For 2013 the Replacements have been nominated for Rock N Roll Hall of Fame induction (like any fan of the band cares.. We always were aware of their greatness!!) and a "reunited" version of the band has done a handful of shows (Hey guys.. Where is Chris Mars??... Not the same without him on drums man!!)... BUT we still have this economy box set of the first 5 records in their original vinyl versions. The growth as a band and songwriters shown over the course of these recording is ASTOUNDING!! From a ragged local punk band to a smart and professional tight unit ready to become the biggest act around!! Too bad personalities fueled by drugs and booze got in the way. Oh well... We still have the music and the memories. There wouldn't be HALF of the bands around today (Green Day, the Killers, Pearl Jam) without these recordings to inspire them. During the time when hairbands from LA ruled and hip hop was still in it's infancy, these guys, Husker Du, Black Flag and Sonic Youth kept the punk flags flying... For that reason alone every alternative music fan needs to have this set.Read full review
I was looking to buy Pleased to Meet Me and found this five disc set for about three bucks more. Quality is fine and the mini album packaging is cool. I've bought several of these sets to date and at $20 or less, they're a fantastic value.
