Explain to me what makes his multitracking so special to you?
It's harmonic. Take the figure 8 version of Pretty Mary K.
The verse I found faith in the infirmary is sung as such:
"I found faith in theeeee"
As if it's a religious lyric, and the multi-tracking response is "ahhh" in a religious sense
but then he goes on to say
"....infirmary" and the voices go "ahhhh" as if melancholic. It's really clever. It's some of the best use of multi-tracking I've heard.
He also uses it in general to make his voice much more penetrating.
The backing vocals he overdubbed in the middle part of Miss Misery is pure gold.
Its recording backing vocals not multitracking you dumb cunt.
this also. I was only really giving the first that came to mind. Elliott's a genius in general. I like a very high percentage of his music.
Well, belligerent user, 'fraid you're wrong there.
Multitrack recording (MTR)—also known as multitracking, double tracking, or tracking—is a method of sound recording developed in 1955 that allows for the separate recording of multiple sound sources or of sound sources recorded at different times to create a cohesive whole.
You don't know what you're talking about. This is what Elliott did.
It's not just backing vocals.
He used instruments the same way, especially layers of electric guitars tracked over his Yamaha acoustic on XO and his later albums.
this.
Layers of tracks are multi-tracking. Backing vocals are therefore a part of multi-tracking.
This is the best example I can think of.

It's all vocals harmonizing over each other, and it sounds exactly like the other renditions on guitar and piano.
I didn't understand is pretty heavy on it, it's great. I like it more than his other versions personally.
But I think if we're talking about it being masterfully used in conjunction to music, Pretty Mary K and Miss Misery use it best. I can't think of better ones off the top of my head.
I honestly don't like the studio version of Miss Misery that much because there's so many instruments on it that it drowns out the sound of the acoustic guitar.

For instance, lets see how many instruments are on it.
The guitar, and the bass, and the drums, and piano, and the other guitar, and the other piano, and the backing vocals, AND the slide guitar near the end, all either following the main melody or playing off of it.
Speaking in terms of the multi-tracking skill. Waltz#2 is great in general, but it's nothing special compared to any of the others *purely in terms of multi-tracking*
I used it as an example of one that had many instruments.
It's not as interesting as some of his other tracks where many of the instruments play something different instead of just following the melody in straightforward way.
Well, I guess that's a waltz for you
