Rhino Records will release a 3CD/1LP expanded reissue of The Replacements’ 1987 album Pleased To Meet Me this October, and the label is offering fans’ another taste of the previously unreleased material contained within: in this case, a demo of album opener “I.O.U.”
The 55-track Pleased To Meet Me: Deluxe Edition is due out Oct. 9 and will include 29 previously unreleased demos, rough mixes and outtakes — including Bob Stinson’s final recordings with the ‘Mats.
It’s available for pre-order now.
