2 Meter Sessions (RSD 26)

Never before released recordings – Amsterdam 1997 & 2000. For the first time ever on vinyl. Side A revisits the Sound of Lies era with “Trouble,” “Sound of Lies,” and “Big Star” in alternate acoustic versions, plus “Sister Cry,” extended from the 1992 Hollywood Town Hall era with loose, expressive instrumental interplay. Side B highlights the Smile era with “Somewhere in Ohio,” “Mr. Wilson,” “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me,” “What Led Me to This Town,” and “Smile.”

These performances hum with warmth and space, capturing a band reconnecting with the heart of their songs. Each copy includes three signed postcards with a black-and-white session still and band members’ personal note, plus access to an archival video interview with Gary Louris and Marc Perlman. “If someone really gets our music, they feel it – it goes beyond the surface.” – The Jayhawks
