Roman Candle available on vinyl for the first time in the U.S. Roman Candle is Elliott Smith's first solo album and was originally released on Portland's Cavity Search Records in 1994. It has been remastered for the re-release by Larry Crane, editor of Tape Op Magazine and archivist for Elliott's family. Larry explains, ''The intention that I had was to make the album more listenable. I felt that a lot of the guitar ''squeaks'' were jarring and very loud, and that many of the hard consonants and ''S'' sounds were jarring and scratchy sounding. I felt by reducing these noises that the music would become more inviting and the sound would serve the songs better. When I went to Roger Seibel's SAE Mastering, he proceeded to equalize the tracks a small amount and to make the volume slightly louder. We never tried to make this CD as loud as current, over-limited trends, but just to match the volume of the rest of Elliott's KRS catalog in a graceful way. Please note that none of this album is ''remixed'' from the master tapes - it is still composed of the mixes Elliott created himself.'' With the addition of these two records Kill Rock Stars is now the home for all of Elliott Smith's independent releases: Roman Candle, Elliott Smith, Either/Or, From a Basement on the Hill, and New Moon.
