From a Basement on the Hill II
~ Release by Elliott Smith (see all versions of this release, 1 available)
Annotation
Although named "From a Basement on the Hill II", most of the tracks on this bootleg are from recording sessions in the mid 1990s, some of them were in fact released as b-sides during this time.
Tracks 7, 9, 15 & 16 ("High Times", "New Disaster", "Almost Over" & "Untitled") are all previously unheard of and most likely to have been recorded during the Basement era.
Tracks 20 & 22 ("The Last Hour" & "Let's Get Lost") appear on the official release of "From a Basement on the Hill".
Tracks 17 & 18 are covers, "Thirteen" is originally by Big Star, "Trouble" by Cat Stevens. Both were recorded during the basement era, shortly before Elliott's death. They are also found the the soundtrack to the film, "Thumbsucker", and recorded for this purpose.
The remaining tracks all definately date from an earlier period to the Basement era, although this doesn't necessarily mean they were not reworked at a later date.
Tracks 1-4 appear on the Either/Or recording sessions
Tracks 5, 13, 14, 19 & 21 appear on the XO recording sessions
Track 8 appears on a compilation titled Yeti, and is probably an outtake from Elliott's self-titled album
Track 10 is a b-side on the Speed Trials EP
Tracks 6, 11 & 12 are very early tracks played live in 1994
Track 13 is a b-side on the Division Day single
