The fans that purchase TIM: LET IT BLEED EDITION at will also receive a limited edition 7” vinyl single featuring two songs from the Chilton sessions: the rollicking road song “Nowhere is My Home” b/w the previously unreleased “Cello Version” of “Can’t Hardly Wait.” Those who purchase directly from Rhino will also have access to exclusive merch bundles. In total, the box includes 65 tracks–50 of which have never been heard before. This deluxe edition also includes a disc of unreleased recordings (among them, unearthed material from the band’s January 1985 session produced by Big Star legend Alex Chilton) as well as The Replacements’ entire January 11, 1986, show at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. Also included is a new and improved mastering of Erdelyi’s original 1985 mix of the album. Stasium, who was a close friend and longtime production partner of the late Erdelyi (who died in 2014), has fashioned the definitive mix of the 11-track Tim.
TIM: LET IT BLEED EDITION will be available from Rhino on September 22 for $89.98. The 4CD/1LP deluxe boxed set is built around a stunning new mix of Tim by legendary producer/engineer Ed Stasium (Ramones, Talking Heads) and features a collection of previously unheard tracks (Sons of No One: Rare & Unreleased) and a classic concert from 1986 (Not Ready For Prime Time). Now, after four decades, the LP has finally been given a long overdue sonic overhaul as part of TIM: LET IT BLEED EDITION. Over time, however, the record would find a mass audience among successive generations thanks to the enduring appeal of anthems like “Bastards of Young” and “Left of the Dial” and ballads like “Swingin Party” and “Here Comes a Regular.”Įven with Tim’s evolving status as an all-time classic, The Replacements remained unsatisfied with the sound of the record, largely centered on the mix done by the album’s producer, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer Tommy Erdelyi, aka Tommy Ramone. Released in the fall of 1985, The Replacements’ major label debut, Tim peaked at #192 on the Billboard charts, selling just 75,000 copies.
