Wilco / Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994-2014 / four disc set

By Paul Sinclair

Nonesuch Records are releasing two Wilco collections next month, the most interesting of which is Alpha Mike Foxtrot, a four-CD and four-LP box set of rare studio and live recordings collected from the band’s extensive audio archives. What’s Your 20 is the other release, a 2-CD ‘essential tracks’ package of previously released material

Alpha Mike Foxtrot gathers up performances from soundtracks, tribute albums and B-sides and features 64-pages of liner notes that include track-by-track recollections from Jeff Tweedy, with notes from other band members and further recollections, as well as an array of archive and rare photography. Unlike What’s Your 20?, the rarities set is being issued on vinyl.

Both releases are out on 1 December 2014.
