The Replacements are set to reissue their 1985 debut album, Tim
The Replacements will reissue Tim in a brand new box set which will feature unreleased sessions produced by Big Star’s Alex Chilton.
Tim: Let It Bleed Edition will come with a hardcover book featuring photos and a new Bob Mehr essay, as well as a live album recorded at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago in 1986, and 50 previously unheard tracks, including material unearthed from the January 1985 session with Chilton.
The box set comes with a new mix that engineer Ed Stasium (Talking Heads, Ramones) worked on, last year, from the original multi-track tapes. The band had long been unsatisfied with the original mix, overseen by producer Tommy Erdelyi (aka Tommy Ramone), though the box set features another disc with that mix remastered.
“I really loved working on this project,” Stasium said in a statement. “It’s a great record, and now you can hear even better what’s great about it. But the best thing for me was that, in a funny and really beautiful way, I got to work with my dear friend Tommy Erdelyi once again.”
