Thanks for this video Chris. Good stuff. Being there is my favorite Wilco album and the cover is simplistic perfection. Definitely a time and place album for me. I just moved to SF around the time this came out. Saw them on this tour at the Fillmore with Bettie Serveert. Amazing show. Amazing night.
A great video, Chris and great selections. My favorite album cover is Darkness On The Edge Of Town. It was my first Springsteen album and the look on Bruce’s face on it just drew me in and my love of Springsteen has continued unabated since. Also, thank you Chris, for turning me into a Wilco head. I always knew about them but your passion is what made me take the deep dive. I haven’t looked back since and the joy they’ve brought me is immeasurable.
My Deluxe "Tim" arrived yesterday as well. Listened to the whole thing while working today. Which meant I heard a lot of versions of 'Can't Hardly Wait' today. I do really enjoy the new mix, although it is going to take some time for my ears to adjust to it. I get why folks bag on the sound of the original release version of "Tim", but I've just gotten so used to it over the years. To my ears, that is how all of those classic songs sound. The live set in the collection is a lot of fun too. As far as classic album covers, here are ten that immediately came to mind, in no particular order: Scott Walker - "Scott 3" Neko Case - "Blacklisted" Sparks - "Propaganda" The Clash - "London Calling" Betty Davis - "They Say I'm Different" Townes Van Zandt - "Live at the Old Quarter" The Band - "The Band" PJ Harvey - "To Bring You My Love" The Flying Burrito Bros - "The Gilded Palace of Sin" Miles Davis - "Bitches Brew" And I'd add Willie Nelson's "Spirit" as my honorable mention.
My copy of TIM is being delivered tomorrow. I am so excited! This is possibly my favorite album of all time. I was going to stream it today but I am going to wait until tomorrow to listen to the real thing.
Hi There, just compiled a list of some of my favourite album covers. I thought I would share if that’s cool. Husker Du - New Day Rising Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist Oliver Nelson - Skull Sessions Cramps - Off The Bone Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Violent Femmes - S/T Johnny Cash - American Recordings Beastie Boys - Paul’s Boutique Bob Dylan - Freewheelin’ Iggy Pop - Raw Power Also, wondering if you’ve ever heard the album ‘How Was Tomorrow’ by The Cash Brothers? Absolute classic, especially the song Nebraska! ( unfortunately not available on vinyl as far as I can see) Loving the channel, discovered some great new albums through some of your recommendations. Cheers, Jim from the UK.
I'm waiting for my copy of the new "Tim" box to arrive. I loved what they did with "Don't Tell A Soul" (re-mixed as "Dead Man's Pop"). And let's just take a moment to appreciate the idea of calling a record "Tim." (I think of the wizard guarding the bridge in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail": "They call me... Tim." Maybe that was the inspiration, I don't know.) The Mats were THE band of the '80s for me, and although I cycle through which of their albums is my favorite, "Tim" has long been up top for the reasons you mention. I love the way your mind works. As for album covers, the first that come to mind for me are Isaac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Soul" (just the top of his shaved head), Sonny Rollins' "Way Out West," Joni Mitchell's "Hejira," "The Exciting Wilson Pickett," Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde," Steely Dan's "Katy Lied," Talking Heads' "More Songs About Buildings And Food"... I'm just looking around the room because I have framed copies of all these on my walls. I guess I like bold graphics and cover images that convey a feeling, an atmosphere, even if -- or maybe especially because -- they're slightly out of focus, like "Tonight's the Night"...
Great cover choices. Being There…totally came to mind as you were starting to count them down. I love “Joy.” “Can’t Let Go” is the only one I don’t absolutely love. Let It Bleed Tim…a revelation. So many lyrics jump out now. “Swingin’ Party” was the only one I heard some things in the mix I didn’t think worked, but I’ll likely warm up to it.
Hi sir We have very similar music tastes. Love Marah, Wilco, Jayhawks and Springsteen. I have the original Tim on cd and would love to get the box set, but the current price is just too much. I wish they would release the new mix as a single CD. Stuart
I had no idea about this Tim. You found my sweet spot. Now I have one on the way. I listened to Left of the Dial from the new mix and got those goosebumps. Thanks for sharing. Love to Bennett too.
Got it and I have never heard something so fine as that mix of here comes a regular. Really made me emotional as this record does. Thanks for letting me know again this was out there. Hope you’re enjoying it too.
My personal favorite record sleeve would be Tygers Of Pan Tang's "Wild Cats" LP back in 1980, love that Tiger image, followed closely by "The Age Of Plastic" LP by The Buggles sleeve art, also in 1980, but there's many of course, great choices.
Ed elevated this cult classic that had way to much spongy reverb and crap, which was originally mixed with headphones to one of the great rock albums of all time. It's night and day.
Yeah, that horrible reverb on the snare drum. That's all I can hear when I listen to it. It's like someone listened to Husker's production and actually liked it. I really wish someone would remix Husker Du's later albums.
Cool picks (and pics) ... Most of these are my favorites, too ... The Mats remixes are wonderful, and nice to see some love for the Wrens. What an album The Meadowlands is ... Too bad they fell apart after that. Gotta have an og Tonight's the Night with the shitty blotter paper cover for the best representation of the cover art tho

Wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing. Darkness was my #11 😊
Some really nice album cover art from some great artist. It might be so that you have started a thread now. Cheers
Replacements are awesome. Thanks for the info on the box set. Enjoyed watching. 😊
Thanks for stopping by!

PJ Harvey - "To Bring You My Love"
The Flying Burrito Bros - "The Gilded Palace of Sin"
Miles Davis - "Bitches Brew"
And I'd add Willie Nelson's "Spirit" as my honorable mention.
That Townes cover is exceptional.

It's really incredible. Maybe the best reissue ever, no joke. It's just tremendous. Can't wait to listen to the live show today.

That’s a great list. Daydream Nation, especially.
Great video and we share a lot of faves. My personal favorite LP cover (without any comment on the music or the title): KISS Rock and Roll Over

Blonde on Blonde just missed my cut!
I saw Tommy riding his bike up the street today ✌️
Jesperson has a memoir coming out.
My friend Lysa did the graphic design of The Meadowlands, although she was just following directions from Charles.
Nice!

I love meadowlands . I’m still hoping for rerelease since the originals go for a crazy price
It's not a church, it's a town hall in the township of Hollywood, Minn.

Very welcome!

@@TheMikemos another improvement that I noticed is the bass drum is more prominent,

I think The Wrens are close to a new record but we’ve also been hearing that for a decade 😊
Well … I guess it’s a matter of taste.
Good and bad taste.
Absolutely.
