For the 40th anniversary of their second studio album, “Tim,” The Replacements are releasing “Tim: Let it Bleed Edition.” The massive box set features a loving remaster of the original release of “Tim,” but the real value is in the live performance and the unreleased tracks.
Rhino Records has lately made a cottage industry of mining the alternative rock band’s sea of alternate takes and raucous live recordings. The “Let it Bleed Edition” is a tightly focused snapshot of the band’s messy energy and sublime songwriting at a pivotal moment, as The Replacements teetered on the edge of stardom.
