The Replacements, The Pleasure’s All Yours: Pleased to Meet Me Outtakes & Alternates, 2021 on Sire

Released as part of Record Store Day 2021, these are outtakes and alternate versions of songs from Pleased To Meet Me released on vinyl for the first time.

Some (most?) of these tracks have been released elsewhere: the expanded CD edition of Pleased To Meet Me or the All for Nothing / Nothing for All 2xCD compilation. Nice to get them on a vinyl release.

My copy via Academy Records in NYC.

Chet Baker, Albert’s House, 1969 on Beverly Hills

One of Baker’s releases following getting his teeth (allegedly) knocked out (see Born to Be Blue) – eleven songs composed by Steve Allen. Gets some pretty negative reviews – I’d agree it isn’t Baker at his prime, but I’m closer to the Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide which gives is three out of five stars than to Allmusic who gave it one.

He’s joined by Paul Smith (piano, organ), Barney Kessel (guitar), Jim Hughart (bass), and Frank Capp (drums).

My copy is a 2021 reissue on Liberation Hall that was part of Record Store Day (“RSD First”) in November 2021, via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA
