█▓█ The Replacements initially formed in 1979, when Paul Westerberg joined
█▓█ the a garage punk band formed by brothers Bob (guitar) and Tommy
█▓█ Stinson (bass) and drummer Chris Mars. Originally, the band was called
█▓█ the Impediments, but they changed their name to the Replacements after
█▓█ being banned from a local club for disorderly behavior. In their early
█▓█ days, they sounded quite similar to Hⁿsker Dⁿ, the leaders of the
█▓█ Minneapolis punk scene. However, the Replacements were wilder and
█▓█ looser than the Hⁿskers and quickly became notorious for their
█▓█ drunken, chaotic gigs. After they built up a sizable local following
█▓█ the Minneapolis label Twin/Tone signed them.
█▓█ Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, a sloppy hardcore collection,
█▓█ was released in 1981 but failed to make much of an impact on the
█▓█ national scene. It was followed the next year by the Stink EP, which
█▓█ followed the same pattern as the debut. It was the band's second
█▓█ album, 1983's Hootenanny, that first garnered the band attention and
█▓█ helped build their fan base. On Hootenanny, the group started playing
█▓█ around with other genres, adding elements of pop, straightforward rock
█▓█ & roll, country, and folk, although sometimes the eclecticism was
█▓█ ironic.
█▓█
█▓█ Hootenanny set the stage for Let It Be, the band's critical and
█▓█ artistic breakthrough. Released in 1984, Let It Be showed that the
█▓█ band had successfully expanded their musical reach and that Westerberg
█▓█ had grown considerably as a songwriter; he was now capable of pop like
█▓█ "I Will Dare," full-throttle rock & roll, and introspective ballads
█▓█ like "Answering Machine." Critics and fellow musicians were quick to
█▓█ praise the band, and they developed a large underground following. The
█▓█ buzz was large enough to convince Sire to sign the band in 1985.
█▓█
█▓█ The Replacements' first major-label album, Tim, was scheduled to be
█▓█ produced by Westerberg's idol, Alex Chilton, but the sessions fell
█▓█ through; the album was produced by former Ramone Tommy Erdelyi. Upon
█▓█ its release in 1985, Tim garnered rave reviews that equalled those for
█▓█ Let It Be. Though the band was poised for a popular breakthrough, they
█▓█ were unsure about making the leap into the mainstream. As a result,
█▓█ they never let themselves live up to their full potential. The
█▓█ Replacements landed a spot on Saturday Night Live, but they were
█▓█ roaring drunk throughout their performances and Westerberg said "fuck"
█▓█ on the air. Their concerts had became notorious for such drunken,
█▓█ sloppy behavior. Frequently, the band was barely able to stand up, let
█▓█ alone play, and when they did play, they often didn't finish their
█▓█ songs. The Replacements also refused to make accessible videos ù the
█▓█ video for "Bastards of Young" featured nothing but a stereo system,
█▓█ playing the song ù thereby cutting themselves off from the mass
█▓█ exposure MTV could have granted them.
█▓█
█▓█ After the tour for Tim, Bob Stinson was fired from the band, allegedly
█▓█ for his drug and alcohol addictions. The Replacements recorded their
█▓█ next album as a trio in Memphis, TN, with former Big Star producer Jim
█▓█ Dickinson. The resulting album, Pleased to Meet Me, was more
█▓█ streamlined than their previous recordings. Again, the reviews were
█▓█ uniformly excellent upon its spring 1987 release, but the band didn't
█▓█ earn many new fans. During the tour for Pleased to Meet Me, guitarist
█▓█ Slim Dunlap filled the vacant lead-guitarist spot and he became a
█▓█ full-time member after the tour.
█▓█
█▓█ Two years later, the band returned in the spring of 1989 with Don't
█▓█ Tell a Soul, the Replacements' last bid for a mainstream audience. The
█▓█ band had cleaned up, admitting that their years of drug and alcohol
█▓█ abuse were behind them, and were now willing to play the promotional
█▓█ game. Don't Tell a Soul boasted a polished, radio-ready production and
█▓█ the group shot MTV-friendly videos, beginning with the single "I'll Be
█▓█ You." Initially, the approach worked ù "I'll Be You" became a number
█▓█ one album rock track, crossing over to number 51 on the pop charts.
█▓█ However, Don't Tell a Soul never really took off and failed to
█▓█ establish the band as a major commercial force.
█▓█
█▓█ Defeated from the lackluster performance of Don't Tell a Soul, Paul
█▓█ Westerberg planned on recording a solo album, but Sire rejected the
█▓█ idea. Consequently, the next Replacements album, All Shook Down, was a
█▓█ solo Westerberg record in all but name. Recorded with a cast of
█▓█ session musicians as well as the band, All Shook Down was a
█▓█ stripped-down, largely acoustic affair that hinted at the turmoil
█▓█ within the band. Chris Mars left shortly after its fall 1990 release,
█▓█ claiming that Westerberg had assumed control of the band; he would
█▓█ launch a solo career two years later. The Replacements toured in
█▓█ support of All Shook Down, with Steve Foley, formerly of the
█▓█ Minneapolis-based Things Fall Down, as their new drummer. Neither the
█▓█ tour nor the album were successful, and the Replacements quietly
█▓█ disbanded in the summer of 1991.
█▓█
█▓█ Tommy Stinson formed Bash & Pop the following year; in 1995, he formed
█▓█ a new band called Perfect. Dunlap released a solo album in 1993. Bob
█▓█ Stinson died February 15, 1995, from a drug overdose. Westerberg began
█▓█ a solo career slowly, releasing two songs on the Singles ("Dyslexic
█▓█ Heart," "Waiting for Somebody") soundtrack in 1992; he also scored the
█▓█ film. He released his debut solo album, 14 Songs, in the summer of
█▓█ 1993 to mixed reviews. Paul Westerberg's second solo album,
█▓█ Eventually, was released in the spring of 1996.
█▓█
█▓█ This is the remastered version of the original album, which was
█▓█ released in 1981.
