Elliott Smith - Pretty (Ugly Before) (7")

New in poly sleeve. Limited edition hand-numbered reissue pressed on opaque red vinyl.

"Pretty (Ugly Before)" b/w "A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free" holds the distinction of being the last recording by Elliott Smith to be released while he was still alive. Originally released as a single in August 2003, the songs were a part of the recording sessions that would ultimately yield the acclaimed posthumous album From A Basement On The Hill. The two songs serve as a powerful reminder of why Smith became the voice for a dejected generation.

A - Pretty (Ugly Before) (4:40)
B - A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free (3:06)
