Elliott Smith "introduction" album out this November

by Ciaran Thompson

Kill Rock Stars, the label that released his second self-titled album in 1995, are set to put out a new Elliott Smith compilation album entitled An Introduction to… on November 2. Like the title suggests, the album will feature songs from all of the late singer’s studio albums and will be released on CD and vinyl.

The release marks the first greatest hits-style album of Smith’s music. It will contain 15 tracks of his most well-known songs such as the Academy Award-nominated “Miss Misery” and other familiar tracks like “Angles” and “Say Yes.” View the complete tracklisting below.

Smith died in 2003 from two stabs wounds to the chest. Originally his death was listed as a suicide, but the report following the autopsy left the case open as a possible homicide.
