I have one of those too! (Hand stamped copy of Stink) And an original copy of Shit Hits the Fans.
Cherished possessions indeed.
Tommyrot, I have SHTF on CD - you can borrow it to burn a copy.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
cathy has a big-ass painting of the cover to Let it Be hanging in her living room.

What that does have is the definitive version of "Can't Hardly Wait". Soooo much better than the studio verson they later released.
This is so true. They'd been playing that version live for YEARS - imagine my disappointment when I first played Pleased to Meet Me.
The lyrics are all wrong, and...horns?

Jon, I, um... forget where you're from. Were you in Minneapolis in the '80s? Or were you so cool that you were into the Replacements from the beginning while not living in Minneapolis?

I must be younger than y'all. The one on Pleased To Meet Me was the first one I heard. I like the other one, too, but I didn't hear it for another couple of years. They didn't even play it when I saw them in '87 (so, to be clear, I never saw Bob Stinson play -- Slim was sitting in at that point, but he wasn't officially in the band yet), but they were drunk as hell and playing wacky covers.

I do. It is awesome. It was a wedding gift from a friend on the same internet list where I ment my husband - it was a 'mats email list. So it only seems appropriate.
And then there is the framed promo poster from the Let It Be Era. Great band shot, all the TT albums pictured at the bottom with the caption “Tommy Says So..”
Last time Westerberg toured, we went to one of the in-stores and Chris told him we met on a mats discussion list and were getting married. He looked up at us, smiled and said “You know, I’ve been hearing more and more of that lately. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

Damn, I thought y'all were kidding. That rocks.

Up with the sun
I got a copy of The Shit Hits the Fans back when I was doing a lot of bootleg trades in high school, but I failed to properly appreciate it and now have no idea where it is.
I wish I had been old enough to see the 'mats all drunk and doing weird covers, but I was not.

I have a cassette of the Shit Hits the Fans too. I also love that version of Can't Hardly Wait.

Grew up in NYC. Moved to Boston for college. Let It Be was the first 'Mats record I was aware of. They were huge at my radio station. I got the stamped Stink copy second-hand a few years later.
