A 40-minute concert DVD of Smith playing at the July 17, 1999 Yo Yo A Go Go Festival, titled Elliott Smith – Olympia, Washington, was announced to be released sometime during 2004 by HIQI Media, but has since been legally challenged by DreamWorks and as of 2006, is still in limbo.[1]
Rob Schnapf and Joanna Bolme had made it clear that they wished and considered From a Basement on the Hill to be Smith's final record, and it was unknown whether the Smith family or DreamWorks planned to release any more posthumous albums.[2] However, in February 2007 Kill Rock Stars announced New Moon, a compilation consisting of songs Smith recorded during his years (1994-1997) with that label.
Elliott Smith: Live at Largo, a five-song CD featuring previously unreleased live recordings of Smith performing acoustically at Club Largo in Los Angeles is included with Autumn de Wilde's book Elliott Smith, released on October 25, 2007.
Leaks
Unreleased tracks, demos, and covers have circulated over the Internet. The posthumous collection From a Basement on a Hill II attracted the attention of the media.[3] These leaks have taken place near the anniversary of Smith's death.[4]
