Replacements, Dead Man's Pop (Sire/Rhino) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The Replacements are releasing their first-ever box set.  Dead Man's Pop is a 4-CD/1-LP set reimagining their sixth album and third for Sire Records, Don't Tell a Soul. While Don't Tell a Soul remains the group's best-selling album and one of their most acclaimed, The Replacements were never fully satisfied with its sound.  Hence, Dead Man's Pop.  The first disc features a new mix by original producer Matt Wallace, based on his 1988 Paisley Park mix.  This new version, Don't Tell a Soul Redux, is presented on CD and 180-gram LP ion the box.  It's joined by a disc of unreleased tracks including a session with Tom Waits (We Know the Night: Rare & Unreleased ) and a 2-CD complete concert from June 2, 1989 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (The Complete Inconcerated Live).  Of the box's 60 tracks, 58 are previously unreleased.  Get the scoop here, and don't miss our full review soon!
