Worth watching to see how into it Zach Blair was. Too bad everyone else was doing some goofy shtick.

Instead of Take Me Down To The Hospital it plays Nightclub Jitters twice. And you get Waitress in the Sky twice instead of Tossin and Turnin. It's streaming for anyone with Amazon Prime.

2012!? Shit. I didn't think it'd been that long. Yeah, just like Stain Yer Blood or Everything Goes Wrong, it's definitely one of those best-song-that-never-made-it-on-an-album songs.

Have we forgotten that Paul wrote Androgynous? He's been singing about social politics for a long time. good counter point! More recently, he used a kids movie to inject some wry commentary on gun control.

That's always been my favorite live video boot. I still have my original VHS.

What a weird choice. Even I had just that one record, that would be the last song I'd play.

Look at it in context and needing his wife to drive him to the Sheryl Crow show makes more sense:
However I'm arriving I won't be driving, that's for sure How clever is your jiving? I take it you'll be taking me to Sheryl Crow

Everything except the cassette songs just showed up on Amazon Music Unlimited too.

Wow, thanks for the find. I have been a fan of the band since Let It Be was released and I have never seen or heard a true sit down interview of Bob. I've heard him talk shit, scream, and banter with his bandmates on stage, but never an interview. There are radio interviews. If you look up user "bobstinsonsghost" on youtube, he's probably got them. I remember one where Bob is trying to take the questions seriously, but Paul keeps answering them with variations of, "Because we're gay."

Capitol Records might own it. It would explain why there's never been a full official release. Paul has talked about how the guy at Capitol who championed him and promised that he would put all his weight into pushing the album, left the company before the album came out. And Capitol definitely wouldn't have any reason to release it now.

What the film that was shown the 20-30-min version available online, or was this longer? The entire film is 28 minutes. It is not currently available online...only the excerpts that you see in this thread.

The full film that made the rounds on DVD-R is about 28 minutes. This is presumably from the Capitol promo. Jer mentions above that he had a copy, but I went digging and I couldn't turn up mine. I did find the Circuit DVD though, which is probably where those DailyMotion clips are from. There's also an acoustic version of Whatever Makes You Happy shot with Don Was from the Capitol promo. There was also a bit of Don Was footage of Paul at the piano in the full cut. This acoustic footage also was released on a promo-only CD-ROM series called Launch that I used to get as a Virgin Records employee:

"It was never released publicly." Sort of. Around half of it was released on the DVD magazine Circuit 1:3 with an added Timor interview that was apparently done just for the DVD, and then Capitol put the whole thing on a promo only disc. The Virgin Megastore in San Francisco played it on the in-store monitors before the solo acoustic performance in 2002. They turned the sound down when he took the stage, but continued to loop the video. You can hear him on the recordings of this show getting irritated about it. He tells them to turn it off and then says something like, "Nobody's supposed to have that." The Circuit edit is still up on DailyMotion.

I get it that CLA was just "doing his job" but IMO he ruined this song. And we didn't even realize it for 30 years. I think all of us who saw them play it live realized it. I mean, they did tour with this album, so a lot of us heard the unvarnished versions of these songs right away. I can think of a number of Mats songs that were revealed to be something greater when played live, and this happened later too, with even more Paul solo songs. Two obvious examples are Torture and Century. Both gained new verses and bridges live, exposing the recorded versions as unfinished.

"it’s probably every fan’s fourth- or fifth-favorite Replacements album — almost without fail, really, no matter which three or four they place ahead of it. But there’s a pretty good chance this box set will move it up to, like, No. 2" I mean, there are opinions, but this is just factually wrong. "“Don’t Tell a Soul” was very arguably the best single collection of songs ever written by Paul Westerberg..." This guy is wild. Not sure what you meant by "factually wrong" from what you quoted, just looks like someone's opinion that's different from yours. He claimed that "almost without fail" it's every fan's fourth or fifth favorite album. It's not an opinion, when it's something easily disproved.

Couple of bold claims in this review. I wont spoil it. "it’s probably every fan’s fourth- or fifth-favorite Replacements album — almost without fail, really, no matter which three or four they place ahead of it. But there’s a pretty good chance this box set will move it up to, like, No. 2" I mean, there are opinions, but this is just factually wrong.
