On December 1st, Wilco will re-release their first two albums, 1995’s A.M. and 1996’s Being There. Each deluxe reissue will include a number of rare demos and alternate takes, as well as some never-before-released tracks. The band previously shared the newly unearthed “Myrna Lee” from the A.M. sessions, and today they’re unveiling the Being There outtake “Dynamite My Soul”.

The gentle track finds Jeff Tweedy’s soft vocals rising and falling over some sweet, skipping acoustic guitar. “I brought myself to come to you/ Wasn’t that hard,” he sings. “90 miles exactly I traveled/ To your backyard.” Take a listen below.
The A.M. reissue comes on CD or double-LP, while the larger Being There is being packaged as a five-CD or four-LP collection. In addition to the remastered album, both deluxe versions feature 15 outtakes, demos, and alternative versions, as well as a four-song set the band played on November 13th, 1996 at KCRW. The CD also includes a double-disc live album recorded at The Troubadour the day prior, November 12th, 1996.
Pre-orders for each set are available via Wilco World, where fans can snag one of 2,500 limited edition colored vinyl versions of each record.
