The upcoming deluxe 20th anniversary reissue of Wilco’s A Ghost Is Born is decidedly comprehensive.

The box set will feature a staggering 65 previously unreleased tracks, which will be made up of outtakes, demos and alternate versions. Not only that, but the collection will also contain a 2004 live show captured at the Wang Center in Boston as well as a series of what the band refer to as a “fundamentals” workshop session for the record.

A Ghost Is Born was the follow-up to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and was produced by the band along with Jim O’Rourke, who also played alongside singer Jeff Tweedy in Loose Fur.

Out February 7th, via Nonesuch, the 2005 Grammy Award winning album will arrive in several different mediums: 9xLP, a 4xCD package or a 9xCD set.
