Either / Or

Product Information

On a happier note, last year, to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary, we were given this expanded edition, which benefits from new sound remastering, and nine bonus tracks, all but one of which had never been released before. With a profound influence on the alternative music scene, Smith's intricate guitar work and poignant lyrics shine throughout the album. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases.

I try to keep this disto’s choice of titles within the realms of volume eleven, but this is one of those folky, lo-fi albums that everybody needs to own and cherish, regardless of your religion. Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Other highlights are the breezy pop of Ballad Of Big Nothing ("All spit and spite/you're up all night and down every day"), the druggy drawl of Punch and Judy ("I used to like it here/now it just bums me out to remember") and the self-loathing of Rose Parade ("I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing/it's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine/and when they clean the streets/I'll be the only shit that's left behind). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If you're an Elliott Smith fan - this is a must; even if you want to start listening to him, this is a must.Book-ended by the two singles "Speed Trials" and "Ballad of Big Nothing", Either/Or did not chart in the US but was acclaimed by critics. The 20th anniversary edition of Elliott Smith's beloved third album Either / Or, newly remastered for this release. One of our favorite Elliott Smith records in an edition of 600 copies on 'Alameda Twist' blue, pink and white colored vinyl. Although Elliott's music was always largely on the (wonderfully) depressing scale, 'Either/Or', though only occasionally, actually has it's more upbeat pop moments, but every track, upbeat or otherwise, is a little work of art.

My vinyl label is a canary, dry yellow with a glossy lyric sheet inside, displaying the credits as well. Twenty years on from its initial release, Elliott Smith’s much-beloved third album Either / Or receives an Expanded Edition reissue. In questa edizione un secondo cd con uno sciamanico live, più due tracce alternative alle originali, con un libricino molto ben fatto, con testi e foto, piacevole da sfogliare. Following on from Roman Candle, Smith's startling debut, Elliott Smith is another work of lone ambition. Elliott Smith had ambitions to make records with a Beatlesque sound - but zero interest in Beatlesque fame - when he recorded Either/Or.The late Elliott Smith has now achieved a real cult following, and is largely regarded as some kind of musical 'genius'.
