What I'm really hoping for is that his family decides to compile a boxset of his unreleased stuff, as I'm sure there's a ton of it lying around.

Perhaps we'll have to wait a few more years, but hopefully the urge to make some money from his spirit will get us a boxset out of this.

Apparentally theres a ton of stuff from "Basement" that is still unreleased. We need a set for the fans with all his albums. I want it so bad.

If the quality is as good as the Basement II demos I don't mind. Otherwise, there's really nothing worse than hearing an obviously half-finished, half-hearted piece of work.

douglas: The whole thing can be found here.

all of those links are dead and that megaupload site doesn't seem to work either

If I knew how to do the YSI thing, I'd be all over it. Sorry man, I'm incompetant at this particular part.

Also I'm drunk. C'mon, I'm doin' my best here.

The megaupload site works. You've got to wait about a minute or so until the timer counts down to zero. Otherwise, like someone else said, it's up on slsk.

okay, I got these somewhere else. they're pretty amazing, there's no reason to not officially release this whole collection, since none of it sounds any worse than the s/t album except for the first song. Nice to have a recording of Thirteen too.

Yeah, and a studio version of "Amanda Cecilia" too. Soooo good.

one year passes...

From Sweet Addy:

On May 8, 2007, Kill Rock Stars will release a double CD of music by Elliott Smith entitled New Moon. The album contains 24 songs recorded 1994-1997, a prolific time in Smith's career, when he recorded his self-titled album and Either/Or (both also released by Kill Rock Stars).

i heard about this last month, cool that it's coming out. I wonder how different these mixes will be from the demos?
