Americká alternatívna rocková skupina The Replacements vznikla v roku 1979 v Minneapolise. Preslávila sa kombináciou surového punku s melodickými štruktúrami a úprimnými textami a patrí medzi priekopníkov post-punkovej a alternatívnej scény 80. rokov.
Trojstupňová archívna edícia albumu Let It Be vyšla prvýkrát v roku 1984 u vydavateľstva Twin/Tone Records. Obsahuje nový remaster pôvodného albumu z analógových stereo kaziet, doteraz nevydané štúdiové outtakes a intímne domáce demá Paula Westerberga. Druhá polovica edície prináša kompletný živý záznam z marcového koncertu 1984 v Cubby Bear v Chicagu. Album, ktorý predstavoval odklon od tvrdého punku k melodickejšiemu post-punkovému zvuku s prvkami power popu, zahŕňa skladby ako I Will Dare, Unsatisfied a Androgynous. Magazín Rolling Stone ho zaradil medzi 500 najlepších albumov všetkých čias a Pitchfork Media na 29. miesto najlepších platní 80. rokov.
V čase vydania albumu skupinu tvorili Paul Westerberg (spev, gitara), Bob Stinson (gitara), Tommy Stinson (basgitara) a Chris Mars (bicie).
