When John Lennon passed, I would guess the public outpouring of grief was related to a set of aging ideals that were so intrinsically linked to him. I've heard that said in interviews with fans, and I'd always scoffed at the idea. I am embarrassed to admit it felt like a friend had passed after hearing of his death. Elliott was that one artist I wished I knew personally. Most of us listen to a myriad of artists, and we love all of them differently. Let's keep Elliott's legacy alive, keep buying and listening to his music, and do everything we can to make new fans out of friends, family, associates, strangers and enemies.

If you have any comments, questions or suggestions regarding this compilation, feel free to contact TheKeenGuy at the official Elliott Smith message board at Some of these songs may be available commercially, in which case I encourage you to purchase them. Special thanks goes out to member Marabalos spending countless hours on this and doing an incredible job remastering many of the tracks, and thanks as well to the other sweetaddy members who helped out along the way. The intention for this mix was to craft the tracks into albums for the best listening experience possible, which includes modifying sound quality, adjusting volume, and eliminating dead air between tracks. Since then, more rare recordings have been released or leaked, and many of the songs from the previous mix were featured on 2007's NEW MOON.Īll of these tracks are already available from other sources in earlier generations. It was arranged by member TheKeenGuy and was originally distributed as a 3-disc set in 2006. GRAND MAL is a compilation of Elliott Smith studio recordings that do not appear on Elliott’s full-length albums.
