unposed_question Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Has anyone heard if Wilco is planning to offer any special downloads if you buy the album? They have done that for both YHF and AGIB, so I wonder if they will do anything upon the release in May or further down the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsjbraz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm gonna hold off buying the album for a while his time, I'm sick of them rereleasing the album with bonus disc/extra tracks etc 6 months down the line, I had to rebuy the last two albums and not gonna fall for it again. mp3 downloads aren't the same as having the actual bonus disc IMHO!

I wasn't aware they offered actual discs for those extra tracks. I thought it was just through the internet by inserting the original CD. Are you in the States?

Are you in the States?Yeah, as far as I know, anyone who bought YHF and AGIB got access to the bonus tracks online free of charge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah, as far as I know, anyone who bought YHF and AGIB got access to the bonus tracks online free of charge. There were some copies printed that included bonus discs, definitely considered an import if you are in the States. I saw a copy of YHF that had the bonus disc at TreeHouse records here in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsjbraz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah, as far as I know, anyone who bought YHF and AGIB got access to the bonus tracks online free of charge. They offered you those as mp3 downloads as an an alternative to rebuying the cds but I'm sure there are enough completists amongst us who wanted the proper 2CD version with lossless versions.

caliber66 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well, then that's your choice. They offer the music to you free, but if you want it to be CD-quality, you have to pay for it. Seems fair enough to me. They could just not offer the bonus tracks at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a_quiet_domino Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Whatever bonus they release, I hope it includes rockin' version of "let's not get carried away." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danelectro Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I don't mind buying it twice especially since I can use the "regular" release as a beater for playing in my car and PC. I own both the YHF and AGIB 2 disc and I only play those once in a while, usually just the bonus disc. For me it's a cool thing to have even if I can access the tracks for free.

redeyedndblue Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Didn't see this anywhere else: Welcome to the Sky Blue Sky Pre-Order Store. You can pre-order the brand new Wilco album in CD or gatefold double-LP formats, along with an exclusive tee shirt and a new tote bag. Pre-Ordering here through the Wilco Store will get you a couple of very cool bonuses: Every album pre-order will get a free video download (compatible with iTunes, iPods, or playable in Quicktime on your computer) of Wilco performing a track from Sky Blue Sky at their loft. The video will be available for download within the next few weeks and we will notify you when it is ready. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 along with an exclusive tee shirt and a new tote bag.It's about time they came up with a tote bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicburto Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Nice - thanks for that, I just pre-ordered the LP and it comes with a cd of the album. Looks like O'Rourke didn't mix it this time around. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for that prize of all their albums on vinyl - that would be sweet. The others arent bad either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhh4321 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Buying things from Music Today (the company that runs the wilco store) is probably the biggest joke in the world. 13.25 for shipping to be guaranteed on the release date? 4.75 shipping is the cheapest option which comes over a week after the release date. I think i'll skip the contest (and tote bag) and walk to the record store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If I recall correctly, I pre-ordered AGIB for delivery on the release date, and didn't receive it until the day after. And some people who'd paid the lower shipping rate got it the day before. I'm a sucker for the "exclusive tee shirt" offers, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Buying an "import" CD of music made in the USA is almost as insulting as buying pharmaceuticals that were researched, developed, and made in the USA from Canada at a reduced price. I'll have to check out the tote bag deal. I still have the Ramones/Wilco shirt. Even though I look like a hog in it (it shrunk, I got bigger ), it still gets a lot of "cool shirt" comments.

Atticus Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I think Wilco should include tattoos like Kiss did for Alive II. I bought two copies in first grade... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WayneBradley Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Does anyone know for sure what is meant by "As a bonus, each vinyl copy will also include a copy of the album on CD." Does that mean an "official" CD thats offered in the CD offer, or is it some form of copy of the LP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
