Wilco just reissued its first two albums A.M. and Being There in expanded deluxe editions, and to celebrate we have vinyl copies of both reissues to give away!
To enter the drawing, send an email* with the subject “Wilco” HERE by midnight Thursday, Jan. 11. We will draw a name at random and notify the winner on Friday, Jan. 12.
A.M.: Deluxe Edition offers up eight unreleased bonus tracks that feature an early version of “Outtasite (Outta Mind)” and “When You Find Trouble,” which is the last studio recording made by Uncle Tupelo. In the album’s liner notes, Stirratt writes “Listening back to records 15 to 20 years later, I’m always taken with the confident but guileless quality of bands in their 20s, that strange mixture of innocence and conviction, and this is one of those records—we were barely a band at that point, just trying to make some noise.”
The Being There: Deluxe Edition builds on the original with 15 bonus tracks released for the first time, including alternate versions of tracks “I Got You” and “Say You Miss Me.” It also features Wilco’s 20-song performance at the Troubadour from November 12, 1996, combining songs from A.M. (“I Must Be High” and a full-throttle punk version of “Passenger Side”), Being There (“Kingpin” and “Forget The Flowers”) and a few Uncle Tupelo tracks (“The Long Cut” and “Gun.”) Also included are four songs the band played on radio station KCRW on November 13, 1996. As a touring band, many of these songs can be found on Wilco’s current setlist as notable fan favorites that have evolved over the years.
