Neil Young ? "Decade" Reprise Records ?REP 64 037 German Pressing.
Compilation 3×Vinyl, LPs, housed in a double gate-fold sleeve with a removable middle panel. The LP was issued in 1977 and pressed in Germany.
All three albums appear to have been lightly played and are in great shape. They play through beautifully on my stereo without any hop, stick or jump. The double gate-fold sleeve with removable middle panel shows some signs of wear to the spine and corners but is intact with no writing etc. Matrix/Run Out Side 1 ; R/S Alsdorf 64037 A2 Strawberry G Matrix/Run Out Side 2 ; R/S Alsdorf 64037 B3 Matrix/Run Out Side 3 ; R/S Alsdorf 64037 C3 Strawberry G Matrix/Run Out Side 4 ; R/S Alsdorf 64037 D3 Matrix/Run Out Side 5 ; R/S Alsdorf 64037 E2 Strawberry G Matrix/Run Out Side 6 ; R/S Alsdorf 64037 F3
"Decade" is a compilation by Neil Young, originally released in 1977 as a triple album. It contains 35 of Young's songs recorded between 1966 and 1976, among them five tracks that had been unreleased up to that point. It peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, and was certified platinum by the RIAA in 1986.
Compiled by Young himself, with his hand-written liner notes about each track, "Decade" represents almost every album from his career and various affiliations through 1977 with the exception of "Four Way Street" and "Time Fades Away". Of the previously unreleased songs, "Down to the Wire" features the New Orleans pianist Dr. John with Buffalo Springfield on an item from their shelved "Stampede" album; "Love Is a Rose" was a minor hit for Linda Ronstadt in 1975; "Winterlong" received a cover by Pixies on the Neil Young tribute album from 1989, "The Bridge"; and "Campaigner" is a Young song critical of Richard Nixon. The track "Long May You Run" is a different mix to that found on the album of the same name, featuring the harmonies of the full Crosby Stills & Nash before David Crosby and Graham Nash left the recording sessions.
The album has been lauded in many quarters as one of the best examples of a career retrospective for a rock artist, and as a template for the box set collections that would follow in the 1980s and beyond.
