REPLACEMENTS - Pleased To Meet Me LP
$48.95
Highly recommended.
They could have ruled American rock, been the Stones to R.E.M.'s Beatles, but for The Replacements, the most important thing was where the next drink was coming from.
Recorded in Memphis after Bob Stinson was shitcanned, the shaved-down trio of Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson, and Chris Mars hit the studio with a case of Rebel Yell and a copy of Big Star's "Third" and cut this timeless mix of sloppy, infectious "let's go out and get drunk" bar-band rave-ups and gut-wrenching lovelorn tearjerkers.
