I just find myself staring at the cover of that new box! I can't (hardly) wait to have it in my hands. Just an incredible snapshot in time.

Cannot wait to hear this puppy in full. Those snippets sound fantastic. Yes, they do. I have always felt that out of all of the albums, Tim was the one that demanded a re-mix from scratch, and the samples do not disappoint; not just the added missing elements, but the overall sonics, as if a thick layer of dirt and grime has been cleaned off. It seems Tommy Stinson is the one willing to do press on this release, no surprise since he is the one most involved in the music industry. This Spin Magazine interview covers familiar ground, but I found this quote interesting: www.spin.com/2023/08/the-replacements-tim-expanded-edition/ " I just think what the Replacements were to both of us is probably different. I have nothing but respect and love and reverence for it. I’ve gotten on in life enough to where I don’t hold onto any of the bad memories. It’s amazing to me that we left a pretty good mark on the music history of rock’n’roll, in our own way. I think that’s pretty cool. Not a lot of people get to do that, and I’m pretty grateful we had a chance to.”Don't miss an additional Tommy link in the above link on his 5 Albums he cannot live without. A couple of them kinda surprised me.

Just got an email from Rhino this morning, my order was shipped today, received a UPS tracking number, it is set to deliver this Friday. Dang, I'm jealous. Ordered mine on 8/2/23, no tracking info yet, still says "in progress".

Aside: Back in ‘85, what were some of the alterate titles considered for Tim? I recall Whistler’s Mammy. Was Let It Bleed another? After naming the previous LP, Let it Be, to take the piss out of Peter Jesperson’s Beatles worship, the band joked that they should name the next one Let it Bleed.

Imagine my surprise when the mailman left this on my doorstep a couple of minutes ago. A day early too! All of my previous Rhino pre-orders have arrived late, perhaps they're getting their act together. But, I didn't receive the rest of the stuff, t-shirt, coffee mug etc...

That Rhino video says "available to view for a limited time" - someone please download it before it's arbitrarily taken away! If indeed that's what that means. I can try tomorrow.

Got a reply from Rhino regarding the missing portions of my order. Geez they are just plain terrible about putting out packages on time.

I apologize again for the delay and thank you for your patience.

Here is the documentary of the re mixing. Pretty cool, look for Westerberg's isolated vocals Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=opwFHzWjD2QLooks like they're made the video private, wish I'd downloaded it before I went to bed last night.

Good god the guitar licks just weaving their way. Mr. Stasium did the boys right.

God, I love this band.
An amazing new mix. Hands done the best this record, and Paul, has ever sounded.
Nowhere Is My Home (1st Alt) is super clean, and a stand out this morning.
Bring on Hootenanny!

Damn, what a shame, I didn't think they would pull it so soon. Hope they put it back up, at least on their Rhino site. But is was an interesting and fun video, Stasium was playing back iso tracks of Westerberg's vocals, some backing vocals, including Alex Chilton's on Left of the Dial. And I'm waiting for delivery today of my package.

Cool article, thanks. I would pay five dollars to see Westerberg's face when he reads the part about him having "matinee-idol looks."
