{"product_id":"elliott-smith-xo-lp","title":"Elliott Smith - XO - LP { Vinyl LP }","description":"\u003cp\u003eXO is the fourth studio album by singer\/songwriter Elliott Smith. It was recorded from 1997 to 1998 and released on August 25, 1998 by record label DreamWorks; Smith's first solo album on a major record label. Two singles, \"Waltz #2 (XO)\" and \"Baby Britain\", were released. An early working title for the album was Grand Mal. The title of the first track, \"Sweet Adeline\", was inspired by Smith's recollections of his grandmother singing in her glee club, Sweet Adelines International. \"Amity\" is believed to be named after a friend who can be seen in photographs from Smith's 1997 tour. XO was well received by critics upon it's release. Mark Richardson of Pitchfork Media wrote, \"Smith's songwriting continues to improve, as each of [the album's] fourteen tracks displays his inarguable mastery of the pop song structure more clearly than ever.\" In it's retrospective review, BBC Music wrote, \"the budget might have gone up, but Smith's masterful way with an understated melody and melancholic lyric remained firmly intact\", calling XO \"perhaps the greatest long-player Smith released; if not, it's certainly the equal of the preceding Either\/Or. Repeat listens don't dull it in the slightest, every barbed one-liner and exhalation of despair perfectly preserved\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Sweet Adeline\u003cbr\u003e2 Tomorrow Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e3 Waltz #2 (Xo)\u003cbr\u003e4 Baby Britain\u003cbr\u003e5 Pitseleh\u003cbr\u003e6 Independence Day\u003cbr\u003e7 Bled White\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Waltz #1\u003cbr\u003e2 Amity\u003cbr\u003e3 Oh Well, Ok\u003cbr\u003e4 Bottle Up and Explode!\u003cbr\u003e5 A Question Mark\u003cbr\u003e6 Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands\u003cbr\u003e7 I Didn't Understand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56683223908684,"sku":"602557283518","price":5.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/original_8dfb2647-f0de-4405-a9bd-07da009b1f02.jpg?v=1770600020","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/elliott-smith-xo-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
