"...every Replacements album needs a boneheaded stomper, and the relentlessly dumb boogie of ‘I Won’t’ fulfils that criteria here."
I love that song. Apart from Talent Show, it's the second most played track off the album for me. Anywhere's Better Than Here is the boneheaded stomper in my book.

Funny that the earlier version of Achin to Be has even more of the syrupy chorus/flange effects on the guitars than the final album version.

It's definitely an earlier recording. The lyrics aren't finished and it sounds like Paul hadn't written the bridge yet.

This is a couple years old now, but it's a great performance of a really good song from an excellent album that maybe didn't get the attention it deserved.

And what do you think the "unused original album art" (for the cassette version) looks like? It's in the picture on Rhino's site. It just looks like a rough b&w shot of the band name and title crudely scratched into wood or metal.

Thanks. I placed it yesterday and I haven't gotten anything from Rhino and they aren't responding.

Did anyone get an order confirmation from Rhino? I paid via Paypal and the only confirmation I got was from Paypal.

These Days (Jackson Browne) Judging by his cover, I think it's safe to say his point of reference was Nico's version and not Browne's original.

I was not expecting this one. I almost did a spit take at the end of this video.

And if that is how he operates, then that would make sense that he wouldn't re-create entirely some of those demos for the Wild Stab CD with Julianna except to add in new vocals with her and maybe add in a new guitar part? I'm just speculating here, I have no idea. That's what he's said in interviews. I think in the Peter Wolf interview he talks about how he didn't do anything on some songs. I know he talked about how Born For Me was not a redo, but an earlier version with Juliana's vocals dubbed on.

I always go back to the Songs for Slim ep. Even though it was all covers, it was raw and loose and had great drumming and spirited, finished vocals. I would be ecstatic with that level of production. [/div] [/quote] Yeah, I don't understand why those post-reunion recording sessions couldn't have gone exactly like the Songs for Slim session. The way Tommy and Josh Freese described those sessions was just strange. They both talked about how Paul was thrown for a loop because they couldn't record live in the same room, but then the Songs for Slim session was described as all of them just getting together and recording live in the same room.

But that's an Eventually outtake, not a basement recording.

You can always contact the photographer if you're willing to spring for a nice print. Years ago I contacted the guy who shot the interior album photography for All Shook Down and he told me he'd sell me large prints of anything I wanted. He quoted me reasonable prices, but I never picked anything up from him. www.michaelwilson.pictures/the-replacements-st-paul-minnesota-1990

Joan Jett released a cover of "Androgynous": That's from 2004.

Which reminds me...Recommendations on web resources where you can look up sales figures for recorded formats? I wanna say some of those Mats albums from "Tim" through "DTAS" were at least hitting six figures. In, you know, the first window of release; say, a year. There was a thread here once where somebody came up with an online resource for album sales, but I can't find it now. I remember Paul's solo sales were shockingly low. And he's seemingly intentionally whittled that number down over the years. Anyway, this was the Mats at their peak sales, and it wasn't exactly gangbusters: "The closest the Replacements came to a hit was “I’ll Be You,” from the 1989 album Don’t Tell a Soul, which sold less than 320,000 copies."

You can hear him sing "Headed up north, where you belong" pretty clearly on live recordings.
