MrMilk Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Any aussie VCers who have managed to track down a copy of AMF? Can't seem to find it in Sydney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave41 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I second this humble request. I have the vinyl box which comes with a DL of all the CD tracks, but it would be great to know where and when all these SWEET live versions were recorded, which presumably is info included in the digi-booklet. SA I could use a little help here as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maxspr1 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 For Skian--You're right: there are no new songs, but there are at least two tracks that are previously unavailable versions of songs (Unlikely Japan is almost two minutes longer than the only other available version and At My Window Sad and Lonely Jeff Tweedy Solo Version is a completely different recording than what it is listed as being and something that hasn't been available until this set). Also, earlier in the thread a couple of us were wondering if the Cars Can't Escape on AMF is not what was listed in the liner notes or released as a Wilcoworld download--it sounds like a completely different, more finished and more in line with the rest of YHF version than what anyone's heard before (the weird electronic noises especially). Not necessarily worth buying the box just for these tracks, but definitely a nice little surprise if you were going to buy it anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Santa brought me AMF as well. I patiently waited to listen to a majority of the collection on vinyl, and I am so glad I did. Just now spinning side one, and so happy. Nice to kick back with some cocoa and listen to these tunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Santa left me AMF. I'm blown away at how great the production quality is. Really enjoying re-visiting these songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I too received a vinyl copy of AMF from jolly old St. Nicholas. Am enjoying the digital versions right now as my turntable is currently packed for moving, but I'll give it a spin on the portable turntable with some headphones. Great stuff.

downisthenewup Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Anyone know of any online stores in the US who still have the vinyl box in stock? I know I'm way late to the party here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Wonder if it will ever get to Spotify? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Anyone know of any online stores in the US who still have the vinyl box in stock? I know I'm way late to the party here. AmazonUK has some in stock -- I am sure it more than typical US prices, due to exchange, but cheaper than aftermarket US prices - could be wrong though. I have bought CDs from AmazonUK and never had any issues. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OGU6PK4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00OGU6PK4&linkCode=as2&tag=shtv.uk-21&linkId=N3SFDYDSQM742V6R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Inside of Outside Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I am loving "Who Were You Thinking Of", "True Love Will Find You in the End", and the alternate take of "Airline to Heaven". "Who Were You Thinking Of" captures the energy and exuberance of their early days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCRGMac Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The CD has way more stuff on it. LouieBThe vinyl set includes a download code to get everything that's on the CDs too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I recently decided to buy this boxset. I got it for 31 bucks by way of Amazon. I have not yet listened to it yet - but I read through all the essays and liner notes earlier today. There is some good stuff there to read. I have to say it was nice of John to speak kindly of the online community. I also picked up the Mermaid Avenue boxset. I suppose now all I need is the Wilco book I never got around to reading (Sunken Treasure). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Lots of essays. I admit I have listened to the entire set, but not read the essays. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 are the liner notes different between the cd set and the LP set? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I would think they are the same. I guess with the LP boxset you get a bigger booklet. I say that - as someone's head is cut off in one of the photos in the cd boxset booklet. And I have seen the photo where it was not cropped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mus2009 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I really enjoyed Jeff's notes for the songs as he went through & listened to them...you could see some of his humor bleeding through on older tracks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have to disagree with his view of Any Major Dude - as I don't even really care for Steely Dan - but I love the Wilco cover of that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
