Stereopathetic Soulmanure is a 1994 album by Beck, released on Flipside Records, comprising mostly home demos, live performances, and abstract noise experiments. Although a lo-fi recording of a largely uncommercial nature, Stereopathetic Soulmanure is actually Beck's second official album, released, perhaps, to downplay his then-notoriety as a novelty act for his current Top 10 hit "Loser". Going completely unnoticed at its release, the album remains an interesting and sometimes bizarre curio for hardcore Beck followers. Beck would soon return with another independent release, the plaintive and largely acoustic One Foot in the Grave - his third album of 1994 - before recording his major label follow-up Odelay.

    • The bonus noise is included on most discs, but not all.

There is also a screwy pressing that separates "No Money No Honey" over tracks 7 and 8 and breaks parts of "One Foot in the Grave" and "Aphid Manure Heist" over tracks 12, 13 and 14, which causes all tracks after "Crystal Clear (Beer)" to be off from the tracklisting on the back cover. This pressing also omits the short snippet of dialogue called "Ken" and keeps the bonus noise on the same track as "Modesto." This pressing causes some online tracklists, such as the tracklist at All Music Guide, to be incorrect.
