Description
Up for sale is a very nice copy of Neil Young's "Mirror Ball" produced in 1995 on the Reprise label, UPC # 093624593416. The record vinyl is graded VG+...has a couple of minor scuffs that do not affect play. The cover is VG to VG+...creases in both upper corners...not bad, but not great, and some other corner dings. Comes with original insert. This is a GREAT record, and the combination of Neil Young with the members of Pearl Jam is unbeatable! GOOD LUCK!!!
"...this is my first Neil Young album, I've listened to some of his others since I bought this, but Mirror ball simply blows me away with each listen. I was shocked when I saw the date. 1995!? I couldn't believe it. Not only did the album sound old, but it had the quality and vigor of a classic late 60s album. Pearl Jam definitely brought a monster force to this recording. In that sense, Mirror Ball is a true majestic anthem joining and consolidating the unabashed optimism of the 60s and the punk realism of the 90s. But looking at the songs... they all rock! Peace and Love and Throw Your Hatred Down both have monster guitar solos and great melodies. Downtown is another more upbeat number. However, the real gem here is Scenery - an intoxicating power lamentation that leaves your head in a syrupy swirl of musical euphoria and ecstasy. The main riff drives itself into your skull, spiralling downwards to the center of your brain like a spiritual elixir. The song benefits from the recording quality and production values - Neil's voice shrouded in a massive watery wall of sound punctuated by Pearl Jam's might. The songs here are all strong, the sound quality superb, and the general spirit and raison d'etre couldn't be any more strong. A classic album. And the packaging rocks!." - Yalien - www.rateyourmusic.com

Thank you for looking at my record auction! I realize that currently I have minimal feedback, but prior to now, I have always used power sellers coyotecommerce and coyotesurplus as my online agent to sell my items. Any record I put up for auction will be graded using the guidelines set forth by Goldmine, and I will explain why I gave it that grade:
Mint: "ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY" - certainly never played. Since I have seen sealed records with mold and creases, chances are I will never use this grade.
Near Mint (NM or M-): "A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD" that shows NO OBVIOUS SIGNS of wear. The jacket or picture sleeve should have no more than the most minor of defects. I will rarely use this grade.
Very Good Plus (VG+): shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took care of it. Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. The label may have some ring wear. Jackets and picture sleeves will have slight ring wear, turned up corners, or a slight seam split. I will use this grade, and may enhance it with another + if it is warranted.
Very Good (VG): surface noise, scratch(es) that can be felt with a fingernail, groove wear in the vinyl and writing, tape or stickers on the label. (If the record and label are near perfect and there is a sticker on the label from a 45 carrying case, I will give it a VG+ grade and note the sticker). The picture sleeve or jacket might also have writing or a sticker on it, and possibly bent corners. I will also apply a VG- to records that are better than good, but not VG. I will always explain my grade.
Good (G, G+): basically playable without skipping. I will NEVER put a record of this grade on ebay unless it is mega rare or valuable like Elvis on Sun or something like that.
All shipping in US is $4, outside of US, please send me an e-mail. I prefer PayPal as my method of receiving payment, but I will also accept a cashier's check. I will ship the item once payment is cleared. This item is also available for pick-up if you are in the Lansdale, PA area from 11am to 6 pm Tuesday through Sunday.
