Just listened to this one for the first time last night.  Not only is it great musically, but the pressing quality is absolutely fantastic.  Dead quiet background and nary a pop or click.



Not only is it a great pressing, the recording is exceptional, especially for a live album. The micing (is that a word :scratch:) on his guitar and voice are near perfect. And this was 1971. Neil has a history of playing songs live before they are released on an album and this live album contains songs from Harvest which was released later.

Yes, I would agree that the mic placement seemed spot on.  Normally I don't find the recording quality of live albums to be all that great, but this one has just as much quality as if he was in a studio in my opinion.  Just getting into Neil Young and I think Harvest might be next on my list to acquire.

Can anyone recommend a good pressing of PF's Animals to pick up?  I was on discogs looking around, but there seem to be many versions of this album available and I'm not sure if the pressing quality is any better on one than another.

This set is fabulous. It's pricey as all get out and getting hard to find........

 Neil Young Official Release Series Disc 1-4


If you want to try something a lot cheaper, I highly recommend this.........

Thanks for the recommendation decal.  That greatest hits looks to be a good one and is pressed at the same plant as Live at Massey Hall apparently.

On Takoma Records. The only other LP that I can think of that I own on this label is a Canned Heat record

180g remastered by James Guthrie. This is beautifully done. Dead quiet pressing and fanstastic sound. More detailed and airy than the original. Terrific depth in a soundstage that stretches well beyond the speakers. Nice artwork too. Well worth the $45.

This M/NM pressing on Lifesong Records cost me $10, but it is clearly worth it. A great album.

Paul, count me in for the summer concert :thumb:
