Elliott Smith - Bottle Up and Explode! (Summer 1997 Rehearsal)

This is yet another version of Bottle Up with lyrical differences to what ended up being released. Recorded at some point probably late summer 1997. I hope everyone enjoys and treasures this performance, I think it's absolutely spellbinding. This is part of a recorded rehearsal of XO-era material, at a time when the direction of the album was perhaps more in line with Grand Mal than XO as released.
