On Wednesday (August 20), The Replacements announced the details of the deluxe reissue of their celebrated 1984 album, Let It Be, which will be released on October 24 via Rhino.  The remastered collection, available on 4LP vinyl and 3CD sets, features 35 unreleased studio and live tracks, including a 1984 live performance at the Cubby Bear in Chicago, along with alternate versions of songs like “Favorite Thing” and “Sixteen Blue,” and a newly restored alternate take of “Androgynous” that the band shared to accompany the announcement. The set will also include liner notes by music journalist and member of the D.C. rock band the Paranoid Style, Elizabeth Nelson. Additionally, a Rhino exclusive 10-inch vinyl EP, Live at City Garden, captures a rare performance of “You’re Getting Married,” which the band’s original manager (and Let It Be’s co-producer) Peter Jesperson says, “In all of The Replacements’ lore, I think this is one of the greatest moments ever.” (Consequence of Sound)
