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.
All songs written by Paul Westerberg, except where noted.
Note: Track listing on Stereo is numbered differently as it omits "Strike Down the Band" and the hidden track, "Postcards from Paradise". It lists only 12 songs. "Postcards from Paradise" is located on the same track as "Call That Gone?", following a short period of silence.
