Trupa americană de rock alternativ The Replacements s-a format în 1979 la Minneapolis. A devenit cunoscută prin combinația de punk brut cu structuri melodice și texte sincere, fiind printre pionierii scenei post-punk și alternative din anii '80.
Ediția de arhivă pe trei discuri a albumului Let It Be a apărut inițial în 1984 la casa de discuri Twin/Tone Records. Conține un remaster nou al albumului original din casete stereo analogice, piese de studio inedite și demo-uri casnice intime ale lui Paul Westerberg. A doua parte a ediției include înregistrarea completă a concertului din martie 1984 de la Cubby Bear din Chicago. Albumul, care a reprezentat trecerea de la punk-ul dur către un sunet post-punk mai melodios cu elemente de power pop, include piese precum I Will Dare, Unsatisfied și Androgynous. Revista Rolling Stone l-a inclus în lista celor 500 de albume din toate timpurile, iar Pitchfork Media l-a clasat pe locul 29 printre cele mai bune albume ale anilor '80.
La momentul lansării, trupa era formată din Paul Westerberg (voce, chitară), Bob Stinson (chitară), Tommy Stinson (chitară bas) și Chris Mars (tobe).
