The Replacements: All Shook Down Vinyl LP

Final album from the Replacements.Released in 1990, All Shook Down was originally meant to be frontman Paul Westerberg’s solo debut. Instead,Westerberg’s management convinced him to release it as a Replacements record, though it remains unclear which Replacements actually played on which tracks. Regardless of this, the album yielded one of the band’s most successful singles, “Merry Go Round,” and also featured notable musicians John Cale and Johnette Napolitano as guests. This 2017 pressing comes as part of Rhino’s Start Your Ear Off Right series.
