The Replacements have offered up a second taste of their “radically re-imagined” version of their 1989 record Don’t Tell a Soul in the form of version of “Achin’ to Be” recorded at their aborted first sessions in Bearsville, N.Y. You can stream the song below via YouTube.
Rhino Records on Sept. 27 will release Dead Man’s Pop, a 4CD/1LP box set that features Don’t Tell a Soul “mixed as it was originally intended” and will include a disc of largely unreleased outtakes and a 1989 live set that spans two CDs. Full details and tracklist are available over here.
