Wilco have unveiled the new deluxe reissue of their 1999 album Summerteeth. Stream it below via Spotify.
This version, which comes packaged as a four-disc set, features a Bob Ludwig remaster of the original album, as well as loads of demos, outtakes, and live recordings. There are previously unreleased demos of songs like “Tried and True”, “I’m Always in Love”, and “She’s a Jar”, as well as alternate versions of tracks like “My Darling”, “Every Little Thing”, “Viking Dan”, and countless others.
On top of all that, the band included a live recording of a 1999 concert at The Boulder Theatre in Boulder, Colorado, featuring songs like “Candyfloss”, “Hotel Arizona”, “She’s A Jar”, and more. And if you want even more, a limited edition vinyl reissue also includes a 10-song performance from Tower Records that was recorded just days before Summerteeth dropped in March, 1999.
The whole thing comes packaged with an altered version of the album’s iconic artwork, and the physical versions come with new interviews with band members Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt, and liner notes from MOJO editor John Mulvey.

Earlier this year, Wilco debuted a new song called “Tell Your Friends” during a quarantine performance on Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
