The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me

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 lineup 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.
