Columbia/Legacy has released the tracklists for its expanded reissues of Uncle Tupelo's first three albums, which will include previously unreleased material, as well as compilation cuts and many b-sides. As might be expected from the raucous-yet-twangy ambassadors of alt-country, Uncle Tupelo's selection of material was wildly eclectic: the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Sin City", reverent nods to The Stooges and Soft Boys, and most bizarrely, a send-up of the theme from the hoary 70s melodrama The Waltons.

The previously unreleased material includes demos of some of Uncle Tupelo's most beloved songs, including "No Depression", "Watch Me Fall", and "Grindstone". Collector scum will weep all over their Mylar when they learn that both bonus cuts from the super-expensive vinyl edition of 89-93: An Anthology ("Sin City" and the previously unreleased "Left in the Dark") are appended to No Depression.

All three albums were originally issued on Rockville Records, and have gone out of print in the last couple of years; the group's fourth and final album, Anodyne, was released on Reprise and remains available. As previously reported, Columbia/Legacy's expanded reissues are due on March 11th. Tracklists:
