Line 43 ⟶ 47:
{{quote|text=''An Introduction To...'' is, as the title suggests, intended as an introduction to one of the greatest songwriters of our era. We hope this will enable new generations to learn about Elliott's music by providing a pathway for people to delve more deeply into his immensely satisfying catalog.}}
Larry Crane, Smith's archivist, remixed "Last Call" for this compilation from the [[Multitrack recording|4-track]] cassette master.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}} "Angel in the Snow" is also a new mix, done later than the version that appears on ''[[New Moon (Elliott Smith album)|New Moon]]''. Crane stated "I had used an inferior noise reduction process on ''New Moon''; plus, I now have better tape transfers".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfYu-xllFQ8 |title=Elliott Smith – Angel in the Snow (The "''An Introduction To''" Mix) – YouTube |date=December 24, 2011 |website=YouTube |accessdate=July 2, 2013}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead Youtube links|date=February 2022}}</ref>
