Amerykański alternatywny zespół rockowy The Replacements powstał w 1979 roku w Minneapolis. Zasłynął połączeniem surowego punku z melodyjnymi strukturami i szczerymi tekstami i należy do pionierów post-punkowej i alternatywnej sceny lat 80.
Trzypłytowa archiwalna edycja albumu Let It Be ukazała się po raz pierwszy w 1984 roku nakładem wytwórni Twin/Tone Records. Zawiera nowy remaster oryginalnego albumu z analogowych taśm stereo, dotychczas niewydane studyjne outtakes i intymne domowe dema Paula Westerberga. Druga połowa edycji przynosi kompletny zapis koncertu z marca 1984 roku w Cubby Bear w Chicago. Album, który stanowił odejście od twardego punku ku bardziej melodyjnemu post-punkowemu brzmieniu z elementami power popu, obejmuje utwory takie jak I Will Dare, Unsatisfied i Androgynous. Magazyn Rolling Stone umieścił go wśród 500 najlepszych albumów wszech czasów, a Pitchfork Media na 29. pozycji najlepszych płyt lat 80.
W momencie wydania albumu zespół tworzyli Paul Westerberg (wokal, gitara), Bob Stinson (gitara), Tommy Stinson (gitara basowa) i Chris Mars (perkusja).
