This 180-gram audiophile-grade vinyl record from Elliott Smith’s acclaimed 1998 album “XO” promises to provide crisp, clear sound reproduction. This limited edition release is pressed from its original analog masters, allowing listeners to re-experience the full warmth of the original album.

Packed with fourteen equally divine songs, XO is Elliott Smiths fourth studio album, and his first solo album released by a major label.

The Oscar nomination for Miss Misery, a song used in fellow Portlandian Gus van Sants film Good Will Hunting, garnered widespread popularity for Smith. But up until the 1997 Academy Awards, where Smith begrudgingly played a two-minute version of the track, his plaintive songwriting had long only been appreciated by the indie crowd.

XO was to be Smiths entrance to mainstream music. The first single Waltz #2 (XO) is a gentle, wistful piano-backed track. A moderate commercial success, it found a home on college radio stations across the country. The chorus, Im never going to know you know / but Im going to love you anyhow, quickly initiated those new to Smith into his beautiful cult of sadness.
