Elliott Smith - Bottle Up And Explode! (DEMO)

[1980futureclone]

Fuck I can't get passed how many times this scenario has played out in my life.

[xodusattack]

anyone have any idea of who played all of the strings on this tune?

[Chernobylkinsman]

I love the slightly out of tune gramaphone record sound of the strings in this version.

[ganuenen]

i love the fact that es makes several versions of so many of his songs!!!

[pileofkittens]

Wow, this is amazing! Where did you get it?

[saltemann]

epic stuff

[runnersdialzero33]

Not a demo, but an early version.

[beaglehowl]

brilliant. i'm so sad.

[arhyoulistening]

This is such a great find.

[theoneredlion]

wow !

[Vamphaery]

I love all of the harmonies from XO, including the demos. They have this quality of sort of "surrounding" the other tracks. It's like barber shop harmony blended with melancholy Beatles or something, sonically. Hard to describe, but I'm sure fans of his know what I mean.

[tatelabianca]

very well put. know exactly what you're saying. such depth, such beauty. breaks my heart every single time.

[TheClique86]

Yea, this is such a cool version
