The Replacements - All Over But the Shouting

The Replacements "All Over But the Shouting" coming in November to bookshelves and websites near you....



(From the book blurb at Amazon....)
In the first book to take on the jumble of facts, fictions, and contradictions behind the band, veteran Minneapolis music journalist Jim Walsh distills archival interviews with bandmembers and hundreds of hours of new interviews with their friends, families, fellow musicians, fans, and co-conspirators into an absorbing oral history worthy of the scruffy quartet that many have branded the most influential band to emerge from the Eighties.

Former manager Peter Jesperson, Paul Stark and Dave Ayers of Twin/Tone Records, Bob Mould and Grant Hart of rivals Husker Du, the legendary Curtiss A, Soul Asylum's Dan Murphy, Lori Barbero of Babes in Toyland, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, power-pop hero Alex Chilton, Twin Cities native Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, and replacement Replacements Slim Dunlap and Steve Foley--among dozens of others--explain the scene that spawned the band, offer insights into the band's workings, and explain the Replacements' lasting influence more than fifteen years after their breakup. The story is illustrated with both rarely seen and classic photos, as well as archival materials.
