Description

Limited Edition, individually numbered, Four-LP Collection of The Replacements early years recording for the legendary Minneapolis Record Label Twin/Tone Records. This collection features: Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash (1981), the Stink EP (1982), Hootenanny (1983) and Let It Be (1984) pressed on vinyl for the first time in over two decades.

The Replacements signed to Twin/Tone Records in 1980. Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash arrived a year later with songs like Takin A Ride, I Bought A Headache, and Shiftless When Idle. The band returned in 1982 with the Stink EP. The indelible lead track Kids Dont Follow is bolstered by the whiplash rhythms and sneering defiance of God Damn Job and Dope Smokin Moron. The band began to expand its musical horizons the following year on Hootenanny. There were rockers Mr. Whirly and Color Me Impressed but also the moody groove of Within Your Reach, the slurry shuffle of Treatment Bound and Loveline, a swinging vamp on the want ads. The groups final Twin/Tone album, Let It Be (1984), brought all of the Mats strengths together. Its recognized today as one of the greatest albums of the 1980s thanks to classic tracks like I Will Dare, Androgynous, and Unsatisfied.

Each copy is individually numbered, limited to 8,000 copies.
