A genuine pop masterpiece boasting a fuller, richer sound, Either/Or was the launching pad that catapulted Elliot Smith from the tiny clubs of Portland to playing the Oscars at The Shrine Auditorium when we was nominated for a song he wrote for Gus Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting.It became the Cinderella story of 1997: the first male marquee act on Kill Rock Stars ascends from the CMJ charts to the Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song with “Miss Misery”—a song that wasn’t on Either/Or, but which embodies everything that has rendered the LP as Smith’s singular masterpiece to this very day.Vinyl, LP, Repress, 180gTracklist:A1 Speed TrialsA2 AlamedaA3 Ballad Of Big NothingA4 Between The BarsA5 Pictures Of MeA6 No Name No. 5B1 Rose ParadeB2 Punch And JudyB3 AngelesB4 Cupid's TrickB5 2:45 AMB6 Say Yes
