WILCO – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (20th Anniv. Super Deluxe Edition) – 11LP – Vinyl + CD & Book

11 x LP – Heavyweight 140g High-Performance Vinyl Discs+ 1CD& Book.

Nonesuch release seven special editions of Wilcos landmark 2002 album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The now-classic record has been remastered and will be available as part of each set. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was the first Wilco release on Nonesuch Records following the bands infamous split with Reprise (both labels are part of Warner Music Group). It was also the first release featuring the line-up of drummer Glenn Kotche and multi-instrumentalist Leroy Bach joining founding members Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt. The 2002 Sam Jones film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart documented the fraught recording and mixing process, personnel changes, and label issues.

Exploring questions, while weaving in strands of Eastern philosophy and bits of autobiography Yankee lyrics would be loaded with the pained imagery of someone suffering from migraines and mental health issues Tweedy would conjure a deep examination of both country and self.

11LP – The Super Deluxe version comprises eleven vinyl LPs and one CD including demos, drafts, and instrumentals, charting the making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot plus a live 2002 concert recording and a September 2001 radio performance and interview. That box set includes eighty-two previously unreleased music tracks as well as a new book featuring an interview with singer/songwriter/guitarist Jeff Tweedy, drummer Glenn Kotche, and Jim ORourke, who mixed the acclaimed 2002 album; an in-depth essay by journalist/author Bob Mehr; and previously unseen photos of the band making the album in their Chicago studio, The Loft.
