Once, Twice, Three Times A Maybe
About This Album
More than a few Replacements fans have wondered aloud about why Tommy Stinson would take a gig as bass player with Guns N' Roses, but let's face it, given the man's luck as a solo act, can anyone blame him? His first post-'Mats project, Bash & Pop, sank without a trace despite releasing a better and more enjoyable album than Paul Westerberg managed on his own until Stereo, and Stinson's next band, Perfect, ended up recording its first and only full-length album for a label distributed by an outfit that decided at the last minute Perfect wasn't the kind of band they were interested in. Bootlegs of the shelved Perfect album, Seven Days a Week (taken from advance promo copies sent to press and radio), have been making the rounds with collectors since 1997, and seven years after the fact Rykodisc has finally given less well-connected fans the opportunity to hear the disc. However, Once, Twice, Three Times a Maybe isn't exactly Seven Days a Week -- for its long-awaited official release, the material has been given a new mix by Matt Hyde and the songs have been re-sequenced, with one track ("Peg Song") dropped altogether, perhaps not the wisest choice for an album that barely runs over 30 minutes.
