CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Released in early 1969, Neil Young's first solo album is essentially an extension of "Broken Arrow" and "Expecting to Fly," his two most inventive contributions to Buffalo Springfield. Jack Nitzsche arranged and produced several of the tracks, fusing haunting strings and even funky female backing vocals to acoustic-oriented songs like "Here We Are in the Years" and "The Old Laughing Lady." "The Loner" is the one song from Neil Young to achieve classic-rock immortality, but "I've Been Waiting for You" is almost as good, and the rambling "Last Trip to Tulsa" presages the dark acoustic epics of On the Beach. Though it's not an essential album, Neil Young-like the man himself-is rarely less than interesting. --Dan Epstein Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWhich mix is whix? dick smobey | alabama | 01/11/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "As mentioned previously, the first edition of this album on vinyl was completely different from the soon remixed vinyl lp with the big white Neil Young banner across the top. If you ever see one with the painting full and no banner, pay whatever it takes. The overdubs and effects are very different than any version released since. Very layered, with none of the mixed-to-the-top guitars of version b. 1a all makes better sense. A couple of songs are ruined by bringing background rhythm guitar to the top. Jack Nitzche's oversight was meant to be as originally mixed and is also one of his best, if not his best production(s).
Very much an extension of the experimentaion on Buffalo Springfield Again, Neil Young 1a is very psychedelic and makes a very trippy adventure completely unlike anything since. I love raw Neil, and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is fabulous in a whole different way. But this first mix of Neil Young needs to see CD release. Please Neil. This fact has pretty much disappeared and most people, even avid fans aren't aware. I just happened to buy a first issue release, the only one in town. I loved it so much I bought one for my girlfriend a year later. I was shocked by what are in some places, drastic changes. Very briefly on one of the old Warner/Reprise 2 dollar 2 record samplers, there is a line about Neil not liking his vocals on his first record and insisting on remixing them. Don't know what you can do to hear it, even my copy got worn a good bit, so my attempts to digitize result in emphasize the surface noise, but I wouldn't sell it for any amount. So now you know. That said this is still a great album in any mix. Coupled now with the new Sugar Mountain live set, done to prepare for the release of this album, it illuminates a period of prolific and top of his game Young." |
