Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and 3 MIL soft poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

  • Incredibly, this first solo album from Neil Young did not chart.
  • This is the second version of this album. The first version did not have a name on the cover.
  • The record appears to be the First Pressing of that second version on the two-tone riverboat Reprise label..
  • The matrix runout ends in RE-1.
  • The playing surfaces are clean.
  • The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams and a stiff spine. The top inside of the gatefold appears to have had some slight water stains or mildew.
  • The inner sleeve has WB/Reprise artist listings and a vintage old time band photo. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
  • This is a one-owner. Seller got this copy new in his store in 1969. It has been in storage for almost 47 years.
