Thanks, Stravinsky, for the YouTube clip, unfortunately I'm at work so I'll have to listen when I get home tonight.

 

Its an alternative version. More optimistic/upbeat. Good song. You can find it online, it was a bside or somethin back in 07

 

Thanks for the additional info. "Impossible Germany" is my favorite Wilco song, so I'm curious to hear this version.

I think the Kicking Television boxset (which is amazing) had about that many pressed and it was pretty easy to find for a couple years.

I was going to say that was before the big "vinyl revival" but you can still order KT on Amazon Canada. I think that was 5,000 copies so it's hard to imagine this selling out in less than a year.

Got this today in the mail. Packaging is thoroughly confusing: box is about 3x thicker than I needs to be (there was a lining of bubble wrap on both sides of the contents). LPs themselves just in regular sleeves along with a thin book. Glad to have it, but they could have put some thought into putting it together (which Wilco usually does).
