First time on vinyl; breakout of live material from Tim (Let It Bleed Edition) featuring the original lineup performing in January 1986 the week of their infamous performance on Saturday Night Live (hence the title).
“Not Ready For Prime Time” was recently released in its entirety as part of the exhaustive deluxe box set edition of The Replacements’ classic album “Tim”. However, with copies of that multi-disc collection retailing for around the £100 mark, this new standalone vinyl edition of this fantastic live show from January 1986 is a positive boon for all serious ’Mats fans.
Featuring 28 tracks in all, it captures a suitably passionate performance from the band’s classic, Bob Stinson-era line-up, with the track-list offering tunes from all the group’s albums, from their debut, “Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash£, up to and including “Tim”, in addition to inspired covers of songs such as The Beatles’ “Nowhere Man”, The Cramps’ “The Crusher” and KISS’ “Black Diamond“. Edgy, tanked-up and just the right side of sloppy,
“Not Ready For Prime Time” captures The Replacements’ live experience in excelsis.
