All the albums released during his tragically short life were esteemed by critics and held close to the heart by fans, but Elliott Smith’s breakthrough album—the one that saw him expand his sound and earn a major-label contract—was this 1997 masterwork. He performs all the instruments on "Either/Or" and delivers some of his most arresting songs: "Speed Trials," "Between the Bars," "Angeles" and more. This reissue (CD or double gatefold vinyl) adds the unreleased song "I Figured You Out," alternate versions of "New Monkey" and "Bottle Up and Explode!," live recordings from the 1997 Yoyo a GoGo fest in Olympia, Washington and more.
