    The LP Neil tried to bury and disown for a while. In a way this is Neil's Blood On The Tracks. The highly personal and at times biting lyrics displeased some of the West Coast crowd. After its initial 74 - 75 release it didn't get a reissue in the US until 1999 when Neil finally relented. Personally, I think this is a masterpiece along with Tonight's The Night.

      The 1-H/ 1-H cut is an exquisite sounding record- the kinda vinyl to show naysayers just how much depth can be heard on a great sounding LP. There’s massive, clear low end and clarity across the frequency spectrum. Outstanding.

            Hello, recently I've came across a sealed copy of this album, is there anything to denote whether its a first press besides opening it? I have strong feeling it is based on the collection it came from but just wondering if anyone knows? Thanks!

              Recently bought this record. Great pressing! My copy came with a lyric insert. Does anyone else have this insert? I’m curious, since it’s not mentioned in the description/notes.

                Is this the first press ? I can't find any notes on this release.

                  mine has all matching runout numbers, but ends in RCA-1J with STEREO on the labels. i don't see any other RCA pressings, so this must be the one? lots of tiny variations like that in these older NY records.

                    My fave Neil, or right up there. Massey Hall is spellbinding and prolly the #1. Harvest Moon so good too. Gold Rush...so many.
