REPLACEMENTS REVAMP THEIR FINAL FOUR

Rhino Remasters the Band's Sire Releases With Rare and Previously
Unreleased Tracks for Deluxe Reissues of Tim, Pleased To Meet Me, Don't
Tell A Soul and All Shook Down

Available September 23 From Rhino

LOS ANGELES --Rhino launched its upgrade of The Replacements' catalog to
much acclaim this spring, remastering the band's legendary Twin/Tone
canon and expanding it with rare and unreleased songs. The sonic
overhaul continues as Rhino reissues all four of the band's Sire albums,
including its 1990 swan song. On September 23, Rhino will release deluxe
editions of TIM, PLEASED TO MEET ME, DON'T TELL A SOUL and ALL SHOOK
DOWN. Each will be available at physical retail outlets and
www.rhino.com for a suggested list price of $18.98. On the same day, all
eight of this year's remastered Replacements deluxe editions, including
bonus tracks, will be available digitally for the first time at all
digital retail outlets.

Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars and brothers Tommy and Bob Stinson were
heroes of the budding alternative music scene thanks to a trio of
riotous albums they recorded in the early '80s for their hometown indie
Twin/Tone. The Replacements signed with Sire in 1985, where the band
recorded these four powerful albums before playing its last show in
Chicago on July 4, 1991.
Peter Jesperson, the band's longtime manager, served as producer for the
deluxe editions. As with the Twin/Tone reissues, the band provided
invaluable assistance by selecting the bonus tracks for these reissues
-- many of which have never been heard, even by hardcore fans.

Expectations were high for TIM (1985), The Replacements' major label
debut and follow-up to its most acclaimed album, Let It Be. The band did
not disappoint, returning with another batch of classics like "Kiss Me
On The Bus," "Left Of The Dial" and the anthemic "Bastards Of Young."
Recorded in Minneapolis, the album's 11 songs were produced by the
Ramones' founding drummer and producer, Tommy "Ramone" Erdelyi.
Westerberg says: "I can go back and listen and know that those are good
songs. Yeah, the [recordings] are a little quirky and a little
off...but, you know, a lot of the stuff that I've loved throughout my
life didn't sound perfect. And I kinda like that about Tim."  Of the six
bonus songs on the deluxe version of TIM, half are outtakes from a brief
session with Alex Chilton of Big Star, a band that had a huge influence
on The Replacements. Featured here from that session for the first time
ever on CD are "Nowhere Is My Home" and electric and acoustic versions
of "Can't Hardly Wait."

PLEASED TO MEET ME (1987) was The Replacements' first album without
founding guitarist Bob Stinson, who exited the band after the final tour
dates in support of Tim. The band, now a trio, went into a Memphis
studio with producer Jim Dickinson, a veteran session player and
producer who helmed Big Star's dark masterpiece (and 'Mats' fave),
Third. The album won rave reviews for memorable songs like "Alex
Chilton," "Skyway" and "Can't Hardly Wait," which surprised some with
Dickinson's propulsive horn and string arrangement, a truly bold musical
move at the time.

Among the 11 bonus tracks on PLEASED TO MEET ME are unreleased demos
("Birthday Gal," "Valentine," "Bundle Up") and alternate versions of
album tracks ("Can't Hardly Wait," "Alex Chilton"). A mix of covers
("Route 66," "Tossin' 'N' Turnin'") and rarities ("Election Day") rounds out the
collection.

Guitarist Slim Dunlap, who toured with The Replacements for Pleased To
Meet Me, joined the band in the studio for the first time to record
DON'T TELL A SOUL (1989). Produced by Matt Wallace and the band, the
original album featured 11 tracks, including "I'll Be You," the band's
highest charting single; and the country-rocker "Achin' To Be," a song
some critics have credited as one of the founding/defining moments of
the Americana roots music movement. The eight bonus tracks on DON'T TELL
A SOUL open with "Portland" and "Wake Up" -- both recorded in 1988 but
not released until1997 on the compilation All For Nothing/Nothing For All. Also included
is the track "Date To Church," which features Tom Waits and was
originally released as the b-side to "I'll Be You." Half of the bonus
tracks on this deluxe edition are previously unreleased, including a
cover of Slade's "Gudbuy T' Jane."

The following year, The Replacements released their final album, ALL
SHOOK DOWN (1990). The most consistently strong collection of songs in
the band's entire career, the album stands as one of the most poetic and
enduring epilogues in rock history. Produced by Scott Litt and the band,
the original album features 13 tracks, including "Someone Take the
Wheel," the eerie title track and "Sadly Beautiful," a ballad originally
written for Marianne Faithfull that became revered in The Replacements'
canon. Of the11 bonus tracks on ALL SHOOK DOWN, eight are unreleased demos for album
tracks ("Sadly Beautiful," "Nobody," "Attitude") and the non-album track
"Tiny Paper Plane." The remaining three tracks were previously issued in
1991 on the promotional EP Don't Sell Or Buy, It's Crap.
