www.sharingthegroove.org/msgboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47499This may possibly be the "Holy Grail" of Replacements bootlegs. 4 discs that span their entire career. All free for the taking. Take that Peter Jesperson!I thought that these tapes were at the bottom of Lake Minnetonka? You must have bit torrent and shn software to enjoy.

Great find Liam! Can anyone offer a hint as to how to open a file with this extension? My system does not recognize it.

Probably a trading thread now but: This originated and circulates on alt.music.replacement too, if the download won't take.

Eh, there's nothing here that already hasn't been available for years. Somebody just compiled existing bootlegs into one 4-disc set. Jesperson is surely sitting on a mountain of stuff that none of us have ever heard. And it probably needs to be pointed out again that tracks 19 through 21 on disc 3 are not the Replacements. I can't believe that these "guitar fill" tracks are still circulating as Mats material. This is yet another case of some joker putting his own feeble noodlings onto a boot and trying to pass it off as genuine.

Yeah, most of this stuff has been available for years, via bootlegs. There's a few interesting songs, that never made any of the albums, and some interesting alternate takes on old classics. Definitely worth having, if you're a fan.
As for the guitar noodling tracks, it sure sounded like someone had been listening to Eddie Van Halen.

A_Regular, here's a link to free software that will allow you to convert the SHN files into WAV. You should have no problem once you do this. All you have to do, once you download, and activate the program, is drag the SHN file into the programs window, and it does the rest. home.att.net/~mkw/mkwact/

This might sound stupid, but can you cheery pick the thing or do you have to take all 104 songs?

There's no way of selecting individual portions on the STG site $100. If you have hi-speed, the downloads can go pretty quick. I downloaded a 4 GB DVD file, in about 15 hours the other day from STG.

I posted this because it would be a lot easier to get this than spending a lot of time trying to get it from other avenues. I figured that some people here (including myself) don't have all of this and I'd pass the information along to anyone who'd be interested. Thanks for pointing out that those tracks are fake.

Yeah, I wasn't criticizing you for posting it. It's cool to have them all in one giant download, especially for those who haven't heard this stuff before. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Jesperson's long-promised set. I'm dying to hear the original masters for some of these. Glitch-free recordings of stuff like "Street Girl" and "Don't Get Married" might have people revising their list of favorites. A little anal-retentive footnote: The disc sleeve lists two versions of "Learn How To Fall", but the title is actually "Learn How To Fail".

This is yet another case of some joker putting his own feeble noodlings onto a boot and trying to pass it off as genuine. Could it be that this is Paul trying to work out a Van Halen like solo for Shooting Dirty Pool? He previously said that's what he was going for but could never get it quite right so they went with Jim Dickinson's son to do the solo.

It sounds like some kid who couldn't have been playing guitar for more than a week trying to be Eddie Van Halen.

I have the set on cd and just assumed that's what it was. It resembles the Shooting dirty pool solo ever so slightly.

I try to convert the songs to WAV and it tells me I don't have the magic number.
How do I get the magic number?

A_Regular, here's a link to free software that will allow you to convert the SHN files into WAV. You should have no problem once you do this. All you have to do, once you download, and activate the program, is drag the SHN file into the programs window, and it does the rest. home.att.net/~mkw/mkwact/This is GREAT stuff...and I am terribly appreciative. I was able to download the SHN files, as well as the converter program. However, when I try to drag the SHN file over on top of the converter program window, nothing happens. Is this because I'm running WinXP? Or, did I neglect to do something??? Thanks!

Okay go21bucs,
Go into the folder that you downloaded the SHN files into. There should be a file that says MD5. It should be about 2 KB in size, and should have the description [File Integrity Signature List] in the "Type" column.
Click on the MD5 file. This will automatically open the conversion program. The first thing the program will do is run a check on all the SHN files you downloaded. Once this check is done, just drag the SHN files into the rectangle, below the white windowed area.
The program should then turn the file into a WAV file.
Let me know if this works out for you.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to try to download it when I get home. Even though we have a T1 at work, it is slooooow. I was also curious, is alt.music.replacement still around? It is a newsgroup correct? I tried to find it a while ago and I was unable to find it.

It's alive and kicking at groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=alt.music.replacementsat least that's how I get it. I think this here message board has dropped the traffic there a bit, but some prefer it so there it is. I posted about the objection that the noodlings guitar solo tracks are not the Mats playing. Here is a response: I read somewhere that(PTMM producer) Jim Dickinson's son played those guitar noodlings .He played some guitar on the album. They were recorded during the Ptmm sessions,so they were included in the collection.

The only file that downloaded was the "replacements_sessions[1].shn" file...and that's it. How can I acquire this MD5 file? Thanks!!
