Originally called the Impediments, the Minnesota residents changed their name
to the Replacements after being banned from a local club for disorderly behavior.
In their early days, they sounded quite similar to Hüsker Dü, the leaders of the
Minneapolis punk scene. However, the Replacements were wilder and looser
than the Hüskers and quickly became notorious for their drunken, chaotic gigs.
After they built up a sizable local following the Minneapolis label Twin/Tone signed them
"PLEASED TO MEET ME"

...the 'Mats headed down to Memphis to record Pleased to Meet Me with producer Jim Dickinson at Ardent Studios -- or to phrase it in Alex Chilton-speak, to record with Big Star's 3rd producer at the studio where all three Big Star albums were made.... Dickinson's grand production merely blows the 'Mats up to epic scale, leaving their essence intact... The Replacements never sounded better with a bigger production than they did on Pleased to Meet Me, so it's hard not to see it as the one that got away, the record that should have been the breakthrough, especially in the year when fellow American underground rockers R.E.M. leaped into the Top Ten...(AllMusic)
