Album Description
2008 remastered and expanded edition with bonus tracks of The Replacements' Tim album released in 1985. It was their first major label release. It was also the last album made by the original line-up of the band: guitarist Bob Stinson was kicked out of the band shortly after the album's release. The band performed "Bastards of Young" and "Kiss Me on the Bus" on Saturday Night Live on January 18, 1986. It was the most television exposure the band had received up to that time, but the band's behavior on the show, including swearing during the broadcast, resulted in a lifetime ban from Saturday Night Live. However, Westerberg would later perform on the show as a solo artist.

I liked the outtakes September 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I agree with the last couple reviews - I liked the outtakes a lot! If there's an annoying trend it is the addition of bad "bonus tracks" at the end of classic reissues. For some reason I feel that I need to like them as much as the original album or I find it disappointing. Of course the outtakes are not as good as the originals, although Can't Hardly Wait (acoustic) and Kiss Me on the Bus (outtake) are pretty good considering the stylistic differences. It's way more concise than Pleased to Meet Me and about the same as Let it Be on the quality/quantity continuum.
Couldn't Hardly Wait!!!! September 25, 2008

I have been anxiously anticipating the remastering of this album forever and when I heard last spring that it would be coming out this Fall I could barely contain myself.
I rushed out to buy it on Tuesday and I cannot stop listening to it. The remastering of this album is just what it has always needed badly. the songs sound much crisper and the bass is much more prominent. I am thrilled with it and really enjoyed the liner notes.
The outtakes I thought were awesome as well. I mean what can you expect from "outtakes"? I'm a long time 'Mats fan so I'm probably biased. In my eyes they could never do wrong...
 Another Disappointing Reissue from Rhino September 24, 2008
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
"Tim" is another disappointing entry in the Rhino Replacements reissues. Of course this is a great album - possibly the band's best. But, yet again with these Rhino reissues, it is in the presentation of the bonus material that we run into problems. The sound of footsteps and the opening of a door at the end of "Here Comes a Regular" is cheesy and completely unnecessary.
The acoustic version of "Can't Hardly Wait," while okay, isn't as great as Jesperson makes it to be in the notes, calling it "the Holy Grail" of the Sire years. And the electric version of "Can't Hardly Wait" is inferior to the version released on "Nothing for All," as this version is an earlier run-through of the song.
"Nowhere Is My Home" is a pretty good song, but was left off the album for good reason - it just wouldn't have fit. The studio demo version of "Kiss Me on the Bus" is an interesting, more rock (rather than rockabilly) version of the song. The alternate versions of "Waitress" and "Regular" are obviously inferior to the album versions. And what is with the cello at the end of track 17 playing what seems like a snippet of "Can't Hardly Wait"? Does this actually date from the "Tim" era, or did Rhino add it themselves? Very odd.
So, while the bonus material on "Tim" is a cut above the bonus material on the "Let It Be" reissue (and the liner notes are much more informative than the navel-gazing notes for "Let It Be"), the only bonus song really worth having is "Nowhere Is My Home." However, the remastered album sounds great, so it is probably worth updating your old CD. Rhino could have treated the Mats with a little more class by losing the footsteps and the cello.
Classic album gets a makeover. September 23, 2008

Tim will always be one of my favorite albums so I just had to rush out and buy the remastered and expanded version. The outtakes and demos are pretty good and a must have for any die hard fan. I only have two complaints with the CD. The beginning of "Left Of The Dial" is missing the OK, and the end of "Here Comes A Regular" has the sound of a door closing and then footsteps walking to another door. Then they get out their keys to open that door. I guess they did that so it would sound like you were walking into the room where they were recording the "Can't Hardly Wait" acoutic outtake.
