DESCRIPTION:
“As Westerberg sings in “Favorite Thing,” “I think big, once in a while.” The book captures the ‘Mats in these moments, when they’re at their best, thinking biggest—cheerfully disruptive, prodigiously talented.” - PasteMagazine“…a feast for fan’s eyes” - Spin
Most of the written references are for those people that have pretty much followed them since the early days Linda B. A lot of time's passed since this book originally came out, so I'm sure I'm not the only (hardcore) Replacement's fan that's seen most, if not all of these incredible pictures & the memorabilla by now. But to be honest, it's just a real thrill to have ordered Jim Walsh's collection of memories, and go through them whenever I want to. Most of the written references are for those people that have pretty much followed them since the early days, but you get a true sense of what this incredible band went through to come out of t. "GREAT stuff in this book" according to Randy. My older sister worked at 7th Street Entry/ 1st Ave back in the day- serving drinks to Prince and working the crowd when the Replacements were playing. GREAT stuff in this book!! Nice job to everyone who worked on it !!. The more 'Mats the better! Jon R Youngberg Great quality photos and images of the band onstage and off. I loved all the tickets stubs and Ad's for their live shows. Here's hoping for a new generation of live photos from the recently reunited shows!
Arranged chronologically, each chapter includes a brief essay by noted Minneapolis rock scribe Jim Walsh, making this the most complete, informed and only illustrated history of the band ever produced.. As a result, the legend of this late and great Minneapolis, Minnesota-based band has grown more since they disbanded in 1991 than it ever did during the ten-plus years of their career. The Replacements were the darlings of 1980s rock critics and, by all accounts, would have been much more commercially successful if not for their penchant for self-sabotage.
