Replacements Immersion #5 -- "The Shit Hits The Fans" (1985)

Record is here. Released January 25, 1985 by Twin/Tone Records. One pressing of 10,000 cassettes, then out of print forever. It didn't chart well.

Dyed On: Is this the artwork for this below? Just curious...

That's it.

Hey dd, do you have the other half of the record--I can only get tracks 1-15. Which are fucking awesome.

That was all I could find, alas. When I get back to ARC: 'TIM.'

I don't understand--what is ARC: 'TIM.'?

"Tim" is the next record in the immersion. I cheated and am listening to it now. I assume ARC is Allston (Rock City).

Ah, thanks for the clarification, tommy.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank dyedon for keeping the immersions going--my life would be a far worse place without P.J. Harvey or the replacements. That said, I can't believe I went so long without ever hearing/getting into the replacements(I vaguely remember the one popularish song that a friend had on her mix tape in the early nineties, or maybe it was from a movie soundtrack?). I have this strange feeling that if I had listened to let it be (or any of these records) in high school, the entire course of my life would have been radically different.

Tommy point: Allston Rock City. Much obliged. It's because of the Replacements that I know the definition of 'Androgynous.'

'Dissatisfied' on Let It Be has been etched in my brain as of late. I think a spin on 'End of Radio' may be warranted.
