Elliott Smith – Figure 8 (Vinyl)
Figure 8 was the final album Elliot Smith completed in his lifetime, but it received divisive and indifferent reviews from fans and critics alike upon its release in 2000.
This prejudice has endured as his legacy continues to grow, the narrative instead hinging on the story of a tortured genius, making heart-on-sleeve music, struggling with depression and drug dependency until his tragic, inevitable death.
However, the music on Figure 8 is a vital stepping stone between these two points, and offers a wealth of insight into Smith's troubled thought process.

Info columns
PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.

Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
