SUPERB COPY OF ONE OF NEIL YOUNG'S FINEST ALBUMS IN YEARS (at the time of release) AND HIS RESPONSE, IN MANY WAYS TO PUNK ON THE ROCKING SECOND SIDE NAME-CHECKING JOHNNY ROTTEN ON "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue/Into The Black)" - WITH SIDE ONE COMPRISED OF SOME BEAUTIFUL ACOUSTIC NUMBERS
Rust Never Sleeps, its aphoristic title drawn from an intended advertising slogan, was an album of new songs, some of them recorded on Neil Young's 1978 concert tour.
His strongest collection since Tonight's the Night, its obvious antecedent was Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home, and, as Dylan did, Young divided his record into acoustic and electric sides while filling his songs with wildly imaginative imagery.
The leadoff track, "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" (repeated in an electric version at album's end as "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" with slightly altered lyrics), is the most concise and knowing description of the entertainment industry ever written; it was followed by "Thrasher," which describes Young's parallel artistic quest in an extended metaphor that also reflected the album's overall theme -- the inevitability of deterioration and the challenge of overcoming it.
Young then spent the rest of the album demonstrating that his chief weapons against rusting were his imagination and his daring, creating an archetypal album that encapsulated his many styles on a single disc with great songs -- in particular the remarkable "Powderfinger" -- unlike anything he had written before.
Track Listing:
Side 1: My My Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) / Thrasher / Ride My Llama / Pocohontas / Sail Away
Side 2: Powderfinger / Welfare Mothers / Sedan Delivery / Hey Hey My My (Into The Black)
LABELS: Clean, bright and unmarked with just one/two light spindle traces - barely played copy - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen with just a couple of pressing blemishes (which are within the vinyl itself and are not later markings - these have no audio consequence) - EXCELLENT+
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio throughout with a crystal clear, rich and detailed sound and on playback at a very loud volume (which is how I always listen to my records prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps and no clicks or pops. The sound quality is sensational and the whole LP plays to a very high standard with all frequencies bright and clear and there is no groove-wear or distortion (it's barely been played). Strictly graded NEAR MINT for audio - fantastic LP, great copy and very highly recommended
SLEEVE: Clean, fresh and unmarked with just a little storage rubbing to the top and bottom edges but with a clean, clear spine with all text clear and bold - EXCELLENT
INNER SLEEVE: The photo inner is NEAR MINT with no splits to any of the edges - clean, bright and unmarked
INSERT: The lyric insert, printed on one side of thin glossy paper is EXCELLENT+ with just some light evidence of handling but it has none of the common 'foxing' spots

Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
