The Replacements - Let It Be

Let It Be by The Replacements—Paul Westerberg, Bob Stinson, Tommy Stinson, and Chris Mars—is widely hailed as one of the greatest albums of the 1980s and a cornerstone of indie rock. On October 24, the landmark 1984 album returns in a newly remastered and expanded edition on 4xLP and 3xCD configurations.

This deluxe archival edition features a new remaster of the album from the original two-track analog stereo tapes, alongside previously unreleased and rare studio outtakes and intimate Paul Westerberg home demos. Delve into the band's infectious live energy with a complete, previously unreleased concert recorded in March 1984 at Cubby Bear in Chicago, IL.

As music journalist Elizabeth Nelson writes in the liner notes, Let It Be “is a record for girls, for the working poor, for the terminally shy, for anyone who ever felt like a freak in their own skin. And it still is... It is, in short, the blueprint for what so many of us wanted and needed rock and roll to be: a refuge, a provocation, a mother, a middle finger, and, in the end, a way out.”
