The jacket is a fold over style with art on the front and back. “Punch and Judy” is the biggest change here as it is a complete reworking of the Either/Or version and is now more upbeat while taking on a new life here of its own. Best Elliott Smith Songs: 20 Essential Tracks 20: ‘Either/Or’ The planned title track to Either/Or didn’t actually make the cut for the album, though it’s stronger than some of the songs. “Angeles” puts Smith’s vocals out front a bit more which definitely highlights the lyrics even more while “Ballad of Big Nothing” also gives you a slightly different vocal. Most of the songs are close to their originals like on “Alameda” you get a few different lyrics but the song is still as heartbreaking as ever. The tracks here are exactly as titled as the 7-inch features different versions of “Angeles”, “Alameda”, “Ballad of Big Nothing” and “Punch and Judy” from Smith’s 1997 record Either/Or. The songs here have been available digitally before but now they get the premium treatment and have their very on vinyl home. Either/Or was recorded in several locations, mostly in Portland, Oregon while Smith was still a member of Heatmiser and was produced by Smith, Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf. Either/Or is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. This was a nice Record Store Day release for me as anything by Elliott Smith is an instant draw. Listen free to Elliott Smith Either/Or (Speed Trials, Alameda and more).
