The Replacements – The Pleasure’s All Yours: Pleased to Meet Me Outtakes & Alternates LP Vinyl Record (2021 Record Store Day Exclusive)

“The Pleasure Is All Yours: Pleased to Meet Me Outtakes & Alternates” is a collection of material from The Replacements sessions for their critically acclaimed fifth studio album “Pleased to Meet Me.” Recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis over a three month period in 1987 – with legendary producer Jim Dickinson – the original album was the only recorded by the band as a trio, after original guitarist Bob Stinson acrimoniously left the band. 

Perfectly captured on this record is the moment in which Paul Westerberg’s punk impulses, pop instincts, and poetic soul came into focus as never before. The album sees the band more in spirit as they delve into genres not so present on previous works, such as soul and cocktail jazz, alongside tracks featuring their customary hard rocking sound. This Record Store Day exclusive release features an entire LP of outtakes and alternates which have never been released on vinyl before. All audio has been remastered by Justin Perkins.
