STINK E.P.
12" E.P. 33 1/3 RPM (Twin/Tone TTR 8228)
June 24, 1982
STINK was the third vinyl release by the Replacements and their only release in 1982. The first three pressings of the 12" (numbering 2,000 + 1,500 + 1,500) were enclosed in hand-stamped white jackets. Each pressing was different: the first was black, the second was red, and the third was black, with a fake bar code made from a cutout "potato stamp."
Subsequent pressings of the vinyl cover had pre-printed jackets. A pressing in the late 1980s featured colored vinyl.
The Minneapolis Police (at the beginning of "Kids Don't Follow") were recorded live on location by Terry Katzman on January 29, 1982.
