The Replacements - Dead Man's Pop (CD)

Limited four CD + vinyl LP box set. Dead Man's Pop features the group's Don't Tell A Soul Album mixed as it was originally intended and expanded with previously unreleased studio and live recordings, including a session with tom waits and a complete 1989 concert. Back in 1987, Minneapolis rock and roll renegades The Replacements famously stole their Twin/Tone master tapes and threw them in the Mississippi River. A year later-while wrapping up work on their Warner Bros. Album, Don't Tell A Soul-the group absconded with a collection of their reels from Paisley Park studios. Thankfully, those tapes were spared a watery fate, and instead stashed away for decades by the band. Now they've been recovered to form the basis of The Replacements first-ever boxed set, Dead Man's Pop. Although Don't Tell A Soul ultimately became the group's best-selling effort, The Replacements were unsatisfied with the sound of the record. The box features a newly completed mix of the album by Don't Tell A Soul producer Matt Wallace (based on his 1988 Paisley Park mix); a disc of unreleased recordings (including a session with Tom Waits); plus the band's entire June 2, 1989 show at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In total, the box includes 60 tracks-58 of which have never been heard before.
