These twelve outtakes, rough mixes and early versions of songs from Figure 8 offer insight into how Elliott Smith wrote what might have been his most ambitious album. Some are mixed only slightly differently, some have different lyrics, some have no lyrics, some were completely cut from the final album. And even if you're not a fan of insight, it's worth it just for Place Pigalle. It's a crime that song didn't make it.
