You probably should increase your tracking weight a little bit. Some people have their systems set up with the tracking weight too low, and that will make things skip. Some records can have slight obstructions that can cause skips, but increased tracking weight can break through those. This is not something that should happen or be done often if you have your system set up properly, it is just a fix for some types of manufacturing flaws. Too little tracking weight is worse for your records than too much because it is not good for the needle to be bouncing around everywhere.

Thats how mine was too. warped the record nicely!

Ive had the same problems with new amazon vinyl. It really irks me because it is so easier to ship vinyl in record mailers, and the records arrive perfectly when you do. They dont arrive perfectly when they are put in a box at an angle!

I am thinking 2011 for the box set. Molina did play with him recently, but he was replaced pretty quickly.

I would like to be able say ive seen neil solo acoustic and with crazy horse. I have tickets for the solo acoustic gig, so now I am waiting on the horse. I believe they are all not on good terms though.

He was getting up in the years where this stuff happens, but this guy was an audio legend. I think the wonderfully deep and haunting tones on AGIB say it all. Sear's approach to the studio is quickly becoming extinct, and it is a shame. This guy was an electrical engineer that could design all of his own gear, and built a wonderful studio the old fashioned way. As a vinyl fan and a guy that really appreciates old school analog recording techniques, this is quite a bummer. I will spin my vinyl copy of AGIB very loudly on my headphones now.

The role of a producer is somewhat like that of an editor or an opionated person. Throughout neil's career, he has used David Briggs (Tonight's The Night, Everybody knows this is nowhere, after the goldrush, etc.) and Elliot Mazer (Harvest, Harvest Moon, etc). Briggs died in 95 and I dont know what has been up with Mazor, but I think for the last 15 years, most of the records suffered from not having that strong opinion around. Neil needs someone to tell him that even though the muse struck and he wrote a chorus and four verses, the song isnt complete. A producer says that part is amazing,

It sounds great. if you love wilco, love wilco live, and love vinyl, you will love it. ya know? If you arent a huge fan, and dont have a good vinyl setup, and arent as big into them live, you wont think it was worth the money.

I didnt realize vitalogy and VS had gotten so expensive. I just put my copies up for sale!

Ive started avoiding downloading shows when they start playing the new stuff. Works pretty well. There is something magical about getting a highly anticipated new record, putting it on the turntable, putting on my headphones, dropping the needle and sitting down in my comfy chair for awhile...

I got my copy. No sticker or CD, but since the only reason I bought this was for those 4 thick slabs of vinyl, I am happy. I got a phone call as I was checking out that a good friend of mine (the drummer in my high school band) died yesterday. Im not too excited about the box set anymore

would be very awesome

this is so cool! I hope this turns into a yearly thing. I cant afford it this year, but it will be awesome for those that can It would be cool if Loose Fur played!

I am patiently waiting for my preorder vinyl to get here so I can crank it up and bask in analog glory to hear these songs for the first time. It is hard!!!!

I just saw record store day updated their page and it says that this is now coming with a CD too! So that probably means those extra tracks will be on that right?

I think it is the in thing to do, but I think enough people have become hooked on it that it will continue to be a viable market. I am 23, and have gotten several of my friends to start buying LPs. I even got my dad back into it. He is collecting all of the wilco releases and bought a turntable for the living room at my parent's place. I think there are a decent sized group of people out there that was never happy with being forced to abandon vinyl. Vinyl provides a tangible way to consume music, and I think that there is a big enough group of music fans that can appreciate that. I th

it would be a cool idea. The more like the moon ep, extra songs from YHF, AGIB, and SBS plus stuff we dont even know about. Id buy it!

remastered for vinyl means they went back to the original master tape "the mixdown" and redid the mastering process from that point. This is another clue pointing to a high quality vinyl pressing. CD masters usually have alot of compression to make them sound louder, resulting in a loss of dynamics and causing ear fatigue. Vinyl doesnt have the ability to take this much signal very well, and this compression really kills the sound quality of a lot of recordings. Seeing that this was remastered for vinyl means that it will probably be very dynamic, and it will also be eq'ed to better suit t

I cant wait for this. I think it is going to sound killer

mine is the h2. and to everyone, this is by no means a definitive recording or any thing. Most are way better, but this is here for now till the better ones show up.

I think the music industry is really faultering. Before it took a label to be in a band. Period. Now, like how radiohead released in rainbows originally, it is possible to have success on a big level without the label. It definitely will be interesting to see what happens with this. Wilco has become a touring institution (like the dead was) with a large devoted fan base. They can play shows worldwide and draw audiences simply by announcing the show online. They dont need a big label marketing budget to be successful. I will see them every time they are within driving distance, and I kn

I recorded the show on my little zoom recorder and I thought I would share. This recording isnt great, but it is listenable. It will suffice until a better one comes out. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=038096e84e6371c58d78a0e555291609c308786edb5e6193a9a26c4ed87536eb Enjoy! This one also has the added bonus of my commentary. I have a few song predictions and a little bit of background on some of the rare tunes that were played. You can also hear me singing a few times (I am a singer, so dont worry it is in tune!) and various other little bits of fun.

what I meant by my post is that wilco is at a point where a major label could invest a bunch of money in marketing and make them bigger. But a label takes a lot to all of the money from a band's record sales. And they have strong demands in terms of both artistic, production, and implementation. They aren't currently and have never seen a lot of hardcore marketing, but they have continuously built a fan base by their own hard touring work. Not having a label will allow them to make more money from their releases, and will let them have the control they want. The marketing will continue b

I dont really think wilco's recent success has much to do with the label. It is them consistently playing killer shows and winning over fans one at a time on the road, who come back and bring more fans. The standard contract with a record label is a 90%/10% split in favor of the label. All expenses must be paid out of the band's ten (recording costs, etc.) before the band makes any of the 10%. I dont know if Wilco's is like this, but the vast majority of contracts are. The main benefit of having a label is for physical distribution, marketing and as something like a bank. Since wilco to
