THE REPLACEMENTS

Pleased To Meet Me (Vinyl)

$17.98 Vinyl

“...alive with the crackle of conflicting emotions and kamikaze rock & roll fire ...what fuels PLEASED TO MEET ME is the combination of Westerberg's instinctive grasp of adolescent trauma and the band's basement-rock fury, brilliantly produced by Memphis studio legend Jim Dickinson, who gets it warts and all.”
 - from David Fricke's original review for Rolling Stone, 1987.

 After emerging from and defining the Minneapolis music scene of the early 1980s and issuing a series of seminal releases on indie label Twin/Tone, The Replacements signed to Sire Records in 1985. Their fifth full-length and second for a major label, PLEASED TO MEET ME was also the band's first following the official departure of guitarist Bob Stinson, part of the legendary founding line-up that also included lead singer and songwriter Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars (drums) and Tommy Stinson (bass). Rhino's new 180-gram virgin vinyl edition of this 1987 classic was remastered from the analog master tapes and features the original album packaging. 

 PLEASED TO MEET ME was recorded in Memphis, TN with producer Jim Dickinson (whose association with Big Star forged the connection with the 'Mats). Memorable tracks include “Alex Chilton,” “The Ledge,” “I Don't Know,” “Red Red Wine” and “Can't Hardly Wait.”
