On his songs for Buffalo
Springfield, Neil Young had demonstrated an eclecticism that ranged from the
rock of "Mr. Soul" to the complicated, multi-part arrangement of
"Broken Arrow." On his debut solo album, he continued to work with composer/arranger
Jack Nitzsche, with whom he had made "Expecting to Fly" on the
Buffalo Springfield Again album, and together the two recorded a restrained
effort on which the folk-rock instrumentation, most of which was by Young,
overdubbing himself, was augmented by discreet string parts. The country &
western elements that had tinged the Springfield's sound were also present,
notably on the leadoff track, "The Emperor of Wyoming," an
instrumental that recalled the Springfield song "A Child's Claim to
Fame." Still unsure of his voice, Young sang in a becalmed high tenor that
could be haunting as often as it was listless and whining. He was at his least
appealing on the nine-and-a-half-minute closing track, "The Last Trip to
Tulsa," on which he accompanied himself with acoustic guitar, singing an
impressionistic set of lyrics seemingly derived from Bob Dylan's Highway 61
Revisited. But double-tracking and the addition of a female backup chorus
improved the singing elsewhere, and on "The Loner," the album's most
memorable track, Young displayed some of the noisy electric guitar work that
would characterize his recordings with Crazy Horse and reminded listeners of
his ability to turn a phrase. Still, Neil Young made for an uneven, low-key
introduction to Young's solo career, and when released it was a commercial
flop, his only album not to make the charts. (Several months after the album's
release, Young remixed it to bring out his vocals more and added some overdubs.
This second version replaced the first in the U.S. from then on, though the
original mix remained available overseas.)

CONDITION:
·
RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE:
unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!;
we grade records under the strong,
diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a)
WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++.
A few light abrasions ARE VISIBLE, but
they appear fairly insignificant
relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately
visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any
MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and
the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
(b)
The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which
was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on
such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not
expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(c)
The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.
(d)
Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior,
digital recording!!!
