The Tim: Let It Bleed Edition 1LP/4CD deluxe box 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).
Stasium, who was a close friend and longtime production partner of the late Erdelyi (who died in 2014), has fashioned the definitive mix of the 11-track TIM. Also included is a new and improved mastering of Erdelyi's original 1985 mix of the album. This deluxe edition also features a disc of unreleased recordings (among them, unearthed material from the band's January 1985 session produced by Big Star legend Alex Chilton); as well as The Replacements' entire January 11, 1986, show at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. In total, the box includes 65 tracks-50 of which have never been heard before.
Presented in a 12 x 12 hardcover book - loaded with dozens of previously unseen photos - the set features a detailed history of the TIM era written by Bob Mehr, who produced the box with Rhino's Jason Jones. Mehr, author of The New York Times bestseller Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements, won a Grammy® award for his album notes to the band's 2019 release, DEAD MAN'S POP.
In addition to the revelatory new mix, the Tim: Let It Bleed Edition also boasts a fresh cover, featuring an instantly iconic 1985 image of the band in its Minneapolis rehearsal space, taken by noted photographer Moshe Brakha. Coincidentally, Brakha shot the cover of The Ramones' 1977 album LEAVE HOME, a record which marked the first collaboration between Tommy Erdelyi and Ed Stasium.
