REPLACEMENTS

De derde schijf destijds uit het oeuvre van deze alternative rock pioniers. Geen voortzetting van de muziek die ze tot dan toe maakten maar een rustigere en uitgebalanceerde koers. Let it be werd al direct op waarde geschat en komt vaak terug in de lijstjes van de critici.
Alom een juweel uit de jaren tachtig . Deze heruitgave biedt de bekende rarities maar ook live opnames naast uiteraard Let it be zelf. (Wilco de Man)

4LP - Limited Deluxe Edition Black Vinyl Set. The landmark 1984 album returns in a newly remastered and expanded edition.

Let It Be by The Replacements—Paul Westerberg, Bob Stinson, Tommy Stinson, and Chris Mars—is widely hailed as one of the greatest albums of the 1980s and a cornerstone of indie rock. The landmark 1984 album returns in a newly remastered and expanded edition on 4xLP and 3xCD configurations.

This deluxe archival edition features a new remaster of the album from the original two-track analog stereo tapes, alongside previously unreleased and rare studio outtakes and intimate Paul Westerberg home demos. Delve into the band's infectious live energy with a complete, previously unreleased concert recorded in March 1984 at Cubby Bear in Chicago, IL.

As music journalist Elizabeth Nelson writes in the liner notes, Let It Be “is a record for girls, for the working poor, for the terminally shy, for anyone who ever felt like a freak in their own skin. And it still is... It is, in short, the blueprint for what so many of us wanted and needed rock and roll to be: a refuge, a provocation, a mother, a middle finger, and, in the end, a way out.”
