SUPERB COPY OF ONE OF NEIL YOUNG'S FINEST ALBUMS IN YEARS (at the time of release) AND HIS RESPONSE, IN MANY WAYS, TO THE REJUVENATING PUNK MOVEMENT (I'm still here, rust never sleeps!) NAME-CHECKING JOHNNY ROTTEN ON "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue/Into The Black)"

Rust Never Sleeps, its aphoristic title drawn from an intended advertising slogan, was an album of new songs, some of them recorded on Neil Young's 1978 concert tour.
His strongest collection since Tonight's the Night, its obvious antecedent was Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home, and, as Dylan did, Young divided his record into acoustic and electric sides while filling his songs with wildly imaginative imagery.
The leadoff track, "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" (repeated in an electric version at album's end as "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" with slightly altered lyrics), is the most concise and knowing description of the entertainment industry ever written; it was followed by "Thrasher," which describes Young's parallel artistic quest in an extended metaphor that also reflected the album's overall theme -- the inevitability of deterioration and the challenge of overcoming it.
Young then spent the rest of the album demonstrating that his chief weapons against rusting were his imagination and his daring, creating an archetypal album that encapsulated his many styles on a single disc with great songs -- in particular the remarkable "Powderfinger" -- unlike anything he had written before.

Track Listing:
Side 1: My My Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) / Thrasher / Ride My Llama / Pocohontas / Sail Away
Side 2: Powderfinger / Welfare Mothers / Sedan Delivery / Hey Hey My My (Into The Black)

LABELS: Clean, bright and unmarked with no spindle traces or signs of use - I don't this copy has ever been played
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen and are completely unmarked - beautiful LP
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio throughout with a crystal clear, rich and detailed sound (great cut) and on playback at a very loud volume (which is how I always listen to my records prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise and no clicks or pops. The sound quality is simply sensational throughout and the whole LP plays to the highest possible standard with all frequencies bright and clear, no groove-wear and no distortion. Very strictly graded MINT for audio (it's flawless) this is a fantastic copy and they really don't come much better - fantastic LP and very, very highly recommended
SLEEVE: Clean, fresh and unmarked with just a little storage rubbing to the edges but with all spine text clear and bold - EXCELLENT
INNER SLEEVE: The photo inner is NEAR MINT with no splits to any of the edges - clean, bright and unmarked
INSERT: The lyric insert, printed on one side of thin glossy paper is EXCELLENT+ with just some light evidence of handling
