Back in 2017, the Replacements released For Sale: Live At Maxwell’s 1986, a recording of one of their final shows before the departure of original guitarist Bob Stinson at the legendary Maxwell’s in Hoboken, New Jersey. Now, it looks like they’re gearing up to release a new box set. A four-disc Replacements box set has just been listed on Amazon UK, as Brooklyn Vegan reports. It’s called Dead Man’s Pop and it comes out 9/27. The track list features alternate mixes from their 1989 album Don’t Tell A Soul.

Matt Wallace is listed as the producer, with mixing by Chris Lord-Alge. Wallace’s Don’t Tell A Soul mixes make up the first disc. The second features versions from their infamously messy 1988 sessions the band did with producer Tony Berg at Bearsville Studio just outside of Woodstock. Disc Two also includes alternate mixes and songs from another infamous session they did with Tom Waits in 1988. Discs Three and Four are a live recording of the Replacements’ 6/2/1989 show at University Of Wisconsin. Check out the track list below.
