Elliott Smith
If Elliott Smith hadn’t tragically died on October 21, 2003 at age 34, today he would have turned 50. In honor of his birthday, UMe have digitally surprise released deluxe reissues of 1998’s XO and 2000’s Figure 8, both originally released by DreamWorks Records. Each comes loaded with bonus tracks, such as B-sides, demos, remixes, and acoustic versions. And while none of the bonus tracks are previously unreleased, many haven’t been officially released digitally before. Check out the tracklist for each reissue below and also stream them both below (they are also available as downloads).
Also, Under the Radar conducted the last ever interview and photo-shoot with Smith before his passing and you can read that here.
