@bkeske: I feel the same about Harvest, by far my favorite of Neil’s many albums. The NYA (Neil Young Archives) reissue provides noticeably improved sound quality over the original pressing. He also redid all the Buffalo Springfield albums, available in a 5-LP boxset: the debut and BS Again on both mono and stereo LP’s, Last Time Around stereo only, again with improved sound quality. Thanks for the heads up on that one @slaw!
Another audiophile-quality reissue of somewhat related music is the Intervention Records LP of The Flying Burrito Brothers’ album The Gilded Palace of Sin. The common wisdom regarding that album and The Byrds Sweetheart Of The Rodeo (the last with Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons, who thereafter left to start TFBB) is that neither found an audience, but that sure wasn’t my experience. Every musician and music fanatic I knew loved both albums, along with Dylan’s John Wesley Harding. All the above albums plus The Band’s albums (and those of CSN & sometimes Y ;-) were in constant rotation on every turntable I knew in the late-60’s/early-70’s. They all hold up extremely well, don’t they?
