Neil Young recorded this eclectic masterpiece in late 1972 and conceived it as an original soundtrack for an ill-fated documentary of the same name.. In addition to overcoming personal challenges of all kinds, he also reflected on this album a host of social ills that affected America circa Watergate era, and the cover showing a bunch of grand knights of the KKK amply illustrates the point. And, as of today, May 13, 2017, it is official: there are now only two (2) albums uncle Neil elected not to release on CD: this one, and his 1973 “Time Fades Away”. I think it is a safe bet that we will never – ever – see these two albums reissued on CD.  The result: this great album has been unavailable in any way, manner or format in almost quarter of a century!!!. SOME OF THE SONGS FROM THIS ALBUM, SUCH AS THE ALMOST-15-MINUTE LONG "WORDS" ARE UNAVAILABLE ON ANY OTHER NEIL YOUNG ALBUM, OR IN ANY OTHER FORMAT WHATSOEVER!!! . The musicians include CSN&Y, Buffalo Springfield, Stray Gators, Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation and Chorus, as well as , of course, Neil Young solo. The songs are: For what it's worth / Mr. Soul - Rock'n'Roll woman - Find the cost of Freedom - Ohio - Southern Man - Are you ready for the country - Let me call you sweetheart - Alabama - Words - God Bless America - Relativity invitation - Handel's Messiah - King of Kings - Soldier Let's go away for awhile.

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·       CONDITION:

·       THE RECORDS

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The records come in their original, custom, inner sleeves, which are UNIQUE to this album.

(c)           White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 30:1.

(d)            The records are pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has some ring wear.  On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3  (front side) and 5 (back side).

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams  bare

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-         Cover has a minor 'bump' (dent) on the opening (top) side (nothing significant)

-         The cover has a few tiny scratch marks on both sides (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
