Elliott Smith's s/t album - 25th Anniversary Edition

When Elliott Smith's self-titled second album came out in 1995, it was ignored by the press but championed by artists from the Beastie Boys to Fugazi. To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of “Elliott Smith”, the Kill Rock Stars label is releasing a special deluxe package, which includes a new remastering of the original record; a coffee table book of previously unseen photographs by JJ Gonson with handwritten lyrics, reminiscences from Smith's friends and colleagues, and previously unseen photographs; and a bonus disc documenting the earliest known recording of Smith performing as a solo act.

We’re so excited for this release! In the meantime, check out this sneak preview of the live recording, listen to "Big Decision (Live at Umbra Penumbra - September 17th, 1994):
