A.M. (Vinyl) (Deluxe Expanded Edition Reissue)
Deluxe Editions Of ‘A.M.’ And ‘Being There’ Feature Newly Remastered Versions Of The Original Albums Expanded With Rare And Unreleased Recordings That Have Never Been Heard Before!
Wilco continues to make excellent records and play shows that stir the soul, but the group invented the terrain it continues to explore more than 20 years ago with its first two albums – ‘A.M.’ (1995) and ‘Being There’ (1996). Rhino will revisit those landmark albums with remastered versions of the originals expanded with rare and unreleased music that will be new to even the most dedicated fans.
‘A.M. (Deluxe Expanded Edition Reissue)’ includes the original album plus eight unreleased bonus tracks. ‘Being There (Deluxe Expanded Edition Reissue)’ features loads of never-before-heard songs, alternate takes and live performances.

After his former band Uncle Tupelo broke up, singer/songwriter Jeff Tweedy took the bulk of the band—most notably bassist John Stirratt and drummer Ken Coomer—and quickly recorded Wilco’s 1995 debut, ‘A.M.’ The album includes several fan favorites like “Casino Queen” and the funny-sad ode to drunk driving and unrequited love, “Passenger Side.”
The new 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 note, 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.”
