When was XO first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1998, in US. One of them is Bong Load Custom Records BL35.
How do I tell if my copy of XO is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BL35) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BL 35 A ELLIOTT SMITH XO SIDE A RE.1 1 BL. and BL 35 B ELLIOTT SMITH XO SIDE B RE.1 1.

How much is XO on vinyl worth?
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
