The Replacements
The Sire Years
Last summer, Rhino introduced a limited edition vinyl boxed set that brought together all of the albums The Replacements recorded with Twin/Tone Records. This year, Rhino will release the highly anticipated companion, a new four-LP collection that features all four of the studio albums the band recorded for Sire Records between 1985-90, including Tim (1985), Pleased To Meet Me, (1987), Don#t Tell A Soul (1989) and All Shook Down (1990). Without a doubt, the albums collected on THE SIRE YEARS helped secure The Replacements# reputation as one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. Tim (1985) introduced fans to instant classics like #Kiss Me On The Bus# and the anthemic #Bastards Of Young.# Pleased To Meet Me (1987) # the first without founding guitarist Bob Stinson # won raves for tracks like #Alex Chilton,# #Skyway# and #Can#t Hardly Wait.# Guitarist Slim Dunlap joined the band in the studio for the first time on Don#t Tell A Soul (1989), which includes #I#ll Be You,# the group#s highest-charting single. The band#s final album, All Shook Down (1990), stands as one of the most poetic and enduring epilogues in rock history, boasting such killer tracks as #Someone Take the Wheel# and #Sadly Beautiful,# and the Grammy# nominated #When It Began.# Production of the set will be limited to 8,700 individually numbered copies.
