Strangely enough, the first copy I had was a CD that was left behind in the backroom of the studio. It’s very different in a way because I didn’t hear this record all the way through until I was building the studio with Elliott and became a friend. I’d also seen his old band Heatmiser perform and heard Roman Candle.Įven when we opened up Jackpot! Recording Studio together, which is still my studio in Portland, I had never really heard the self-titled album. I’d seen him around town and knew who he was. I didn’t know Elliott at the time and hadn’t recorded with him yet. When I started the self-titled album, I had no connection to that record in that respect.
On that record, there was a track – “Pictures of Me” – which I recorded vocals for, and it was the first time Elliott and I spent time in the studio. What’s it like returning to these songs decades later?īefore this, I worked on the Either/Or reissue that I remastered a few years ago in 2017. Listen to the new Elliott Smith reissue here. This interview has been condensed for length. Crane talked with uDiscover Music about his archival process, his memories of collaborating with Smith, and what he hopes listeners take away from the new reissue.
