Music Monday: Tim Still Needed

replacements tim albumThere is one Replacements album I still need to get. I can’t find it anywhere as it is apparently out of print to the point that even Amazon and other online retailers do not have it. Finding it used is a challenge to say the least. I am referring to Tim, the band’s major label debut.

I have the original CD, but I am looking for the 2008 Rhino reissue that has the album remastered as well as including some bonus tracks. I managed to pick up all the other CD reissues from the band except for this one. Somehow it escaped my attention.

The album is great and features some of the band’s best material with songs such as “Waitress In the Sky” and “Kiss Me On The Buss” along with one of my all-time favorite Replacements songs – “Left Of The Dial”.

Let me know if you find a copy of the album. It’s not just having the bonus tracks. If that was the case I would purchase them individually. No, there are liner notes that I want, I’d like the remastered album as well as simply preferring the physical format.

Those bonus tracks, man, I might have to just go ahead and purchase them separately and hope to come across a copy of the CD at some point in the future. There are a couple that areĀ really appealing to me, especially the two different outtakeĀ versions of “Can’t Hardly Wait” (a song which would appear on the band’s next album, Pleased To Meet Me, which I do have in the reissue format).
