MarkyMark77 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm glad the vinyl omits the live tracks. There are some great live performances on those B-sides but I really don't like them removed from their context. It's the vinyl for me.This also makes me hold out hope for some unreleased stuff in the future, since there really aren't tracks on this set that haven't been released in some form (unless I missed something). I absolutely loved Pearl Jam's "Lost Dogs" compilation, and while this isn't really a mix of released and unreleased, it looks pretty darn good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If I was a betting man, Mark, it'd be they're saving the "unreleased" stuff for expanded reissues of their albums... just a hunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 "Alpha Mike Foxtrot features 64 pages of liner notes that include track-by-track recollections from Tweedy, notes by band members Nels Cline and John Stirratt, and reflections from members of Wilco’s extended professional family. The booklet also showcases dozens of archival and never-before-seen photos from a wide array of photographers chronicling all phases of the band’s career. ... Wilco appears on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, October 27." http://www.nonesuch.com/journal/wilco-marks-20-years-2-special-releases-november-17-nonesuch-records-2014-10-14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcroach Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 KT vinyl added: Another Man's Done GoneHow to Fight LonelinessTheologiansKameraJust a KidMondayOuttasite (Outta Mind)I'm a Wheel What I find odd is that some of these are included (Another Man's Done Gone, How to Fight Loneliness, Theologians, I'm a Wheel) and some are not (Kamera, Just a Kid, Monday, Outtasite (Outta Mind)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The cd is 30ish and the vinyl box is $80 Nonesuch website has it for $75. http://www.nonesuch.com/albums/alpha-mike-foxtrot-lp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Considering less than half of the tracks are non-album tracks, I think a more coherent release would've been a 2-disc collection of those and a judicious selection of demos. Luckily, that's what the vinyl release is (though they did drop one or two). Now if I can justify paying more than $50 for it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Just came across this on Amazon. I wonder if Jeff was influenced by this, or if it's just coincidental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcroach Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Will the airline to heaven be the same as the Jesus' son soundtrack? That's my guess. It's the only officially released alternate version I'm aware of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Apologies and a thousand lashes if this has been asked 100x and is clearly indicated in whatever obvious spot I haven't looked yet. Do the LPs come with a digital download? Thanks/sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do the LPs come with a digital download? Thanks/sorry. Yes, from what I understand the vinyl comes with a digital download of ALL the tracks from the box set..including the live cuts.
