Rhino Expands the Band's Twin/Tone Releases With Previously Unreleased Tracks for Deluxe Reissues of Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash, Stink, Hootenanny and Let It Be Available April 22 From Rhino LOS ANGELES -- This is where the legend of The Replacements begins. Rhino retraces the shambolic swath the influential Minneapolis quartet cut across the American Underground, reissuing deluxe editions of the band's Twin/Tone releases: SORRY MA, FORGOT TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH, STINK, HOOTENANNY and LET IT BE. All have been exquisitely remastered and generously embellished with rare and previously unreleased tracks. Each will be available on April 22 for a suggested list price of $18.98 except STINK, which will have a suggested list price of $11.98. These releases will be followed later this year with similar deluxe versions of The Replacements' Sire albums including Tim, Pleased To Meet Me, Don't Tell A Soul, and All Shook Down. Capturing the early years of the band's acclaimed 11-year run, these three albums and EP spotlight founding members Paul Westerberg, brothers Bob and Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars. The deluxe editions were produced by longtime Replacements manger Peter Jesperson, who also co-produced the original albums. The band was instrumental in selecting the bonus songs, many of which have never been heard -- even among the band's most ardent followers. Released in 1981, SORRY MA, FORGOT TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH was The Replacements' audacious debut. Songs such as "Takin A Ride," "Shiftless When Idle," "Customer" and "Johnny's Gonna Die" herald the band's competing tendencies toward indelible genius and bleary, drunken repugnance. The 13 bonus tracks open appropriately with the four songs Westerberg gave to Jesperson in 1980 that brought the band to Twin/Tone's attention. Also included among the previously unreleased songs is 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." Shortly after its debut, The Replacements issued the EP STINK in June 1982. The band was fast becoming Minneapolis' most exciting new group when this 15-minute adrenaline masterpiece hit the streets. In the deluxe edition liner notes, Terry Katzman writes, "Here, the band began to merge its ragged sense of honesty with true rock 'n' roll power. In essence, they had created the perfect monster -- a rock band with real guts, humor, and humility." All previously unreleased, the four bonus tracks featured here include 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." Bursting at the seams with ideas and inspiration, HOOTENANNY found the band heading in several new directions. Released in April 1983, the album included two enduring classics, "Color Me Impressed" and "Within Your Reach," along with the pseudo-surf rock of "Buck Hill," the brooding "Willpower" and "Mr. Whirly," a paean to alcohol-induced bed spins. The six previously unreleased bonus tracks include an alternate version of "Treatment Bound" and a solo home demo of the lost classic "Bad Worker." Also featured among the bonus material is "Lookin' For Ya." The song was originally issued on Trackin' Up The North, a talent search contest compilation released by radio station KQDS. LET IT BE rounds out the deluxe reissues. Released in 1984, the 33-minute masterpiece was recently named the #3 Greatest Indie-Rock Album Ever by Blender Magazine. The album presents some of the band's strongest songs, including the album opener "I Will Dare," "Androgynous," "Sixteen Blue" and the poignant "Unsatisfied." The five unreleased bonus tracks include a home demo for "Answering Machine," a cover of The Grass Roots' "Temptation Eyes" and an alternate "Sixteen Blue" with the same instrumental track as the album but with an early vocal take and different lyrics. The bonus material also includes a cover of T. Rex's "20th Century Boy," which was originally issued on the 12" maxi-single for "I Will Dare." ************** The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.

I'm In Trouble 2. Can't Hardly Wait 3. I'll Be You http://colormeimpressednews.blogspot.com/ Tuesday, February 12, 2008 Mats Reissues - "No Shit" More Mats reissue coverage: HARP MAGAZINE: Although Restless reissued the Replacements' four Twin/Tone albums in 2002 as remastered CDs, at the time fans were left scratching their heads wondering why the label didn't go the extra nine yards and include bonus tracks and fresh liner notes. The band has certainly been bootlegged enough over the years to make it clear that a lot of material was still left in the vaults (admittedly, most of it was definitely cutting room floor quality; what appeared on those 'mats records was the best stuff). Now, with interest in the band recently refreshed thanks to the publication last year of Jim Walsh's oral history All Over But The Shouting (see our review and author interview in the November 2007 HARP), Rhino has announced plans to serve up expanded reissues of "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash," "Stink," "Hootenanny" and "Let It Be" on April 22. See below for the complete track listings. And meanwhile, you can look forward to the band's Sire era getting the Rhino treatment later on this year. No word yet, however, on whether or not the band's amazing "official bootleg" The Shit Hits the Fans will also resurface, or for that matter the pristine Inconcerated radio broadcast disc... Posted by Buck Hill at 4:04 PM 0 comments EXPANDED Rhino Reissues Due In April !!! Long-Awaited Replacements Reissues Due In April (billboard.com) The Replacements' first three albums and an EP will be reissued in remastered, expanded form this spring, completing a long awaited upgrade of the seminal band's early work. "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash," "Stink," "Hootenanny" and "Let It Be" will arrive April 22 via Rhino, Billboard.com can reveal. Originally released on the band's hometown label, Twin/Tone, the albums were prepped for reissue by Replacements manager Peter Jesperson, with involvement from the surviving band members. The Replacements' debut, 1981's "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash," introduced its lovably shambling rock style via tracks like "Shiftless When Idle," "Takin a Ride" and "Johnny's Gonna Die." Bonus material includes frontman Paul Westerberg's original four-song demo from 1980, several outtakes and the B-side "If Only You Were Lonely." The EP "Stink" followed in 1982, tearing through eight songs in 15 minutes. The four bonus tracks on the new edition are all previously unreleased: the outtakes "Staples in Her Stomach," "Hey, Good Lookin'" and "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock," plus a Westerberg home demo of "You're Getting Married." The Replacements' sophomore album, "Hootenanny," arrived in April 1983, further cementing its status as one of the most exciting new rock bands in America on the strength of songs such as "Within Your Reach" and "Color Me Impressed." Rhino's new edition boasts six previously unreleased tracks, including a demo of "Bad Worker" and an alternate take of "Treatment Bound." Rhino's final reissue in this batch, "Let It Be," is regarded by many as the Replacements' best album. The 1984 release boasts indelible tracks such as "Unsatisfied," "I Will Dare" and "Androgynous"; it is here bolstered by an alternate version of "Sixteen Blue," the home demo for "Answering Machine" and covers of the Grass Roots' "Temptation Eyes" and T. Rex's "20th Century Boy." Later this year, Rhino will continue the reissue campaign with expanded editions of the Replacements' Sire catalog: "Tim," "Pleased To Meet Me," "Don't Tell a Soul" and "All Shook Down."
