Kill Rock Stars US レコード& CD

Review: To celebrate 20 years of Elliott Smith's much-loved Either/Or, Kill Rock Stars presents a beautifully remastered reissue of the album. Carefully overseen by Larry Crane, archivist of Smith's estate, the original tracks are restored with impeccable attention to detail. While this version focuses on the remastered original LP rather than the expanded edition, it's still a must-have for fans old and new. The album's emotional depth and lyrical genius remain as powerful today as when it first captivated listeners. Complete with an insert of the original liner notes, this reissue serves as a timeless tribute to Smith's legacy.

Review: Elliott Smith's From A Basement On The Hill gets a stunning reissue with brand new digital transfers from the original 1/4" tape mixes, handled by Rob Schnapf and Joanna Bolme. Remastered by Larry Crane and Adam Gonsalves, this release features a deluxe mirror-board gatefold jacket and CD wallet, offering both a visual and sonic upgrade to Smith's final studio album. Originally released posthumously in 2004, From A Basement On The Hill was praised for its rich textures and expanded sound, blending 60s psychedelia with Smith's intimate songwriting. This reissue is a must-have for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
