Of the legions of bands that came to prominence in the '80s few remain as legendary or influential in the US as The Replacements, who embodied the DIY spirit that fuelled the alternative underground. DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I THINK I WAS? THE BEST OF THE REPLACEMENTS is the band's first-ever single-disc overview. Includes tracks from every one of the band's seven albums as well as the Stink EP, making it an essential introduction for new listeners, while the new songs make it a must-have for the band's longtime fans. This 20-track compilation makes an undeniable case for The Replacements' inclusion in the rock pantheon. Perhaps the most exiting news is the inclusion of the first new recordings by the band in 16 years. These two slabs of vintage-sounding 'Mats sound like songs that could easily have come off of Tim or Pleased To Meet Me. Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson reunited last December to record the tunes ("Message To The Boys" and "Pool & Dive") that Westerberg wrote specifically for inclusion on this compilation.
