Elliott Smith – XO (Vinyl LP)

Originally released in 1998, XO is the fourth studio album from Elliott Smith and marked a major step forward in both the scale and ambition of his music. His first solo album released through a major label, it expanded the intimate songwriting of his earlier records with richer arrangements, layered instrumentation and a broader, more polished sound.

Featuring some of Smith's most beloved songs, including "Waltz #2 (XO)", "Baby Britain", "Sweet Adeline" and "Independence Day", the album balances delicate acoustic passages with piano, strings, electric guitars and intricately arranged pop. Smith's unmistakable vocals and deeply personal songwriting remain at the heart of the record throughout.

XO is widely regarded as one of the defining albums of Elliott Smith's career, capturing his ability to combine melancholy and vulnerability with remarkably melodic songwriting. Songs such as "Pitseleh", "Waltz #1" and "I Didn't Understand" showcase the quieter side of the record, while its fuller arrangements hinted at the increasingly ambitious direction he would explore on later releases.

This Vinyl LP edition presents the complete original 14-track album across two sides, making it an essential addition to any Elliott Smith vinyl collection.

Supplied brand new and sealed, it's a must-have for fans of Elliott Smith, indie rock and alternative singer-songwriters.
