Elliott Smith Studio Rarities
posted June 24, 2024 #
I'm not sure I'd ever make it through the whole collection but I am quite impressed by these two compilations of every Elliott Smith studio recording that fans can get their hands on. Grand Mal: Studio Rarities looks to be 8 discs long* - containing alternate mixes, unreleased songs, et al. The Moon is a Sickle Cell is a similar gathering of tracks but updated somewhat more regularly.
Generally speaking, these kinds of compilations are reserved for super fans. Do you want to hear the different mixes from Larry Crane or Fritz Michaud? Do you want to hear Smith cover The Beatles multiple times? I don't always answer yes to questions like that but in this case I think I might!
Of course it is 2024, so the Grand Mal comp is streaming on YouTube if you prefer it that way.
