Alt-rock trailblazers The Replacements have detailed an expansive reissue of their fifth album, 1987’s Pleased to Meet Me.
In addition to a remastered version of the classic record, the collection will unearth 29 previously unreleased songs — including 15 demos the band recorded at Minneapolis’ Blackberry Way Studios in 1986. Several of the tracks mark Bob Stinson’s final recordings with the band. The tracks will be comprised of b-sides, outtakes, alternate versions of beloved hits and a Jimmy Iovine remix of ‘Can’t Hardly Wait,’.
The collection will arrive with a 12×12 hardcover book featuring rare photographs of the band and new liner notes.
The Pleased to Meet Me reissue will be released on Rhino Records on October 9th.
