    Wilco’s debut A.M. doesn’t have the expansive soundstage of later albums, but this pressing offers just a bit more than I was expecting. A standout example is Box Full of Letters, where the competing guitars remain distinct without getting muddled, and this is the best Dash I think I’ve heard. Some have noted sibilance on this VMP release, but I don’t hear it. Instead, what stands out is how dead quiet the pressing is—if you’re after surface noise, look elsewhere. A solid pressing, maybe not the most dynamic *Wilco* pressing but solid for this release.

      Sounds excellent. Great album and great pressing. The tangerine is translucent and rides flat.

        Lovely pressing, as it is usually the case with VMP, and great album. Lots of greats memories from the time I moved to Chicago.

          Excited to hear the new 2 LP reissue coming out in December 07. Unlike the original, the original studio tracks will be spread out among 3 sides instead of 2. I really hope this eases a lot of the sibilance i've heard on other pressings (hoping new "all analog" remastering as well).

              sibilance throughout the record. too bad. would sound great otherwise. every VMP pressing is terrible. I'm out.

                This is the best sounding record I own. It is dead silent from start to finish. Not a single pop or click, right out of the shrink.
