Replacements former frontman Paul Westerberg has released his new solo album for just 49 cents.

The US indie legend is selling the appropriately titled '49:00' via US Amazon for less than half a dollar. The album itself is 49 minutes long and is being sold as a single MP3 file.

Westerberg has also created a separate web page where listeners can download the album's cover art and liner notes.

This comes on the heels of the recent announcement of forthcoming Replacements reissues.
