Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week
Record Store Day may have been last Saturday, but I am headed to my local indie shop tomorrow to pick up the four remastered Replacements albums, Hootenanny, Let It Be
Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, Stink. Often rumored and much anticipated, the bonus material makes these discs a must-have for fans of the band.
The Replacements remastered editions are hardly the only new music worth checking out this week. Billy Bragg releases his latest album, Mr. Love & Justice in the US tomorrow, and talented Swedish singer-songwriter Anna Ternheim finally gets an album release in the states with Halfway to Fivepoints. Elvis Costello releases his latest album, Momofuku, as a vinyl and digital release. From what I have heard already, I can also strongly recommend Chris Mills' Living in the Aftermath (which pulls its music and lyrics from pop culture sources), El Perro del Mar's From The Valley To The Stars, The Jealous Girlfriends' self-titled debut, Shelley Short's Water for the Day, the Thalia Zedek Band's Liars and Prayers, and Tokyo Police Club's Elephant Shell.
Besides the Replacements discs, the other notable reissue this week is a remastered edition of Love's Forever Changes (complete with bonus disc).
What are you picking up this week? Are there any releases worth adding to the list?

I hope the Elvis record doesn't suck. I'm very skeptical.

How are the bonus tracks on the Replacement reissues? I have all the CDs already (except Stink), and don't feel like buying them again for a couple of throwaway tracks. I do like the songs on the ... Nothing For All disc.

^^^they are actually pretty good. Worth having. Sucks having to plop down another $50 for 4 CDs you already own, but in this case it's worth it.

The American Princes record came out on Yep Roc, I love it and expect to hear it all over the place if that band actually gets a shot. They are playing Merc tomorrow.

allmusic shows numerous versions of "Forever Changes" including a "Deluxe Edition" that came out on Rhino on Feb. 20, 2001, which was also remastered and contains bonus tracks (probably not the same tracks this latest edition has, though). How's that Morrissey song go? "Reissue, repackage, repackage..."

well it's about time they finally released a joy division best-of! their studio albums like "substance" and "permanent" had too much filler!

but does anyone know if the 'Mats reissued stuff is coming back out on vinyl?

God I'm so glad they finally reissued Let it be...Anyone know what the bonus material on it is? And to the post earlier, I'm pretty sure that they aren't releasing it on vinyl.
