Description

THE REPLACEMENTS - BOINK!!

Long out of print import on Glass Records, 1986.

The purpose of Boink has never been entirely clear -- though released in 1986, two years after the Replacements' critical breakthrough Let It Be, this eight-track mini-LP instead compiles the majority of its selections from the band's earlier, lesser Twin/Tone releases Stink and Hootenanny. The record is nevertheless something of a Holy Grail among Replacements fans, however, for its inclusion of two much sought-after rarities: "If Only You Were Lonely," the B-side of their "I'm in Trouble" single, and the previously unreleased "Nowhere Is My Home." The former is a sardonic acoustic ballad that's perhaps the first Paul Westerberg song to fully articulate the self-deprecating angst and alienation at the heart of the band's very best work; the latter is a blistering rocker produced by cult icon Alex Chilton, brilliantly continuing along the same thematic lines. Long out of print, but well worth the effort of tracking the damn thing down.

Jacket and LP are VG+.
