1987 BROADCAST RECORDING FROM A THREE PIECE REPLACEMENTS The most delightful shower of reprobates ever to be let loose in an American recording studio, the legendary Replacements could nevertheless pen the very finest alternative rock anthems and perform shows as enlightening as they were often shambolic. The superb recording now available on CD for the first time comes from the group s gig at The Chance Club in Poughkeepsie, New York state, on 18th July 1987. With the band working as a trio at the time - only the ever present Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Chris Mars were by now in the line-up - and hot on the heels of Pleased To Meet Me , released a month before, The Replacements are in fine form for this unique show. Performing a tantalising set peppered as ever with a number of choice covers, all rubbing shoulders with some of the 1980s best contemporary compositions.
