The Replacements

3CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada / Rhino.com
4LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada / Rhino.com

Rhino's series of deluxe Replacements reissues continues with 3CD and 4LP expanded editions of the Minneapolis band's seminal 1984 Twin/Tone album cheekily titled Let It Be.  The deluxe Let It Be takes a different format than the previous reissues of Tim, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, Pleased to Meet Me, and Dead Man's Pop (an alternative presentation of Don't Tell a Soul), all of which included both vinyl and CD in one package.  This time, the formats are split into individual releases.  Both the CD and LP packages feature a remastered version of the original album with previously unreleased live and studio material - in this case, a disc's worth of rarities (including all of the bonuses on the 2008 expansion) and a live concert from 1984 in Chicago.  Rhino.com is offering an exclusive 10-inch vinyl release, Live at City Garden, as a bonus for purchasers of the 4LP vinyl box.  The six-song soundboard tape was captured in the Trenton, New Jersey club and includes the band's performance of "You're Getting Married," a request from manager Peter Jesperson for his birthday.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
