Wilco - A.M.

Wilco – A.M. [Rhino High Fidelity Series | Deluxe Audiophile Reissue | Limited to 5,000 Copies]

Originally released in 1995 in the wake of Uncle Tupelo’s breakup, A.M. marked the debut of Wilco and set the foundation for one of the most adventurous American rock bands of the past three decades. Leaning into an alt-country sound that bridged twang and power-pop, the album features early fan favorites like “Box Full of Letters” and “Passenger Side”—songs that quickly became staples of the band’s live shows.

Now reissued as part of the prestigious Rhino High Fidelity series, this deluxe edition elevates the listening experience to a new level. Limited to 5,000 numbered copies, it boasts all-analog mastering by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal for superior sound, and housed in a high-quality tip-on jacket that replicates the original artwork with meticulous detail.

Though A.M. was initially overshadowed by Son Volt’s Trace, history has been kind to Wilco’s debut, revealing it as a charming, pivotal starting point in the band’s evolution—from alt-country roots to experimental rock innovators. This reissue not only preserves that legacy but presents it in the highest fidelity it’s ever been heard on vinyl.
