KramkonG Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What did they have people do at that photo shoot? They invited fans from night one to come out to the theater...some were chosen to wear the Nudie suits, while one was holding the cake...everyone else formed a line to "get in" the theater while the photographer took shots...

There's random people wearing the Nudie suits in the jacket, but it's not like what you're describing unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusetc84 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I want to get this signed by all members of the band, then stick a marker in the camel's mouth and let it scribble some lines on the cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks for the pics. When mine arrives, I'm going to blast Bull Black Nova, then put this album in the crate with the rest of the records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 got my copy today! i will say that Wilco (The Album) features some of the best vinyl artwork i have ever seen. love the fact that the lyrics are printed on the actual jacket rather than flimsy paper and i'm also digging the pics. i liked the cd as well but i gave that to my boss since he missed Wilco at the Bonnaroo. about to put this bad boy on the turn table edit- Deeper Down sounds wild on vinyl!

Maggie Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My LP arrived today (never having received a shipping confirmation email *from the Kung Fu store). I love the group photo inside the gatefold. The picture would make for fabulous desktop wallpaper if only it wasn't too large for my scanner bed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gueringray Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 This was pressed @ RTI, correct? Pallas, in Germany I believe. Best pressing plant anywhere. So cool this came early, unlike past releases! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griddles Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I love that the nudie suits are just the suits. Also the random people are good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spilled Milk Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Bought this today and it sounds wonderful. Also got an orange t-shirt that says Wilco (the album) on the front and (Alfred) the fan on the back and a promo poster. Only cost me around $24 after tax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 its mandatory upon first listen of the vinyl that you wear these: i have way too much time on my hands... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gabepride Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 This sounds way, way better on vinyl than on CD. Holy crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Central Scrutinizer Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 For a band that's aging (with its fans) it's a little frustrating that, while they included their lyrics in the gatefold, they made the type so itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, tiny ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I got mine today, and I really like that they used the old style jackets again, like they did for sky blue sky. For those of you that dont know what Im talking about, most records these days have the artwork directly printed on to the cardboard. On this album, sbs, and most old vinyl, they paste paper with the artwork printed on it onto the cardboard. They can use thicker cardboard then, and it makes the record feel much more substantial, and I think they wear better over time that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 its mandatory upon first listen of the vinyl that you wear these: i have way too much time on my hands... Where did those come from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willywoody Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 how do the songs break down by side, ie which songs are on which sides? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
