The Replacements are reissuing Let It Be with a handful of unreleased tracks. It will come out in 4xLP and 3xCD sets on October 24 via Rhino, bulked out with unreleased material from the album sessions that includes alternate versions of “Gary’s Got a Boner,” “Favorite Thing,” and “Androgynous,” the last with a different vocal take and the full piano intro. Unreleased outtakes “Who’s Gonna Take Us Alive” and “Street Girl” also feature. Listen to the alternate take of “Androgynous” below, and scroll down for the full tracklist.
Completing the set are five bonus tracks included in a 2008 expansion of Let It Be, newly remastered here, and a live album called Goodnight! Go Home!, comprising 28 songs recorded in August 1984 at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. An additional 10-inch vinyl called Live at City Gardens, a six-song soundboard recording made at a Trenton, New Jersey, punk club, is exclusive to Rhino’s website. Pitchfork contributor Elizabeth Nelson wrote the liner notes for the reissue.
