Oooh! Maxwell's 2/4/86 is already a shit-hot boot of a pretty focused outing. If there's pro-recorded sound of the whole show and not just the few tracks shot there for Old Grey Whistle Test this would be an epic buy.

99% of the way through Mehr's bio which forced me to dig into their catalog a lot more thoroughly than I had before. Love the demo version of Raised (Razed) in the City:

Came out on Friday. Listening now and it's pretty damn awesome.
The Replacements - 'Dead Man's Pop' (2019). Four CD's - two the complete 'Inconcerated' gig, one the Bearsville sessions with Tony Berg plus assorted demos and outtakes and the Tom Waits session, plus the Matt Wallace original mix of 'Don't Tell a Soul' before Sire had Chris Lord-Alge re-mix it for maximum '80s radio appeal. Also includes a vinyl copy of the the "new" version.
This came out yesterday, I snagged the last copy from the last record store in St. Paul, down the block from my work.
Always loved 'Don't Tell a Soul', so this redux doesn't change my mind or anything, but it's pretty fucking incredible. Extremely well done box set - from the packaging to the research to the mastering and sonics. I paid $80(US), Amazon has it for $60 or so - so it's expensive, but I'm thinking this is the new gold standard for single album redux/re-imagining projects. (and to think that the 'Abbey Road' box came out the same day. Hmmm...).
