 Don't know if there are any other Replacements fans out there, but I'll make this post any way. The Replacements first four albums orignally released on Twin/Tone have been re-released, remastered and expanded.

 Imho the Replacements were and still should be considered one of the greatest American rock and roll bands ever. Living in the Midwest made it easy to see their development as they were from Minneapolis and came though every tour and playing in a band which got to play support for many such indie (at the time) bands makes my connection a bit more personal. Nonetheless, these first four albums originally release on vinyl on the legendary Twin/Tone label do a great job of laying down a soundtrack for those of us who went from adolescence to adulthood in Reagan's America.And "Let It Be' is without doubt one of the greatest records ever made. Buy 'em, download em' and crank these mothers up!!
