I can't fathom them sitting on that electric version of "Can't Hardly Wait". If they had swapped it in for "Lay it Down Clown" Tim would be the best side B of all time.

Chris's drumming really shines in this new mix!

Sounds great so far! Especially the drums sound so nice and full.

yeah, interesting how he changed the lyrics for the final version. Just saying it myself, "I wish once was me" doesn't seem to roll off the tongue so easily? maybe he also went with "pretty sure..." because it's more concise? I dunno---but I never knew of this version. Or if it someone posted this before, I forgot about it. Also, what does the baby crying mean? How are others interpreting it? Does it mean that the narrator was basically used because the woman wanted a partner just to have a baby? the baby is the only thing to make her happy and she's kicked the narrator to the curb already? I do recall reading somewhere---maybe here?---that the baby crying is actually Johnny. I dunno how true that is, but then again, given that PW disappeared for awhile when Johnny was born, where else was he going to get a soundclip of a crying baby while he was recording stuff in the basement? The baby cry sound effect adds an entirely different context to the entire song, to me.

this has probably been posted before? But I've never heard of this version of Whatever Makes You Happy I think I prefer "Whatever makes you happy I wish once was me" to the album's "...pretty sure isn't me (baby crying)"

Looks like that guy deleted his comment? Well, let's hope it's true. For me it's their peak, and while I hold that album in the highest regards, in spite of the mix, and generally am not in favor of remixes, it would be a great thing to hear. After this and DTAS/DMP, I don't think anything else in their catalog would need a remix.

Tim is the album I'd most love to hear remixed with the deluxe box treatment. Hopefully we'll hear something soon from Mehr as to whether another Mats package is coming this year. I hope "Nowhere Is My Home" is also given the remix treatment in the set!

The latest episode of Sound Opinions has a caller at the end mention a rumor about a new Paul Westerberg album making the rounds “underground.” What?!?!? (Scroll to listener calls at the very end of the show) www.soundopinions.org/show/885

With a couple of extra passes through the tracks on Marqueed Men, The Replacements Live Covers and Rarities set I've put together, I ended up going down some rabbit holes to replace lesser versions of a few tracks with better ones and then finding other awesome tracks on those same shows that had the improved versions. This led to the project quickly ballooning up to a staggering 98 tracks which now starts with 1980! Amazing job, funker !!!!

"in 2005, he released an album called Come Feel Me Tremble, which consisted of 31 tracks that were recorded in just six days." I'm missing a few tracks!

Personally I'm so glad I got to see the rebooted "Replacements" 4 times...I was a fan too late to see them in their "heyday"; they became my favorite band in 2008. I'm thankful for those four shows in 2013-2015.

Also...I can't help but think I would take nearly ANY song from these sessions over "Shooting Dirty Pool." Is it your least favorite on the original album? That's how I interpreted your post, but I know I could be wrong! Haha yeah probably...or maybe I think they had a better "stupid rocker" in them than the one we got.

Interesting that those Tommy songs didn't have Paul and Chris backing him.
Also...I can't help but think I would take nearly ANY song from these sessions over "Shooting Dirty Pool."

I gotta say...despite all the shit from Rhino with shipping and some of the cheap things thrown in for the "deluxe preorder" bundle
The actually quality of the LP and it's presentation is great!

I think this will be one of those times when there is no shipment info and it just shows up at your door. OK, I know this is complaining about "first world problems" but....has anyone rec'd the boxset WITHOUT any update to their shipment from Rhino email/UPS website? Agree with what someone's post on one of the Mats Facebook pages, Rhino needs to get their act together (also file under DUH!/Fool me once shame on you).....if your preordered direct, I feel they should ship it so you receive it ON the release date....I'm not sure about specific bundles but it seems like folks who ordered elsewhere are getting quicker. As a side note, I bought the new Prince deluxe "Sign O' The Times" boxset from Amazon on Friday and got it Sunday. Rhino should partner with Amazon for future releases... Yep I was happy to get a shipping update last Thursday with 3-day shipping listed...only to see it was just that the label was created and my bundle is still listed as "Shipment Ready for UPS" this A.M.
