Released in the fall of 1985, The Replacements' major label debut, 'Tim' peaked at #192 on the Billboard charts, selling just 75,000 copies. Over time, however, the record would find a mass audience among successive generations thanks to the enduring appeal of anthems like 'Bastards of Young' and 'Left of the Dial' and ballads like 'Swingin Party' and 'Here Comes a Regular.' Even with 'Tim's evolving status as an all-time classic, The Replacements remained unsatisfied with the sound of the record, largely centered on the mix done by the album's producer, Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer Tommy Erdelyi, aka Tommy Ramone. This 4CD/1LP deluxe boxed set is built around a stunning new mix of Tim by legendary producer/engineer Ed Stasium (Ramones, Talking Heads) and features a collection of previously unheard tracks ('Sons of No One: Rare & Unreleased') and a classic concert from 1986 ('Not Ready For Prime Time').
