ELLIOTT SMITH DISCOGRAPHY

Early 1993 - recording of dead air

Details on the dates that the Heatmiser album Dead Air was recorded seem vague from what I can find.  The archives of the Alphabet Town site say January-July 1993. However, it seems that the album was released in April 1993 (some sources online say April, some say September but I believe the April date is correct based on it being in The Rocket top 20 chart in June).  So an April release date means perhaps some recording was actually going on in late 1992 also?? My assumption is that the 7" versions of Stray and Can't Be Touched were recorded prior to this so they are earlier in the timeline. If you have more specific details of the dates, please let me know.

From the liner notes of the CD pressing of Dead Air:
