Replacements a fost o trupă americană de rock alternativ fondată în Minneapolis în 1979. Inițial au cântat hardcore punk, dar treptat au integrat elemente de folk și power pop în sunetul lor, devenind una dintre formațiile emblematice ale scenei post-punk americane din anii '80. Au influențat puternic rockul alternativ al anilor '90.
Albumul Let It Be a fost lansat pentru prima dată în 1984 ca al treilea album de studio al grupului și marchează o îndepărtare semnificativă de la punkul lor zgomotos inițial către un sunet mai melodic și mai sincer. Albumul combină energia punk cu elemente post-punk și power pop, oferind versuri emoționante despre adolescență și conștientizare de sine. Printre piesele cheie se numără I Will Dare, Unsatisfied și Androgynous. Această ediție deluxe pe trei viniluri include un nou remaster din 2025 realizat din casetele stereo analogice originale cu două piste, versiuni de studio inedite și demo-uri de acasă ale lui Paul Westerberg, precum și înregistrări live de la concertul din martie 1984 de la Cubby Bear din Chicago.
În momentul lansării albumului, nucleul formației era format din vocalistul și chitaristul Paul Westerberg, chitaristul Bob Stinson, basistul Tommy Stinson și bateristul Chris Mars.
