup.
