RARE .... 1969 collectible of the very first NEIL YOUNG solo album ... a lesser seen pressing from 50 years ago ...the thick gatefold cover with NO NAME on top of cover which was re-designed by Reprise Records pretty quick after being released with the words "NIL YOUNG" across the cover.
(((( ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED, as first issued in 1969 ))))

So here's the deal, as we were advised: Apparently Neil Young was not happy with the original mix of this, his first album, so he got Reprise Records, still in 1969, to release it with a different mix to the songs...this is the VERY RARE FIRST MIX that Neil was NOT happy with - far harder to find than the remix and is HIGHLY sought! With the rare "no name" cover ... all in minty clean condition! BEST COPY AROUND with rare FIRST mix!

Sitting all alone in 1969 after fleeing the mighty BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD while 'Neil Young' plays aloud, hiding under bed covers, ditto, sitting upside down trying new ways to explore sonic resilience - all nouveau chic ways to get this confounded ballbreaker of an album to register, none have been successful to date. What remains here is mammoth production that presses up flood water style against a mix dogs with bionic ears wouldn't notice, songs with delusions of grandeur that finish before a middle eight arrives, or drift on with no heed to tags or any focus point, winding confusingly into 'The Last Trip to Tulsa', stop/start 'avant garde' folk ramble that cuts like a chainsaw through those splendid contemplative pieces Young had announced himself to the world with two years earlier. Go away beautiful bird, someone needs to forgive himself fast. Song sequencing meanders merrily across continuously abrasive spectrums, opening with over-rated instrumental 'The Emperor of Wyoming', 'String Quartet From Whiskey Boot Hill' planted from nowhere to make Neil look like a boy from a 19th century novel all scrubbed up to meet the king. His first venture towards new climates did bring two tunes which stand exempt from criticism, 'The Loner' scraping its claws through the murky mess, and perennial masterpiece 'The Old Laughing Lady', gospel, folk, free jazz, soul, amalgamated into a chord structure that makes it worth getting out of bed every day. Other artists would have withered after a similar career, but Neil Young had just started his engine.
