The Replacements Reignite ‘Let It Be’ with Deluxe Edition Full of Rarities and a Wild 1984 Live Set

Rhino Records has reissued ‘Let It Be,’ the landmark 1984 album from The Replacements, in a Deluxe Edition packed with rarities, alternate takes, and a never-before-released 28-song live set from Chicago’s Cubby Bear. Alongside a remastered version of the original album, fans can now dig into unreleased material like alternate versions of “Androgynous” and “Favorite Thing,” studio outtakes like “Street Girl (Takes 1 & 2),” and a full-length version of “Unsatisfied.” The chaotic, joyful energy of The Replacements also comes through on the newly mixed live album Goodnight! Go Home!, featuring pre-release renditions of future classics and wild covers like “Help Me Rhonda,” “Little G.T.O.,” and “Can’t Get Enough.”

The project came together after the band noticed fans uploading lost tracks to YouTube, which sparked a deep-dive into their vaults. What surfaced is a thrilling time capsule from a band in full swing, charging ahead on instinct and volume. With this Deluxe Edition, ‘Let It Be’ feels more vital than ever.
