To coincide with their first headlining tour in 24 years, The Replacements next month will release an 8-disc box set that collects the band’s seven studio albums and one EP released between 1981 and 1990, an announcement made today via a Rhino Records press release that had been copy edited by the band itself.
Due out April 14 and list-priced at $54.98, The Complete Studio Albums 1981-1990 will include Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash (1981), Stink (1982), Hootenanny (1983), Let It Be (1984), Tim (1985), Pleased to Meet Me (1987), Don’t Tell a Soul (1989) and All Shook Down (1990).
The set includes the remastered audio from the 2008 Rhino reissues, but not the bonus material.
The reunited ‘Mats — Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson, plus guitarist David Minehan and drummer Josh Freese — will open their 14-date, mostly sold-out North American tour April 9 in Seattle.

North America, my ass! I don’t see any Canadian or Mexican dates. You don’t even come close to Canada on the east coast. No Boston or New York or even better (for me) Portland, Maine. You really should go there. It’s a great place. Or Halifax, Nova Scotia. It’s great too.

So they are going to bundle those ’08 Remasters/Disasters that are riddled with errors? These are worse than the New Order Deluxe Edition releases – but, at least, they were “kind” enough to replace those.
Way to deflate the pomposity of an unnecessary re-release with the press release.
God, I’m glad they’re back! Hope they stick around this time. Hope the diss. is defended by the time of the Milwaukee show.
