Americká alternativní rocková skupina The Replacements vznikla v roce 1979 v Minneapolisu. Proslavila se kombinací syrového punku s melodickými strukturami a upřímnými texty a patří mezi průkopníky post-punkové a alternativní scény 80. let.
Třístupňová archivní edice alba Let It Be vyšla poprvé v roce 1984 u Twin/Tone Records. Obsahuje nový remaster původního alba z analogových stereo kazet, dosud nevydané studiové outtakes a intimní domácí dema Paula Westerberga. Druhá polovina edice přináší kompletní živý záznam z březnového koncertu 1984 v Cubby Bear v Chicagu. Album, které představovalo odklon od tvrdého punku k melodičtějšímu post-punkovému zvuku s prvky power popu, zahrnuje skladby jako I Will Dare, Unsatisfied a Androgynous. Magazín Rolling Stone ho zařadil mezi 500 nejlepších alb všech dob a Pitchfork Media na 29. místo nejlepších desek 80. let.
V době vydání alba tvořili skupinu Paul Westerberg (zpěv, kytara), Bob Stinson (kytara), Tommy Stinson (baskytara) a Chris Mars (bicí).
