All encased in 2-piece box (slipcase in slipcase), holographic foil type on spineFor the A Ghost Is Born recording, Wilco was Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Leroy Bach, Glenn Kotche, and Mikael Jorgensen; Jim O'Rourke, who mixed the band's previous release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, co-produced the album with Wilco. Leroy Bach left Wilco at the completion of the sessions and the band announced the addition of two new members: Pat Sansone and Nels Cline. Sansone and Cline toured with Wilco to promote AGIB and that lineup has remained unchanged since 2004. As Tweedy said to Mehr for his new liner note, \"Making that record, and then finding this lineup, that was the start of something-of having a band that can play anything. That's why, twenty years later, we're still here and still going. \"Wilco first began sessions for what would become A Ghost Is Born in early 2002 at Chicago's Soma E. M. S., where they had mixed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Much of the album was tracked live in the studio with O'Rourke and engineer Chris Shaw. They also reunited there with engineer and soon-to-be-bandmate Mikael Jorgensen. At Soma, the band began sketching out music using Tweedy's notebooks of lyrics, poetry, and prose. Mehr notes: \"In between more traditional song tracking, the group would engage in a series of conceptual improvisations in the studio. These musical experiments, broadly known as 'Fundamentals'... were part of what Kotche said was 'an attempt to search for a new group identity. To see what we could make this band into. '\"In the fall of 2003, the band relocated to New York to finish recording at Sear Sound. \"It seemed like the band needed to get out of Chicago, get out of the working mode they'd been in, and only be thinking about making a record,\" O'Rourke told Mehr. There, playing together in the corner of a large studio, the album began to take it's final shape. Emerging from a period of addiction and rehab, Tweedy discussed how he feels about A Ghost Is Born in retrospect. As he told Mehr, \"I was worried the album was going to feel like something dark and not me anymore. But the album was ahead of me as a person. It was the part of me that I was trying to preserve-enthusiastic and furious about the world, as well as open and loving. I reached that in the music, before I could get there emotionally on my own. \"\u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 At Least That's What You Said\u003cbr\u003e2 Hell Is Chrome\u003cbr\u003e3 Spiders (Kidsmoke)\u003cbr\u003e4 Muzzle of Bees\u003cbr\u003e5 Hummingbird\u003cbr\u003e6 Handshake Drugs\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Wishful Thinking\u003cbr\u003e2 Company in My Back\u003cbr\u003e3 I'm a Wheel\u003cbr\u003e4 Theologians\u003cbr\u003e5 Less Than You Think\u003cbr\u003e6 The Late Greats\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 3 -\u003cbr\u003e1 At Least That's What You Said (8\/13\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e2 Hell Is Chrome (10\/5\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e3 Spiders (Kidsmoke) [9\/28\/03 Soma-Chicago Version]\u003cbr\u003e4 Muzzle of Bees (7\/15\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e5 At Least That's What You Said (8\/13\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e6 Hell Is Chrome (10\/5\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e7 Spiders (Kidsmoke) [9\/28\/03 Soma-Chicago Version]\u003cbr\u003e8 Muzzle of Bees (7\/15\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 4 -\u003cbr\u003e1 I'm a Wheel (August 2002 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e2 Theologians (3\/19\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e3 Less Than You Think (11\/11\/03 Sear Sound-NYC Version)\u003cbr\u003e4 The Late Greats (7\/19\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e5 Kicking Television (3\/18\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e6 The High Heat (2\/5\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e7 Panthers (March 2003 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e8 Diamond Claw (3\/21\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e9 Bob Dylan's 49th Beard (June 2002 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e10 More Like the Moon (2\/8\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e11 Improbable Germany (10\/7\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 5 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Handshake Drugs (First Version, 6\/26\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e2 Hummingbird (February 2002 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e3 The High Heat (2\/4\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e4 Spiders (Kidsmoke) [February 2002 Soma-Chicago Version]\u003cbr\u003e5 Diamond Claw (March 2003 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e6 Muzzle of Bees (October 2003 Sear Sound-NYC Version)\u003cbr\u003e7 Like a Stone (11\/10\/03 Sear Sound-NYC Version)\u003cbr\u003e8 Leave Me (Like You Found Me) [6\/26\/02 Soma-Chicago Version]\u003cbr\u003e9 Losing Interest (11\/11\/03 Sear Sound-NYC Version)\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 6 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Old Maid (6\/26\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e2 Spiders (Kidsmoke) [August 2002 Soma-Chicago Version]\u003cbr\u003e3 Panthers (October 2003 Sear Sound-NYC Version)\u003cbr\u003e4 Muzzle of Bees (7\/16\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e5 Diamond Claw (10\/9\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e6 Losing Interest (7\/20\/03 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e7 Spiders (Kidsmoke) [October, 2003 Soma-Chicago Version]\u003cbr\u003e8 The Thanks I Get (6\/26\/02 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e9 Two Hat Blues (March 2003 Soma-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e10 Improbable Germany (January 2002 the Loft-Chicago Version)\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 7 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Muzzle of Bees (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e2 Company in My Back (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e3 I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e4 A Shot in the Arm (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e5 I'm the Man Who Loves You (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 8 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Poor Places (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e2 Spiders (Kidsmoke) [Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04]\u003cbr\u003e3 Hell Is Chrome (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e4 Handshake Drugs (Live at the Wang Center, Boston, Ma 10\/1\/04)\u003cbr\u003e5 Jesus, Etc.
