Studio Outtakes

New Monkey (Keys)
this is a tiny companion piece/alternate version to "New Monkey" from New Moon. Recorded and mixed by Elliott Smith at Elliott's house in either 1995 or 1996.

I Don't Think I'm Ever Gonna Figure It Out
This song was one of two B-Sides for the "Speed Trials" 7-inch (KRS-266), the other being a slightly different mix of "Angeles" (with no organ at the top of the song). Recorded by Elliott Smith at Elliott's house in either 1995 or 1996. New mix by Larry Crane, May 2016, at Jackpot! Recording Studio.

I Figured You Out
This song was recorded as a demo for Mary Lou Lord, who later recorded a version (produced, performed, recorded, and mixed by Elliott Smith) for her Martian Saints EP (KRS-264). Recorded by Elliott Smith at Heatmiser House in 1995. Mixed by Larry Crane, May 2010, at Jackpot! Recording Studio.

Bottle Up And Explode! (Alternate Version)
This is a complete departure from the later XO version of this song, and not to be confused with "Bottle Up & Explode! (Early Version), a lo-fi keyboard version. Lyrics are completely unique (it was likely intended to be known as "No One Needs to Know"), the tempo is faster, and verse two reads more like a bridge, with an alternate melody. From the 8-track sessions for Either/Or. Recorded by Elliott Smith at Elliott's house, Undercover, Inc., and/or the Heatmiser House in 1995 or 1996. Mixed by Larry Crane, May 2016, at Jackpot! Recording Studio.
