Stereo (Paul Westerberg Album)
''Stereo'' is the fourth solo album by Paul Westerberg. At this point in his career, the former Replacements leader was entering a new phase. He said goodbye to professional studios and big-name producers like Brendan O'Brien and Don Was, recording the album in his basement by himself. As detailed in the liner notes, Westerberg made no effort to fix imperfections, and even included a song for which the tape ran out before it was over. ''Stereo'' was packaged with ''Mono'', which he credited to his Grandpaboy alter ego. Vagrant Records also had a limited release of ''Mono'' as a separate album. The hidden track that closes ''Stereo'', "Postcards from Paradise", is a cover of a Flesh for Lulu song. On November 29, 2019, ''Stereo''/''Mono'' was released as a double LP as part of Record Store Day's Black Friday. Track listing All songs written by Paul Westerberg, except where noted.
