Elliott Smith – Roman Candle – VINYL LP

Description

Roman Candle was recorded and released while Smith was still in Heatmiser. According to Benjamin Nugent’s biography Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing, Smith recorded the album in the basement of the home of then-girlfriend and Heatmiser manager JJ Gonson.

The album was never intended for release, as Smith only expected to get a deal for a 7-inch single; however, after Gonson played the album for Cavity Search, they immediately requested permission to release it in its entirety. Smith at first hesitated, and then allowed permission.
