Neil Young & Crazy Horse ? "Ragged Glory" Reprise Records ?WX374 UK 1st press Vinyl, LP, housed in a printed inner sleeve and released in 1990.
The vinyl has one or two marks, but they did not interfere with the music when I played the LP through on my elderly stereo - no hop, stick or jump. The LP is housed in its original printed inner sleeve, which shows some signs of wear but which is intact - no rips or writing. The sleeve shows slight signs of wear to the front and back but it is in generally good shape. Again, no rips or writing. The spine, though a little worn, is intact and legible.

"Ragged Glory" is Neil Young's 18th studio album and his sixth album with the band Crazy Horse. It was released by Reprise Records on September 9, 1990.
The album revisits the hard-rock style previously explored on "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" and "Zuma. The first two tracks are songs Young and Crazy Horse originally wrote and performed live in the 1970s with "Country Home" notably being performed on their 1976 tour. "Farmer John" is a cover of a 1960s song, written and performed by R&B duo Don and Dewey and also performed by British Invasion group The Searchers as well as garage band The Premiers. Young revealed that the song "Days that Used to Be" is inspired by Bob Dylan's "My Back Pages". The album features many extended guitar jams, with two songs stretching out to more than ten minutes.
In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, Kurt Loder hailed "Ragged Glory" as "a monument to the spirit of the garage - to the pursuit of passion over precision" and calling it "a great one". In the Los Angeles Times, John D'Agostino deemed the record "garage rock" and "impressive primitivism coming from a 45-year-old rock icon", while Village Voice critic Robert Christgau called it "an atavistic garage stomp" that "makes good on several potent fantasies--eternal renewal, the garage as underground, the guitar as shibboleth and idea." It was voted album of the year in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll, and in 2010 it was selected by Rolling Stone as the 77th best album of the 1990s. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
