About This Record. This is an original keeper USA copy of Neil Young's first same titled LP that was released in 1968.  This is the very first pressing with matrix numbers that end in -1A on both sides (with no "RE -1" in the matrix) with an alternative mix that was immediately deleted and reissued, also in a cover that had no title, just Neil's Photo.  Keeper copy.

Please see the details below about the cover, vinyl, labels and everything else you might want to know.

PLEASE CHECK my Feedback which will show you my grading, Cover/Vinyl, of other 45rpms and LPs I have recently sold graded EX- (or whatever) and what the lucky people who bought them think of them and our experience. The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels. 

I offer full refund including shipping both ways for USA buyers in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase).  Comes cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaner and placed in a new dust-free sleeve for your grandchildren.  And at least one plastic sleeves for moisture protection (for you and me).

Cover Condition: Excellent Minus (EX-) cover. 

No writing on seam or spine splits; just very light age wear on cover and an errant piece of tape on the side of the gatefold cover that does not contain the vinyl; don't know why the tape is there, because it is impossible for the cover seam to "split" there. 

Also, there is a small one inch tear in the middle of the gatefold (which CANNOT be seen through the spine; the spine is still solid.  It can only be seen from the inside of the gatefold cover when the cover is open.  Please SEE all my photos; I did not take them for fun and frolic and they could answer any question you have. 

Vinyl Condition: Excellent Minus (EX-).  Plays better, but down-graded due to one visual issue noted below.  Keeper copy; Matrix numbers in dead-wax end with -1A on both sides, indicating an extremely early alternative mix pressing which you can easily distinguish from the quickly reissued version (less piano heavy, more guitar heavy on the remixed version) which has "RE-1" in the matrix numbers on at least one side. 

Visually, there is a scratch over Track A1 and a portion of A2 which can be partially felt but amazingly it does not affect play, but looks bad visually.  Vinyl plays EX / better with otherwise just a few light paper marks and meaningless light scuffs.  Play graded from my collection, and comes cleaned on my KLA Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine (like I always do).

Labels. Near Mint (NM) labels (that is a shadow of my head covering the word "Stereo" at the bottom of the first photo of the labels; it is not a stain). Please look at my photos in case I missed something.

Inserts: Comes cleaned in new rice paper-type inner sleeve.

Packaging.  I clean all vinyl on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original.  I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve from the cover after cleaning, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic innersleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool records transition to your record collection.  I use sturdy carboard containers with real corners and pack in an MLP-1 oversize box with corner protectors, or a regular NICE cardboard box with at least two insert stiffeners, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and/or “Fragile” or something like that to help facilitate a safe passage.

Shipping and Payment.  PayPal only.  I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . .  I offer full refund on this record to USA buyers including shipping both ways.  CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  Please add sales tax!
