The Replacements: Pleased to Meet Me
Bill Holdship, unpublished, 2008
NOTE: These are Bill Holdship's original liner notes for the new Pleased to Meet Me reissue that were replaced last year when project producer Peter Jesperson ruled that each Replacements reissue should have notes by different writers. Jesperson decided to go with former Sire A&R rep Michael Hill for Pleased to Meet Me; the rereleased Don't Tell A Soul CD still features Holdship's liner notes.
