Product Description
Description
Self-deprecating even from the grave, the greatest rock band of the '80s tempers this retrospective of shoulda-beens and never-wases with an apology: "This isn't a greatest hits disc because, well, there weren't really any hits". There should have been, of course, as disc 1, which features four cuts from each of the 'Mats' four major-label albums, makes clear. There are the indispensable indie-rock anthems "Left of the Dial" and "Alex Chilton" and the equally fine acoustic plaints "Here Comes a Regular" and "Skyway". But the industrydidn't have a clue what to do with a band that dared mix bruising, anything-goes rock and roll with sensitive songwriting, and metal guitar squalls with pop hooks (and was funny, to boot). Not until Nirvana came along, that is.
Disc 2, on the other hand, is filled with songs the Replacements themselves didn't know what to do with--oddball B-sides, discards and covers, almost all of them released for the first time commercially here. Besides a couple of major lost Paul Westerberg tracks, including the rockingly tuneful "Till We're Nude", this disc is most notable for one unlikely pearl eachfrom bassist Tommy Stinson ("Satellite", the only song he wrote and sang for the 'Mats) and drummer Chris Mars ("All HeWants To Do Is Fish"). There's also a trash-R&B cover, "Jungle Rock", produced by Jim Dickinson in Memphis, that they should have followed up on, and an alternate version of "I Don't Know" (the unlisted final track) that proves, even more than the original, that they knew how to laugh in the face of failure.
