Un'introduzione a Elliott Smith (Vinile argento esclusivo indie)

The silver vinyl pressing is stunning and quiet, really lets the intricate fingerpicking shine through on tracks like "Angeles". I've been waiting for a solid compilation that pulls from both the early lo-fi stuff and the major label albums, and this hits every mark perfectly.

The tracklist is a perfect career-spanning mix, pulling deep cuts from his Geffen years alongside the indie stuff—it flows better than I expected. Silver vinyl looks sharp and sound is clean, though I wish the sleeve had a photo insert.

The silver vinyl pressing is gorgeous and dead quiet between tracks, which matters on a collection like this. Getting fourteen songs spanning Roman Candle through From a Basement feels like the perfect intro for anyone who's only heard “Miss Misery.”
