Wilco – A Ghost Is Born (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

Nonesuch fejrer 20-årsjubilæet for Wilcos Grammy-vindende album A Ghost Is Born med en storslået deluxe-udgivelse den 7. februar 2025. Dette omfattende bokssæt fås enten som ni vinyl-LP’er og fire CD’er eller ni CD’er, og dykker dybt ned i skabelsen af albummet med alternative versioner, outtakes og demoer. Sættet indeholder også en komplet optagelse af Wilcos legendariske koncert fra Bostons Wang Center i 2004, samt unikke sessioner fra bandets Fundamentals-workshops.

Med 65 hidtil uudgivne numre er denne udgivelse et sandt skattekammer for fans. Derudover medfølger en eksklusiv 48-siders hardcover-bog fyldt med sjældne, upublicerede fotos og nye liner notes skrevet af den Grammy-vindende forfatter Bob Mehr.

Som en smagsprøve er en alternativ version af “Handshake Drugs”, indspillet under sessionerne i New Yorks Sear Sound den 13. november 2003, allerede tilgængelig.

Udgivet den 22. juni 2004, debuterede A Ghost Is Born som nr. 8 på Billboard-listen og blev anerkendt som et af årets bedste albums af medier som Mojo, NPR, NME, The Wire, Rolling Stone, Village Voice og Uncut. Mehr beskriver albummet som en “eklektisk blanding af mørke ballader, energiske popsange, Krautrock-grooves, noise rock-eksperimenter og rå roots rock.”

Albummet gav Wilco deres første Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album samt en Grammy for Best Recording Package.

En absolut must-have jubilæumsudgivelse for samlere og Wilco-entusiaster!
