We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

 MEGA RARE 1969 WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL REPRISE 

                      NO NAME ON COVER:        

                        NEIL YOUNG                 

              USA - (WHITE LABEL PROMO) Reprise Records - 6317

MEGA RARE ...ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMO, 1969 VERY FIRST PRINTING...THIS IS NOT THE '69 "RE"-MIX but rather the first issued mix that Neil young was not happy with...very rare and extrmeley hard to find as a White label promo, being as it was a limited pressing for radio stations...

SEE CONDITION DETAILS BELOW

RARE .... 1969 collectible of the very first NEIL YOUNG solo album ... a little seen pressing ...the thick gatefold cover with NO NAME on top of cover and all in NICE CLEAN condition (try and find a CLEAN 1969 cover like this! = near impossible)

Includes the printed Reprise Records inner sleeve  

Here is the deal, as we were advised: Apparently Neil Young was not happy with the original mix of this, his first album, so he got Reprise Records, still in 1969, to release it with a different mix to the songs...this '69 issue as a WHITE LABEL PROMO is really rare and almost never seen ...again, this is the FIRST MIX (before Neil Young complained and got it re-mixed & re-released)  

Sitting all alone in 1969 after fleeing the mighty BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD while 'Neil Young' plays aloud, hiding under bed covers, ditto, sitting upside down trying new ways to explore sonic resilience - all nouveau chic ways to get this confounded ballbreaker of an album to register, none have been successful to date. What remains here is mammoth production that presses up flood water style against a mix dogs with bionic ears wouldn't notice, songs with delusions of grandeur that finish before a middle eight arrives, or drift on with no heed to tags or any focus point, winding confusingly into 'The Last Trip to Tulsa', stop/start 'avant garde' folk ramble that cuts like a chainsaw through those splendid contemplative pieces Young had announced himself to the world with two years earlier. Go away beautiful bird, someone needs to forgive himself fast. Song sequencing meanders merrily across continuously abrasive spectrums, opening with over-rated instrumental 'The Emperor of Wyoming', 'String Quartet From Whiskey Boot Hill' planted from nowhere to make Neil look like a boy from a 19th century novel all scrubbed up to meet the king. His first venture towards new climates did bring two tunes which stand exempt from criticism, 'The Loner' scraping its claws through the murky mess, and perennial masterpiece 'The Old Laughing Lady', gospel, folk, free jazz, soul, amalgamated into a chord structure that makes it worth getting out of bed every day. Other artists would have withered after a similar career, but Neil Young had just started his engine.

CONDITION: The cover is the rare no name at top in thick gatefold rated: near VG+ hard to find this gatefold clean, this copy with light shelf rub on front, insides are M- clean, back is clean with KTXT radio station call letters at top left corner...still has bright colors, no delete marks, no split seams, no bends...no delete marks

The vinyl is all glossy over both sides, rated: VG with light scuffs, light hairlines, one you can feel (track 2 side one) plays with light surface sometimes, other times not, and better... white promo labels are both clean

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
