Neil Young 2 LP lot.
Neil Young is the self-titled debut studio album by Canadian / American musician musician Neil Young following his departure from Buffalo Springfield in 1968, issued on Reprise Records, catalogue number RS 6317. The album was first released on Young's 23rd birthday, November 12, 1968, the so-called 'CSG mix', but was rapidly superseded by a non-CSG version on January 22, 1969. Both albums simply featured a painting of Neil Young on the cover.
The first release of the album used the Haeco-CSG encoding system. This technology was intended to make stereo records compatible with mono record players, but had the unfortunate side effect of degrading the sound. Young was unhappy with the first release. "The first mix was awful", he was reported as saying in Cash Box of September 6, 1969. "I was trying to bury my voice, because I didn't like the way it sounded".
The album was therefore partially remixed (as announced in Rolling Stone issue 47, from December 13), and re-released without Haeco-CSG processing. Most of the songs from the original album were re-released with only the Haeco-CSG processing removed. Only a few songs on the reissue were remixed in full: "Here We Are in the Years", "What Did You Do to My Life?" and "If I Could Have Her Tonight". The words "Neil Young" were added to the top of the album cover after what was left of the original stock had been used up, so copies of both mixes exist in the original sleeve. Copies of the original mix on vinyl are now rare and much sought-after by Neil Young fans who believe that the remix diminished the songs, especially "Here We Are in the Years".
