We're continuing our week of Replacements-themed topics as we look forward to the band's show on Saturday at Midway Stadium. Today, we're going to delve a bit deeper into the Mats' recorded catalog by showcasing demos and alternate takes of some of their many beloved songs. There are actually quite a few, especially given the recent reissues of the original Replacements catalog that contain a lot of cool bonus material and extra tracks.

What demos and alternate takes of familiar Replacements songs would you like to hear for today's 9:30 Coffee Break? (If you're not sure what alternate versions have been released, just sit back and enjoy the set).

Songs Played:

Can't Hardly Wait (Tim Version)

Lovelines (Alternate Vocal)

Kiss Me On The Bus (Studio Demo)

Alex Chilton (Alternate Version)

Answering Machine (Solo Home Demo)

Here Comes A Regular (Outtake - Alternate Version)
