 The title itself is fairly easy to find but finding a genuine UK first pressed copy of this record is very difficult indeed and this is now only the second one of these I have ever had to offer. Firstly, a poor selling record and many sources state it was not issued in the UK initially but was delayed and appeared after the US release date, so the amount of time this title would have been available on this format would have been very limited. It was again repressed in 1970, again very briefly with the RSLP number on the deep tan format and that is also elusive. Initial copies of this record included the cover without his name appearing on the front, an unusual thing to do on a ‘debut’ album, later pressings had his name included. Remember, Neil Young was a relatively unknown at this time. A member of Buffalo Springfield but they had minimal sales in the UK too and many would not even know who this man was. Another major factor about this pressing it is the only source to the original mix which Young himself was not satisfied with. Subsequent pressings had some song’s remixed with his voice a little more prominent and clearer in the sound. Two tracks had additional guitar added too. Many Young connoisseurs preferred this original mix, his slightly muted voice actually adds to the atmosphere to the songs. The remixed version is different but not in a major way but the original sound is the most cherished by his fans. A delicate album that many acclaim as one of his finest ever, it experiments by blending folk, rock with orchestral elements and it works brilliantly. Condition is always a major factor on a record like this. Well the cover, rare in-itself goes beyond superb, this is little short of immaculate and if anyone has a better example, well cherish it because few ever will have. This is devoid of any significant wear and looks jaw-drop gorgeous (please check out my pictures again). The record equally is stunning and has hardly any marks at all and the odd one or two present are insignificant surface types that have no sound. These vintage Reprise albums were massively heavy pressed and thick and the grooves are deeper than many records and this is up there with the heaviest I have ever held as a non-specialist audiophile pressing. Pressed to a high standard too with minimal surface sounds and those delicate quiet songs sound clean too, there is little unwanted on this classic album and it was a pleasure from start to finish. The lack of any distortion, crackle or any great note or groove-wear is a massive bonus. Taken for sound quality, general looks and availability, I consider this a very rare album indeed, a scarce opportunity to own this unique pressing and album by one of the greatest artists ever. Go on, have another look at that incredible ‘No Name’ cover. ~Many thanks to Mike (I hope you don't mind me borrowing some of your extensive knowledge of this particular pressing)
