As announced last week legendary Minneapolis indie rockers THE REPLACEMENTS,
(1979–1991, 2006, 2012–2015) re-release their 4th LP – issued in 1985 – titled TIM
with a special box edition through Rhino on 22 September.

The 4CD/1LP deluxe boxed set, titled TIM: LET IT BLEED EDITION, is built around a stunning new mix of Tim by legendary producer/engineer Ed Stasium (Ramones, Talking Heads) and features a collection of previously unheard tracks (Sons of No One: Rare and Unreleased) and a classic concert from 1986 in Chicago (Not Ready For Prime Time).

Presented in a 12 x 12 hardcover book – loaded with dozens of previously unseen photos – the set features a detailed history of the Tim era written by Bob Mehr, who produced the box with Rhino’s Jason Jones. Mehr, author of The New York Times bestseller Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements, won a Grammy® award for his album notes to the band’s 2019 release, Dead Man’s Pop.

To warm up here are 2 demo tasters.
