'Cecilia/Amanda' is a reworking of that song with almost completely different lyrics. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Either/Or, the third album by my late friend and co-conspirator Elliott Smith.I was asked by his family and label, Kill Rock Stars, to oversee the remastering process for this record Either/Or: Expanded Edition, source and mix bonus tracks, as well as to come up with text for the liner notes. An earlier version of this song was initially written and recorded by Elliott's high school band, Stranger Than Fiction, and was known as 'Time is Ours Now'. It was recorded at Jackpot! Recording Studio in 1997 by Larry Crane.

To celebrate the addition of these amazing records KRS are giving away a free, previously unreleased song entitled 'Cecilia/Amanda'.

With the addition of these two records Kill Rock Stars is now the home for all of Elliott Smith's independent releases: Roman Candle, Elliott Smith, Either/Or, From a Basement on the Hill, and New Moon. From a Basement on the Hill was released posthumously in 2004 on ANTI- records. Kill Rock Stars will also be releasing Roman Candle on vinyl for the first time in the U.S. Roman Candle has been remastered for the re-release by Larry Crane, editor of Tape Op Magazine and archivist for Elliott's family. Food for thought.Kill Rock Stars is very excited to announce that on April 6th, 2010 we will be adding Elliott Smith's Roman Candle and From a Basement on the Hill records to our catalog.

Elliott Smith - Either Or-20th Anniversary Expanded Edition. There are too many variations and Kill Rockstars has always been an excellent steward of the Elliott Smith they own and what they release. Personally, unless the seller was able to convince me or show proof that what they have is before 2002 I would not seek these copies out. This record has never really gone out of print and it looks like there are many variations but some of them have clues as to when they were pressed. My pressing sounds phenomenal all these years later, still looks glossy with faint scuff marks, no pops, clicks, surface noise, no wear on cover and I’ve played the holy hell out of it. Pretty sure I paid $12-$14 so I’ll be expecting a refund from the Record Exchange in Boise Idaho. S/T and Either Or are listed for $9 on the insert.

It has canary yellow labels, doesn’t feel like 180g but close, has glossy black lyric sheet with white lettering, matches these matrix numbers, has 6808.2 lightly scratched out and an insert for Kill Rockstars 2000 releases and what they have planned for 2001.
