Kill Rock Stars are to release a double-disc collection of rare Elliott Smith material later this year.
New Moon features a variety of songs taken from 1995 to 1997; during that period Kill Rock Stars released both Smith's self-titled LP and Either/Or, the album that ultimately brought his talents to a wider audience. Both are available on Domino in the UK, who will also handle the domestic release of New Moon.
The tracklisting for New Moon, released on May 7 in the States, looks a lot like this:
Disc 1
'Angel in the Snow'
'Talking to Mary'
'High Times'
'New Monkey'
'Looking Over My Shoulder'
'Going Nowhere'
'Riot Coming'
'All Cleaned Out'
'First Timer'
'Go By'
'Miss Misery' (Early Version)
'Thirteen'
Disc 2
'Georgia Georgia'
'Whatever (Folk Song in C)'
'Big Decision'
'Placeholder'
'New Disaster'
'Seen How Things Are Hard'
'Fear City'
'Either/Or'
'Pretty Mary K' (Other Version)
'Almost Over'
'See You Later'
'Half Right'
A portion of the record's profits will go to Outside In, a service based in Portland which helps homeless youths.

WOOOOOOOOOOO
I don' suppose
the song 'Thirteen' on Disc 1 is a Big Star cover?
yes
it is.
I already have most of this stuff...But still
:)
new disaster
is elliott smiths best song. FACT
It is
I'm slightly peeved off by this. They've taken a load of stuff which was previously available, legally, for free, and decided to charge people for it, as well as stipulating that the songs no longer be available, legally, for free. Some of the profits go to charity, which makes it a bit harder to be bitter about it, but still, they could have put together a disc of A-sides and album cuts, coupled it with a disc of rarities, leaving them available for free, and donated some of the profits from that to charity instead.
ah
so THATS where all the songs off elliottsmithbsides.com went...
Cool
I don't know
Seems fair enough to me.
I'm officially
happier than 30 seconds ago...
yessssss
i love placeholder :D:D:D can't wait for this
Grand!
I think this is fantastic, as well as owning a proper copy now, the money goes to a very worthy cause. They got it spot on. I am bewildered about the ommission of Amanda Cecilia, which I love best of all the unheard tracks....does anyone know if this is just under a different title in the above listing?
This is
excellent news.........
the working day just got so much easier now I have this knowledge
.
i love the guitar on angel in the snow.
cant wait for this album
Hmmm
The versions that are available legally for free are hardly release quality though. They're studio demos. We're going to get cleaned up, properly mastered versions of these songs. That's better than re-releasing songs that are already available in the shops, surely?
I'm just disappointed that 'Abused' didn't make the cut. 'Cecilia/Amanda' would have been nice too, but I suppose they both might have come from the Dreamworks days.
.
yeah but these were only from the krs time from the s/t album and either/or.
