Stink (Deluxe)

Rhino's remastered & expanded deluxe edition also features four previously unreleased bonus tracks. When the Replacements' second Twin/Tone release, the EP Stink, dropped in June 1982, the band members had emerged from their respective garages to become an epic force in Minneapolis' vital music scene. An adrenaline-fueled masterpiece, the disc finds the group's legendary founding line-up-lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars (drums) and brothers Bob and Tommy Stinson (guitar and bass, respectively)-ripping through eight songs in a breathless fifteen minutes.
