Elliott Smith- Elliott Smith - 25th Anniversary Remaster Deep Purple Color Vinyl Record
Elliott Smith's self-titled second album is where the hushed, double-tracked voice and intricate fingerpicking that defined him came fully into focus. Recorded on a four-track in early 1995 at friends' houses in Portland, it is a stark, close-up record about addiction, loneliness and the people who drift in and out of both.
"Needle in the Hay" opens it with a nervous, relentless strum that Wes Anderson later used to devastating effect in The Royal Tenenbaums. "Clementine", "Coming Up Roses" and "The Biggest Lie" show how much melody Smith could fit into two and a half minutes of near-whisper.
This 25th anniversary edition from Kill Rock Stars was remastered from the original source material and pressed on deep purple color vinyl as an indie-store exclusive. For anyone collecting Smith's catalogue, it is the most beautiful way to own the record that set up Either/Or and XO.
A quiet record that rewards close listening. Give it the turntable time it deserves.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
