The Replacements will reissue Tim, their major-label debut from 1985, in a new box set packaged with the shelved sessions produced by Big Star’s Alex Chilton. The 4xCD, 1xLP box, Tim: Let It Bleed Edition, is out via Rhino on September 22, and it comes with a hardcover book featuring photos and a new Bob Mehr essay, a live album recorded at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago in 1986, and 50 previously unheard tracks, including material unearthed from that January 1985 session with Chilton. A new mix by Ed Stasium overhauls the original album production by his longtime working partner Tommy Ramone. 

Mehr, the band’s biographer, says in a press release: “After nearly 40 years, Tim remains a charmed collision of intention and accident, a balance of deliberate anthems and tossed-off gems, of raucous release and refined beauty—and a record that perfectly captures the band’s fraught but always compelling ascent on the ladder of success.”

Stasium’s new mix is on the vinyl that comes with the box, and the CD set additionally features a 2023 remaster of the original mix. Check out the full tracklist below.
