An Important Foreword Regarding Condition & Grading: Regular visitors to my listings will know that I offer albums that range from very good to near mint in terms of condition. I don’t restrict my offerings to just near mint, and I don’t just call everything great or excellent plus regardless of condition. Occasionally a rare album turns up which in some respects grades very good plus but in other ways is  outstanding so providing each of the features are individually and accurately graded, and I take great care with this, I am happy to offer it for sale. However, all vinyl albums I offer are at least highly presentable and deliver enjoyable audio, and most are much better than that – if you are intending to bid please read the individual grading and check that you are satisfied before placing your bid.

Specific notes concerning this album: This section highlights specific aspects regarding condition of the album(s) offered. These comments will still appear in the dedicated sections below but I hope that this ‘headlining’ will prevent bidders from overlooking key points in their evaluation. This particular album has been played occasionally over the years, but it has avoided excess wear and tear. The original MacNeill Press unprotected matt surface finish, and consequently vulnerable, gatefold has a few minor blemishes. There is some general light edge and corner rub wear caused by storage movement and a few tiny scuffs on the spine. The superb heavyweight  (164 gramme) first press vinyl has some light surface ‘brush’ lines, caused by bag movements and light stylus contact (they are very fine and even with these it still grades a comfortable excellent to plus); they have no significant audio consequence. The single sided facsimile of hand written lyric sheet has some extra light crease lines through having slipped across the gatefold but other than that it is not marked, not damaged and in generally outstanding condition. This is a thoroughly excellent and better example of one of the all time great classic progressive folk-rock albums.

Album / Record Title: AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

Rarity: MUCH RARER THAN IT MAY APPEAR TO BE AT A GLANCE - THESE REPRISE UK RSLP CATALOGUED UK FIRST PRESSING, FIRST ISSUE, HEAVY VINYL VARIANTS OF ‘AFTER THE GOLD RUSH' ARE UNDOUBTEDLY VERY RARE. I search for UK FIRST PRESSINGS of Neil Young albums in EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION throughout and I consider myself lucky if I find two like this in a year, so that’s a good measure of how hard they are to find. Unlike its predecessor ‘Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere’, which was released during a label transition period for UK Reprise from the tri-colour Riverboat to the tan Riverboat, this third solo album from Neil Young was ONLY ISSUED ON THE TAN RIVERBOAT LABEL. The album was a hugely successful worldwide and issued and re-issued in many variants which, on first sight, because they are all on the same colour similar design labels are difficult to identify. The American catalogue number was RS, German REP, re-issues seen frequently in the UK were prefixed ‘K’ - these are the more common ones, but there were more and they all look the same. You can see these re-issues and overseas pressings offered regularly, they are plentiful, and if you are not too concerned about variant, condition or audio quality they are easy to find, relatively inexpensive and alright for easy listening; BUT they bear no comparison with the UK ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSINGS like this one which is in LOVELY CONDITION AND DELIVERS TOP QUALITY AUDIO OF GREAT CLARITY.

ONLY THE GENUINE EARLIEST ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSINGS BEAR THE CATALOGUE CODE RSLP 6383 BECAUSE, JUST PRIOR TO RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM, KINNEY NATIONAL CORPORATION HAD TAKEN OVER WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS WHO OWNED THE REPRISE CATALOGUE. KINNEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF RE-CATALOGUING WITH THEIR OWN PREFIX AND NUMBERS AS THIS ALBUM WENT TO PRESS and this was one of the last albums to be prefixed with RSLP and the Reprise number as the transition took place – it was quickly re-designated by Kinney as K44088 and all pressings you see with that code are later pressings and reissues. Others that are offered with the correct ‘first’ catalogue number are claimed as first pressings but have the matrices RSLP 6383 followed by ‘A2’ & ‘B2’ - these are not the first, they are perfectly good pressings of course but ‘A1’ & ‘B1’ are the first UK matrices as stamped on this vinyl - but there are also two other important features - the earliest FIRST UK pressings retained the ‘WARNER BROS. MUSIC’ credit on the bottom inner perimeter of the label and the vinyl is a real HEAVYWEIGHT (in this case 164 GRAMMES - the later pressings were noticeably lighter. This is SERIOUSLY RARE as a GENUINE UK FIRST PRESSING and the fact that it is all in EXCELLENT TO PLUS & BETTER condition, with the LYRIC INNER; makes it an OUTSTANDING album.

My opinion and summary of condition: I have listened to many examples of this album hundreds of times during the last 39 years and every time I am more amazed by its artistic beauty, it has everything. From his angry emotional vocal and signature staccato guitar playing on Southern Man to the lazy sunny afternoon feel of Cripple Creek Ferry, and everything in between, it really draws you in – a gem in the genre. A truly charismatic and prodigious writer, musician, performer the allure of Neil Young for me is that he actually sounds as though he means it and I feel as though I’m there, in the situation he’s describing, while he’s performing. I believe he does mean it, so do many others, but to communicate it convincingly as he does is a special talent. There are few writers and musicians so versatile who can carry this off in such a wide range of genres. Anyway, this is a fine ORIGINAL example of Gold Rush, and one of the best you are likely to find; A GENUINE FIRST PRESSING and FIRST ISSUE, with the corresponding FIRST MATRICES, FIRST MOTHERS & VERY EARLY STAMPERS CODES on an IMPRESSIVE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL in EXCELLENT TO PLUS condition. This should not be underestimated; it is a really scarce opportunity to buy an outstanding example of a SUPERB ALBUM.

MY GRADING OF THIS ALBUM based on Record Collector ‘Rare Record Price Guide 2008’ (**n.b. please note that I grade accurately backed up by a description. I neither over-exaggerate nor under-exaggerate. I see no point in grading an item with multiple ++++ marks, or under-grading it and then stating that it should be graded better - I consider these methods to be confusing. I use the Record Collector system with either a PLUS or a MINUS to indicate slight variations either side of a grade). I always include a full set of super-sized photographs to provide bidders with the best possible opportunity to make their own visual assessment of each album in conjunction with my detailed descriptions.

Vinyl Visual side 1: EXCELLENT TO PLUS, light evidence of play and some fine surface lines caused by movements in and out of the inner, not tangible, no audio consequence.

Vinyl Visual side 2: EXCELLENT TO PLUS, light evidence of play and some fine surface lines caused by movements in and out of the inner, not tangible, no audio consequence.

Label Visual side 1: EXCELLENT TO PLUS, some light spindle lines but no marks, no scuffs, no tears, no noticeable spindle hole wear.

Label Visual side 2: EXCELLENT TO PLUS, some light spindle lines but no marks, no scuffs, no tears, no noticeable spindle hole wear.

N.B. Please note that I make no adjustment or allowance in grading for minor marks, slight shrinkage marks / bubbles or misalignment on labels caused in manufacture; they are benign, quite normal and, in my opinion, original individual characteristics – not defects.

Outer Cover: EXCELLENT TO PLUS, fully surface printed classic gatefold cover of stiff mid-weight card construction with front edge factory sealed, Printed and made by MacNeill Press Ltd., London, S.E.1. There’s some minor surface rubbing, slight edge and corner rub wear, tiny dents on the leading edge where the vinyl enters - no flaws or wear of any significance - it’s quite possibly as good an example of this original gatefold as you are likely to find; but please take a careful look at the super-sized photographs and make your own assessment as well.

Spine: NEAR EXCELLENT, physically first rate and well formed with just the usual light fold line down the centre caused by careful opening and closing over time, slight rub wear at the ends and a few mini scuffs; it is a fine example - clean, clear and fully readable, please see photographs.

Inner Sleeve: VERY GOOD PLUS, the original era specific white paper inner with centre window and UK Patents and Foreign Patents Pending in small dark blue print, fitted with antistatic poly liner, slightly discoloured over time and lightly creased. This album will also be supplied with a new good quality paper inner and ‘Nagaoka’ antistatic loose poly-liner for transit and added protection of the vinyl surfaces.

Lyric Inner: EXCELLENT PLUS, original standard paper single side printed, black on grey/white, with facsimile of handwritten lyrics and track list, two central fold lines into four quadrants and a few extra light crease lines through having slipped across the gatefold, opened out size 21 x 19 inches (about 53 x 48 centimetres) and the important ‘RSLP 6383 Printed in England’ bottom right corner (please see photograph).

Vinyl Warp: none visible when eye tested on a moving turntable.

Vinyl Weight: 164 grammes (a remarkable REPRISE heavyweight)

Play Grade: I consider all aspects of an albums condition and grading to be highly important and I place particular emphasis on the quality of the audio delivery; superior audio performance is, above all, the main reasons for listening to vinyl. For this reason I have decided to extend my play grade to rate separately how ‘clearly’ and ‘cleanly’ the sound is received. It is quite possible with vinyl to experience great ‘clarity’ and reality without the sound being exceptionally ‘clean’ - that’s ok with me, but it may not satisfy the audiophile. So, a NEAR MINT & NEAR MINT will be the best grade with VERY GOOD PLUS & VERY GOOD PLUS or better being highly satisfactory.

For CLARITY the audio from this vinyl grades: EXCELLENT TO PLUS

For CLEANLINESS the audio from this vinyl grades: EXCELLENT TO PLUS

Audio Performance: THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM THIS VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB; IT DELIVERS TOP QUALITY AUDIO OF GREAT CLARITY. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED, BUT NOT OVERPLAYED, ON GOOD QUALITY EQUIPMENT. ON THE LEAD IN, LINKING GROOVES AND RUN OFF IT IS REMARKABLY CLEAN AND ON TRACK IT IS FIRST RATE. I HAVE LISTENED TO MANY REPRISE FIRST PRESSINGS AND THIS IS IN THE TOP ECHELON - ABSOLUTE AUDIO ENJOYMENT FROM START TO FINISH. I ALWAYS ASK VISITORS TO MY LISTINGS TO BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS SECTION AND THE GRADING IS BASED ENTIRELY ON MY PERSONAL OPINION AND AUDIO PERCEPTION BELONGS TO THE INDIVIDUAL. WITH VINYL CLARITY THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT TRANSITIONAL SURFACE SOUND WHICH IS INEVITABLE FROM THIS MEDIUM, EVEN WHEN NEW, OCCASIONALLY A LITTLE CRACKLE, WHICH IS OFTEN LIGHT STATIC, OR EVEN A RANDOM SOFT TICK - BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRY REALLY HARD TO FIND ANY FAULT WITH THIS - ANOTHER VINYL FROM MY CURRENT COLLECTION WHICH DELIVERS ABSOLUTELY REAL, CLEAR AND BRILLIANT SOUND.

Other: This is a lovely example of ‘After The Gold Rush’ in every way and I know it would be extremely hard to find a genuine original UK First Press which would compare favourably with this one in terms of physical condition or audio performance. If you want one for your collection and enjoyment, this one is highly recommended.

GENERAL NOTES

Thank you for visiting my listing. The section immediately above sets out information specific to the particular album / record offered in this listing. Below are some of my general comments about vinyl which you may want to browse through if you have time. Please feel free to email me with any related comments or observations; particularly if you have any reliable information which contradicts any of my descriptions as I am always interested in adding to my knowledge on this subject. When preparing my listings I use a combination of facts from reliable sources, more than forty years of personal experience and, occasionally, music industry anecdotes. Just a visual inspection of used vinyls is almost always misleading so I play grade every vinyl I offer, before listing, on a Project III deck fitted with an Ortofon OM 5E cartridge down-force set at 17.5 mN (1.75 g), fitted with a first grade stylus which I renew at intervals according to manufacturers specification, through a manufacturers pre-set Rega Brio amplifier with sound delivered by Focal Chorus 706 loudspeakers, which is unforgiving where there are surface imperfections. If I think a vinyl will benefit from professional cleaning I use my ‘Moth’ RCM2, but I do not clean vinyls for the sake of it - many I offer for sale have had little use and although there can be slight contamination in the grooves, even when new, that is the original authentic sound. I believe in cleaning only when my ‘ear’ tells me that the audio performance has deteriorated by exposure over time and will obviously be returned closer to the original sound by cleaning. Although it is extremely rare, there can be a difference between my descriptions, and opinions, and an individual buyer’s expectations so I have a clearly stated Returns Policy for added reassurance which is detailed at the bottom of all my listings. In the unlikely event that you want to use this facility please read the details carefully first, and then contact me to agree the procedure. There really will never be a reason to have any problem with an item you purchase from me. Before bidding please take a careful look through my terms and conditions to avoid any misunderstandings.

First Issues, First Pressings & Originals: Please note that when I refer to a First Issue I mean that the evidence suggests that the album offered is from the first batch that was issued for commercial release in the country of origin stated in the listing. Where I state First Press I mean that based on a reasonable interpretation of the matrices and stamper codes the vinyl comes from the first batch pressed using that particular ‘mother’; these statements alone do not always mean that the vinyl is from the very first ’stamper’ ever made. However, where I state First Issue and First Press it is likely that the album offered includes one (or more) of the early vinyl(s) produced in the country of origin from the first ‘mother(s)’ and early ‘stamper(s)’. Original means that the record bears the first label design for that particular pressing and, in the case of the cover, it is from the first cover manufacturer for that pressing; the label and / or cover may have very slight changes, if they were made within the first production run or, if the album was issued with an ‘in run’ label change or choice of cover designs or colours on first release, but in these cases I will try and explain the differences. This is not an exact science and anomalies will occur where I may make a mistake but I believe this will not happen very often - if it does then all of my buyers have the unequivocal reassurance of my Comprehensive Returns Policy.

My definition of a rare vinyl: Generally there is agreement that to qualify for the description rare there should not be too many of the type offered, available on the market at the time. With my listings that will be the main criterion however I will also occasionally claim rarity based on excellence of condition, or some other key feature, or an accompanying item such as an insert, which is not often found with similar vinyls.

UK first and early pressings: In many cases inexperienced sellers claim first pressing status without knowledge or evidence in the hope of achieving high prices – experienced buyers will know better and avoid those offers. Of course with the more popular huge selling albums, where the record companies were fairly sure of major sales from the outset, there were many first pressings. Also, in cases where demand was sustained or emerging the first press run was maintained over an extended release period; in other cases the first press run was specific. Generally the lower the numbers in the matrices and stamper codes on the vinyl ‘run off’ areas, on both sides of a record, the earlier the pressing therefore ‘A1’ & ‘B1’ are most often first or early pressings, but there are variants and exceptions to the rule. The most notable ones, for example where the ‘1’ matrix was only used for test, promo or industry pressings so the commercial releases started at ‘2’ or even higher, and there are a few more observations which are worth noting. There are low numbered matrices which belong to second and even third pressings (in these cases the record companies gave similar numbers to the first press of a re-issue) you can normally identify these by, examining the labels which are often different in texture and/or design, and by checking the weight of the record as the earlier pressings were normally heavier. Sometimes different symbols were used in the matrices; these may indicate an earlier pressing, a contract pressing or just simply a change of format. For example some records have A61 & B61 others A // 1 & B // 1 others A-1 & B-1 and so on. In these cases the mother and stamper references can help with establishing the proximity of an individual record to the original recording – each different record company had their own coding system, some using letters from words to indicate numbers, others just using numbers. Better known examples include GRAMOPHLTD & BUCKINGHAM – used by EMI and DECCA respectively. Occasionally there are high numbers on first pressings, but this is unusual. Other points to note are the manufacturer of the ‘cover’ or ‘outer sleeve’ and various characteristics or design variants. The ‘inner sleeve’ or ‘bag’ can also be an indicator. However it is not wise to rely on details beyond the matrices and labels as the covers and sleeves can easily be interchanged. ‘Made Up’, Swapped’ or ‘Doctored’ sets are not uncommon, particularly with high value albums which have inserts and special text, so the best advice is to try and make sure that everything matches the criteria thus eliminating most of the risk (a good look at the photographs on the listing, if they are of the actual item offered as they are on all of my listings, is always advisable – hopefully the sellers will also include the ‘zoom’ and ‘enlarge’ photograph facility which only costs pennies to include and it remains a mystery to me as to why many avoid this service?). As a general rule I suggest that you don’t pay hundred’s or thousands of pounds unless you are buying from a reliable source who provide you with comprehensive information and have a clearly stated ‘Returns Policy’ - or unless you’ve got money to throw away (and in that case there are any number of far more deserving charities)

Audio reproduction on vinyl: In my experience there is always an element of surface or background sound with audio reproduction on vinyl, even when new - very hard to imagine how there could not be when two solid surfaces come into contact with each other and are then amplified! In my opinion anybody who claims there is no surface sound, or ‘silence’, is hard of hearing, has not turned the amplifier on, or is using very poor quality audio equipment. Almost all used vinyl has at least light surface scratches which are always visible when viewed under a bright halogen light - which is what I use for inspection. So if you are uncomfortable with a bit of light crackling it’s probably best not to buy vinyl. In my opinion the light surface sound is more than compensated for by the clarity and ‘reality’ of the overall sound reproduction. I listen carefully to every album I list, before listing it for sale.

Please Note: All of this comment contained in this listing is subjective, it is based only on my opinion and your expectations may not necessarily correspond with my standards. If you receive an album from me and you have some differences please remember to use reasonable communication as a first option. I have a comprehensive non confrontational ‘Returns Policy’ which is clearly set out below and providing there is no abuse, or use the negative feedback system, I will always reimburse you in full for your direct costs if you return the album correctly.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

DESCRIPTIONS: Are given in good faith, but they are based on my opinion and standards.  Bidders should note that they offer at their own risk and must satisfy themselves that they have sufficient information about the item before they enter the bidding process.  Please ask questions before you become involved with the auction, NOT afterwards! Where I list sizes/dimensions they are either as stated on the item/label by the supplier/manufacturer or reasonably accurately hand tape measured; however, they are not necessarily precise, should be taken as approximate and not relied upon where absolute precision is required. This clause does not in any way affect your rights under the terms of my ‘Returns Policy’, it is stated to prevent unnecessary inconvenience to both parties.

INFORMATION: Whilst I take care to try and provide accurate information on the original listing it is possible that new information may become available to me afterwards. I therefore strongly recommend that all bidders read any revisions and the ongoing questions / answers section of the listing before bidding as they may contain updated information which could affect your valuation of the item(s). In the event that new information is published, after the time you have become the high bidder, which adversely affects your valuation of the item(s) and you wish to withdraw from the bidding process please email your request and I will use the cancel bid option with no ongoing liability to any of the parties involved in the auction.

PHOTOGRAPHS: All photographs contained within this listing show the actual item (s) offered – they are not catalogue, archive or library photographs.  Furthermore they are direct images and not re-touched or modified in any way. I try to make good and comprehensive use of images on the listing in order to give the prospective bidder the best opportunity to evaluate the item(s); however it is possible that in some circumstances the photographs can enhance the appearance of the item(s) due to compression so please take this into account before bidding and do not hesitate to ask for more images or information which I am happy to send by attachment to email. This is particularly recommended with overseas buyers where returns are often not a viable option.  

OVERSEAS BUYERS WELCOME: I am pleased to deal with buyers from anywhere in the world. My method of LP packaging reduces the risk to your valuable vinyls & covers in transit. Makes no sense to me to buy something important and then play a ‘high risk of damage game’ when having it shipped around the world – I hope you feel the same. I will only dispatch using a fully insured Signed-for delivery service; if this is not acceptable please do not bid on any of my listings.

PACKING & POSTAGE:  Vinyl’s are removed from covers and placed in separate transit sleeves. All components are then placed side by side in a polythene inner for extra safety and water resistance and then secured between two corrugated card stiffeners. I use Heavy Duty Mailers Specifically Designed for Vinyl Albums, which provide excellent security and protection, in conjunction with my own Ultra Safe reinforced sealing and packaging method. Internally I use 2 of the highest grade ‘B’ flute corrugated card stiffeners to prevent bending, deformation or edge/corner creasing. Packing & postage prices are NOT negotiable on items dispatched individually or separately. However, if you are a similar time multiple buyer where all items purchased are being sent to the same address and they can be combined safely, you can ask for a discounted quotation before bidding. As stated in the previous paragraph for overseas deliveries I will also only dispatch to UK destinations using a fully insured Signed-for delivery service; if this is not acceptable please do not bid on any of my listings.

Postal insurance is subject to Royal Mail Standard Terms & Conditions. Quotations for other insurance such as premiums to cover non-standard risks or consequential losses are available on request.

PAYMENT: For Buyers WITHIN the UK: PayPal, or Pound sterling cheques / money orders, with minimum 7 days to clear before despatch.

PAYMENT: For Buyers OUTSIDE of the UK: Payments by PayPal only please.

CANCELLATION: The Seller reserves the right to cancel any bid, entirely at his discretion and without giving prior notice, in the following circumstances:

They have reason to believe that the bidder has not complied with the terms of their offer as set out on the listing.

The bidder’s feedback is of such limited quantity that it cannot be regarded as reliable.

The bidder’s feedback is of dubious quality and/or gives the seller any indication or reason to doubt the credibility of the bid.

MY FEEDBACK POLICY: I leave feedback for buyers after they inform me that they have received the item(s) and have left me their feedback. As I have a clearly stated Returns Policy, which does not expose the buyer to any direct loss whatsoever, I see no reason for either side to indulge in negative feedback. Providing the buyer does not engage in threats, abuse or use of negative feedback I will resolve any problem in a fair and reasonable way. If you have a problem or complaint about any transaction you have made with me contact me on somemightsell_e@btinternet.com and we will find a solution that is acceptable to you.

SUPERSIZED PHOTOGRAPHS: I have super-sized the photographs above to provide prospective bidders with the best opportunity to make their valuation before entering the bidding process, please just click on the ‘Zoom or Enlarge’ and arrows to use this facility. Sometimes due to reflection these images can appear slightly distorted, ‘graining’ can appear and dust particles can be exaggerated by the light - in reality there are no defects of this kind.
