Some 33 years later, The Replacements have finally made a video for Pleased To Meet Me lead-off single “Can’t Hardly Wait” — and it’s been assembled from footage originally shot for the infamously banned-from-MTV clip for “The Ledge” then used for follow-up video “Alex Chilton.” Watch it right here.

Rhino Records will release a 3CD/1LP expanded reissue of The Replacements’ 1987 album Pleased To Meet Me this October, and the label is offering fans’ another taste of the previously unreleased material contained within: in this case, a demo of album opener “I.O.U.”  Listen to it right here.

Rhino Records this fall will release a 3CD/1LP edition of The Replacements’ 1987 album Pleased To Meet Me, and the label is offering fans’ another taste of the previously unreleased material contained within: in this case, a demo of the record’s third track, “I Don’t Know.” Listen to it right here.

The Replacements’ Pleased To Meet Me gets the box set treatment this fall when Rhino Records releases a 3CD/1LP edition of the band’s fifth album stuffed with 29 previously unreleased demos, rough mixes and outtakes — including Bob Stinson’s final recordings with the ‘Mats. Hear six of the unreleased tracks here.

Slim Dunlap, who joined The Replacements following the expulsion of Bob Stinson and played guitar on the band’s last two albums, was hospitalized this week after suffering a “severe” stroke that has, according to his wife, left the 60-year-old partially paralyzed, but still ‘sharp and aware.’
