The deluxe edition of the late Elliott Smith’s major label debut album, XO, is getting its first-ever vinyl release.

Limited to 4,000 copies, the 2xLP vinyl features every B-side, alternate version, and demo from the recording sessions of the classic album. It’s pressed on 180-gram brown vinyl and comes with a limited edition lithograph of Smith.

Among the songs making their vinyl debut are the bonus cuts “How to Take a Fall,” “The Enemy Is You,” and “Our Thing.” See the full tracklist below. The record is available exclusively on The Interscope Vinyl Collective as this month’s featured offering. Pick up your copy here.

In his retrospective review of XO, our own Jonah Krueger described the album as “marrying the powerful, barebones artistry he’d honed on his first solo albums with the adventurous nature of his old bands.”

Smith’s 55th birthday is coming up on August 6th. It will be celebrated by a pair of events, led by a Los Angeles tribute concert with performances from members of Grandaddy, Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell, Margaret Cho, Illuminati Hotties, and Cheekface. Get tickets here.

In addition, the 2014 documentary Heaven Adores You is returning to select theaters for a limited time. Find out where you can attend screenings here.
