Wilco Announce Reissues of A.M. and Being There Featuring Unreleased Music For December 2017 Release

Wilco, who recently finished a fall tour and also releasing a song, has announced a reissue of A.M and Being There, that will include unreleased music. The CD and vinyl versions are available on December 1st through Rhino.

A.M. was originally released in 1995 and Being There was released in 1996. After his former band Uncle Tupelo broke up, Jeff Tweedy helped quickly recorded Wilco’s 1995 debut A.M.

According to press release, 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.”

The A.M.: Deluxe Edition includes the original album and eight unreleased. This will be available on CD for $14.98 and double LP for $34.98. Being There: Deluxe Edition includes a lot of unreleased songs, alternate takes and live performances. This will be available on a five-CD collection for $39.98 and four-LP set for $79.98. Some of these unreleased songs feature an early version of “Outtasite (Outta Mind)” and “When You Find Trouble”. The track lists and album artwork are shown below.
