Elliott Smith
Heaven Adores You Soundtrack (180g) Vinyl 2LP

Soundtrack to the posthumous documentary for the late Elliott Smith. The film of the same title has been making the rounds and got all the record store clerks of a certain age all types of excited. The soundtrack, carefully curated for the film, is a heavy dose of incredible. 20 tracks in total comprised of demos, unreleased tracks, and alternate takes... yeah, talking hardcore E Smith nerd out here. The opener is a 14 year old Smith finger picking and the album plays out in a loose chronological order with impressive home recordings, some Heatmiser stuff, and live solo material. Pressed on 180g vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.
