This month one of the crown jewels gets a new vinyl lease on life: The Boatman's Call, originally released in 1997, is perhaps a little more of simmer than the full boil of the previous year's Murder Ballads, but in its restraint it. Proof needed ? Well, two tracks are available to listen to right now – well in advance of the March 10th release date (19th for the LP). The early discography of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds has been seeing a gradual reissue since late last year. Whilst this surely makes for a gorgeous collection – the more important thing is that it’ll be an essential listen for longtime fans and newcomers alike. The double LP is packaged in a gatefold jacket that includes an insert of the original liner notes, a postcard of the original master tapes, and several never-before seen photos. The second disc features five live multi-track recordings from the Yo Yo A Go Go Festival in Olympia WA in 1997, as well as three previously unreleased studio recordings and one B-side gem. This expanded release fits on to a double LP or a double CD package and features the original tracks carefully remastered from original tapes under the supervision of Larry Crane. So here it is, the twentieth anniversary expanded edition of Either/Or.
There’s been no dimming in the interest in his music, and there’s no reason why more of it shouldn’t be released. Fourteen years have passed since Elliot Smith died, and twenty have passed since the release of Either/Or. KRS620Release date: March 10th, 2017To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Elliott Smith’s best-selling and greatly beloved album, Either/Or, Kill Rock Stars proudly presents Either/Or: Expanded Edition.
