Notes

Early Columbia pressing variant has no "STEREO" or "®" printed on labels, and no TML stamp in the runouts.

Release identified by runout code. May or may not have stamped characters. The pressing plant is not identified anywhere (likely Columbia based on the pressing rings) in the runout string (e.g., a stamped "P" is from the Pitman pressing plant and is not this version).

Approximately 68mm / 2 5/8-inch pressing ring.

Floral pattern inside the outer sleeve. Custom printed inner sleeve with credits on one side and liner notes on the other.

Very similar Columbia pressing, with TML in runouts: On The Beach

    I think I "discovered" this album during the best time I could. It was 2001 or so. There was no YouTube, no reliable streaming. Only the rumours of a great "lost" Neil Young album that was never released on CD. Eventually my research(!) led me to On The Beach. I bought a copy from the States on eBay (guessing I didn't pay all that much). Definitely in my Top 3 Neil Young albums. I love the sound that he achieves. And his voice is an act of desperation. For The Turnstiles is my favourite track, but there are so many good ones. The flowery inner liner of the outer sleeve made me feel like I buying something holy. Not so long after he released it on HDCD to make up for the supposed quality loss of the CD format. But by that time I already had and treasured my original LP copy.
