Seems as if Minneapolis's Replacements have landed a record contract
with Sire!  They turned down at least one other offer (CBS)--looks as
if things are looking up!  Though they can no tear up the independent
charts, this exposure should do everyone good.  This should insure (?)
that they don't get caught up in problems like those with Twin Tone--
_Let_it_Be_ was finished a full year before it finally made it to the
stores.  Don't look for a video.

Is there anyone else out there on the net who considers the Replacements
one of the best bands around?
