(I should just try stopping the album after "Someday Soon" and see how it works if the first 12 tracks were THE album proper.)

Probably an unpopular opinion but in my edit I would lose the maudlin epics that open each disc. I get that they're important breakthroughs that point the way to the future direction of the band, but Tweedy's not really there yet imo, and when I reach for this album I'm looking for trad/Americana-era Wilco sounds, not Important Artistic Songs. I would keep all the genre pastiche and probably end up with:
