The 'Mats Hit The Fans


Everywhere I look these days I seem to be running into THE REPLACEMENTS, but as far as I can tell, no one has posted their cassette-only release "The Sh*t Hits The Fans" (the asterisk is mine).

Recorded by a fan at their 11/11/84 show in Oklahoma City, the tape was confiscated and later released officially on cassette by Twin/Tone Records. An incredibly fun show in surprisingly great quality, with lots of sloppy covers and cover fragments, including "Jumpin' Jack Flask" (hey, that's how its listed!).

A detailed description of the recording, including the full track listing, is here:

Here is the complete recording, ripped from my old cassette. Its two large files, "Side 1" and "Side 2", each running more than 25 minutes:
