Neil Young Greatest Hits on 200g 2LP Set from Classic Records
LPs Cut from a 30ips Compiled Analog Master at Bernie Grundman Mastering
Neil Young's impeccable Greatest Hits collection in astounding sound. The LPs were cut, from a 30 ips compiled analog master overseen by Young himself, at Bernie Grundman Mastering. This release was anticipated by hundreds upon hundreds of our customers and now we can tell you with unbridled enthusiasm, this release is one of the finest sounding Neil Young records ever pressed!
"The album tunes are presented in chronological order, which only intensifies the desire to pull out the original “elpees” and have a listen, except for one thing: the sound on this double set is absolutely, mind-blowingly, stunningly superior to whichever version you previously thought ruled. Orange and tan Warner-7Arts/Reprise original Everybody Knows This is Nowhere? Forget about it! “Down By The River,” “Cowgirl in The Sand” (given all of side 1), and “Cinnamon Girl” have never sounded this expansive, dynamic, etched-in-granite pure and clean. Never has the bass been delivered with such stunning detail and “pop.”…the tracks here from After the Goldrush sound so much better than on any other version I've heard, it's positively sick!
Every song sounds better than I've ever heard before, thanks to the care taken in the transfer and mastering process. Wait until you hear “Old Man,” or “Heart of Gold,” from Harvest! According to information on Neil Young's website, for the double LP, 30 IPS 'flat' tape copies were created and assembled from the original analog masters of tracks 1-14, while tracks 15 and 16 were transferred from up-converted 176.4/24 bit digital masters created from the original lower resolution digital originals. The 7” 45rpm bonus disc not available on CD or DVD-A was cut from the original 2 track master tape used to generate the original single.
At the very least, this set wets the whistle for the heart of the catalog to be reissued by Classic with this level of care. In the meantime [this] is 100% worth having so you can hear the stunning results. It wouldn't hurt for it to sell out so Young gets the message that we want more vinyl from his back catalog produced like this. A “must have” set for Young fans-at least those interested in hearing what's on the master tapes (or as close as we can get without visiting Redwood Digital). Snooze now, looze later. This is a limited edition for sure."
