    "comment": "The Replacements' classic album Let It Be is getting a major Deluxe Edition reissue on November 21, 2025, featuring remastered tracks, unreleased studio outtakes, home demos, and a full, previously unheard live concert from the Cubby Bear in Chicago. This extensive release, available on 4LPs and 3CDs from Rhino Records, celebrates the album's legacy with bonus material from the 1984 era, including alternate versions and covers, with many retailers offering special events and listening parties around the release date. \n\nLet It Be (Deluxe Edition) will be available on 4LPs and 3CDs and includes the album alongside unreleased studio and live recordings.\n\nThe set gathers a wide range of unreleased material from the Let It Be sessions, including alternate versions of “Gary’s Got A Boner” and “Favorite Thing,” as well as previously unreleased outtakes \"Who’s Gonna Take Us Alive” and “Street Girl.” All five bonus tracks from 2008’s Let It Be (Expanded Edition) are included here, newly remastered for this set. \n\nThe collection also includes Goodnight! Go Home!, an unreleased 28-song performance recorded in August 1984 at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. Sourced from an audience tape and newly remastered, it finds the Minneapolis quartet charging through material from the not-yet-released album (\"I Will Dare\" and \"Unsatisfied\"), early favorites (\"Color Me Impressed\" and \"Takin’ A Ride\"), and characteristically offbeat covers \"Help Me Rhonda/Little G.T.O.\" (originally done by The Beach Boys/Ronny & The Daytonas) and “Can’t Get Enough” (Bad Company).\n\nLive at City Gardens is a six-song soundboard recording made February 11, 1984 at one of the band’s favorite punk clubs in Trenton, NJ.\n\nOne highlight is a rare performance of the ballad \"You’re Getting Married,\" a birthday request from the band’s original manager and Twin/Tone co-founder Peter Jesperson, who co-produced the 1984 album, as well as this Deluxe Edition. Westerberg altered the lyrics mid-song, delivering them to a punk crowd Jesperson feared \"might eat him alive\"—but didn’t. \"In all of The Replacements’ lore,\" he says, \"I think this is one of the greatest moments ever.\" https://tinyurl.com/ytfnmm87",
