What you are bidding on is a real nice pressing of the lp NEIL YOUNG: NEIL YOUNG. This is a classic rock lp on REPRISE RECORDS, USA pressing. It won't get any better than this. It's like shopping in a time warp! This is an first pressing of this, no bar code, Reprise two color label.
It's a Warner/Seven Arts pressing with a gatefold cover, and no text on the front cover, only the painting of Neil.
This is the very first mix of the lp and there is no RE-1 in the matrix. This was changed shortly after the lp was released and this version has never been reissued.
On Neil Young's debut solo album, he continued to work with composer/arranger Jack Nitzsche, with whom he had made "Expecting to Fly" on the Buffalo Springfield Again album, and together the two recorded a restrained effort on which the folk-rock instrumentation, most of which was by Young, overdubbing himself, was augmented by discreet string parts. The country & western elements that had tinged the Springfield's sound were also present, notably on the leadoff track, "The Emperor of Wyoming," an instrumental that recalled the Springfield song "A Child's Claim to Fame." Still unsure of his voice, Young sang in a becalmed high tenor that could be haunting as often as it was listless and whining. But double-tracking and the addition of a female backup chorus improved the singing elsewhere, and on "The Loner," the album's most memorable track, Young displayed some of the classic electric guitar work that would characterize his recordings with Crazy Horse and reminded listeners of his ability to turn a phrase. Neil Young was his only album not to make the charts. (Several months after this album's release, Young remixed it to bring out his vocals more and added some overdubs).

About the used lps. We visually grade these, we don't have the time to play all we sell, we sell hundreds a week. In most cases we grade NM lps as VG+ to be safe. If I put "It looks unplayed" then it is probably unplayed....If I put NM, someone will find a piece of dust and complain....
