Description

What I’m selling:

I took a lot of time putting this listing together. Please read it in full before "purchasing now" on this unique product. Failure to do so subjects you to fault, not me. If you have any questions, I suggest you contact me first before buying this item. Same with shipping, since you will be given options, but as you well know, we need to put "canned" eBay shipping info on all items. So what's posted is not correct, but the body of this summary clearly spells out purchasing terms. I also do not ship until your payment has cleared for three business days. I take very careful care in packaging all of my shipments and have a perfect 100% score on selling and on buying through this site.

If you are an Elliott Smith fan, I’m selling a special issue single, 180-gram vinyl of his “XO” record, which was released in the U.S. about 4 months ago that was limited to 2,016 copies. And was out of print by the time the manufacturer was ready to ship them. My copies are 100% perfectly sealed, never been opened or played. The 180-gram vinyl is colored. It’s hazel with black smoke stirred throughout. I won’t open one to take photos, but I’ll see if I can find a stock photo. The reason I don’t like stock photos is because it doesn’t show you exactly what you will be receiving. And what you will be receiving is a single vinyl LP of all of the records original songs, on colored vinyl in MINT/MINT condition and numbered sequentially on the back.

You get a MINT sealed copy from me, on white vinyl and packaged any number of ways depending on how much risk you want to take with the record when it is shipped to you. I based my shipping by going to the post office and having the records and my shipping materials weighed out for the US, Canada and elsewhere worldwide. I will not be profiting from my shipping expenses in the least, and depending on where you live, I'll probably pay additionally for my items to get to you. Remember as well, that I, too, paid exorbitant prices for my copies to be shipped to me. I will not accept any returns, opened or not, you will be paying for insurance and carry all liability if you choose not to insure this product and it “disappears”. It will be shipped, with or without insurance, very carefully with a USPS tracking number for the US, Canada and most major countries. Again, without you paying for insurance, if the record never arrives, it will not be because of me, my responsible stops the moment a tracking sticker has been affixed to my package and I hand it to a USPS employee. You will receive an update on the tracking number as soon as I ship this.

A bit about Elliott Smith’s “XO”release:

A year before his major-label debut, XO, was released, it seemed unlikely that Elliott Smith would even be on a major, let alone having his record be one of the more anticipated releases of 1998. He had certainly earned a great deal of critical respect with his low-key, acoustic indie records and was emerging as a respected songwriter, but he hadn't made much of an impression outside of journalists, record collectors, and indie rockers. An Oscar nomination can change things, however. "Miss Misery," one ofSmith's elegantly elegiac songs for Gus Van Sant's Good Will Hunting, unexpectedly earned an Academy Award nomination, and he was immediately thrust into the spotlight. He was reluctant to embrace instant celebrity, yet he didn't refuse a contract with DreamWorks, and he didn't shy away from turning XO into a glorious fruition of his talents. Smith's songs remain intensely introspective, yet the lush, Beatlesque production provides a terrifically charming counterpoint. His sweetly dark melodies are vividly brought to life with the detailed arrangements, and they sell Smith's tormented songs -- it's easy to get caught up in the tunes and the sound of the record, then realize later what the songs are actually about. That's a sign of a good craftsman, and XO proves that not only can Elliott Smith craft a song, but he knows how to make an alluring pop record as well.
