Friday Download: Elliott SmithĬlick the link to download the torrent file. Recorded in several locations mostly in Portland, Oregon while Smith was still in Heatmiser and produced by Smith, Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf, Either/Or was released on Februthrough record label Kill Rock Stars following the demise of Heatmiser. To preview what’s in the download, you can listen to Elliott Smith cover The Beatle’s “Blackbird”. Either/Or is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. We hand-picked three shows that we love – for free download below. Though we lost Smith a decade ago, you can rest easy knowing the Internet Archive has wonderfully preserved his live shows. Dark and often melancholy, Smith’s music sounds the way lying with your face to the floor feels. Smith cites Bob Dylan and The Beatles among his major influences, and it’s easy to see (hear) why. Beloved by fellow artists, his songs fill the soundtracks of critically-acclaimed films: Good Will Hunting, American Beauty and The Royal Tenenbaums. In today’s Friday Download, we have music from Elliott Smith: The widely-celebrated folk-punk singer with a huge cult following. Food for thought.For fans of Colin Meloy, Bright Eyes, Bob Dylan, Iron & Wine, Okkervil River, M. My copy of Roman Candle from around 2017 is every bit as phenomenal as this pressing.

There are too many variations and Kill Rockstars has always been an excellent steward of the Elliott Smith they own and what they release. Some of his albums, XO and Either/Or among. Personally, unless the seller was able to convince me or show proof that what they have is before 2002 I would not seek these copies out. Elliott Smith was catapulted to the status of indie rock star after performing at the 1997 Academy Awards.

This record has never really gone out of print and it looks like there are many variations but some of them have clues as to when they were pressed. My pressing sounds phenomenal all these years later, still looks glossy with faint scuff marks, no pops, clicks, surface noise, no wear on cover and I’ve played the holy hell out of it. Pretty sure I paid $12-$14 so I’ll be expecting a refund from the Record Exchange in Boise Idaho. S/T and Either Or are listed for $9 on the insert. It has canary yellow labels, doesn’t feel like 180g but close, has glossy black lyric sheet with white lettering, matches these matrix numbers, has 6808.2 lightly scratched out and an insert for Kill Rockstars 2000 releases and what they have planned for 2001.
