Il prossimo 9 ottobre su etichetta Rhino uscirà la ristampa versione deluxe di “Pleased to Meet Me” disco che i Replacements pubblicarono nel 1987.
Il cofanetto, 3 cd e 1 vinile, conterrà anche materiale mai pubblicato come 11 demo registrati ai Blackberry Way Studios di Minneapolis nel 1986, alcune di queste rappresentano gli ultimi brani registrati dalla band con la formazione originale (il chitarrista Bob Stinson lascerà il progetto proprio in quell’anno), 13 versioni ‘rough mixes’ di pezzi che poi riappariranno in nuova veste sul disco e varie cover (su tutte “Run For The Country” di Westerberg) e outtakes.
PLEASED TO MEET ME (DELUXE EDITION) bundles can be pre-ordered now at @Rhino_Records, with a variety of limited edition items, including a t-shirt, tote bag, & more – plus a cassette featuring a rare Paul Westerberg interview from 1987: https://t.co/jMMt0zlQPw #TheReplacements
