About
Following the dissolution of Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young set out on his own with this quirky debut album that charts his evolution to come. A touch more psych rock than his later work, this LP sees Young trying many different styles, including long-winded folk sagas like “The Last Trip to Tulsa,” stomping rock chargers like “The Loner,” and melancholy ballads like “The Old Laughing Lady.” It’s the sound of an artist at the start of his journey, considering all the paths he might take.

Early issues of this album (c1969/70) contain a different master which includes Haeco-CSG processing and alternate mixes of "If I Could Have Her Tonight", "Here We Are In The Years" and "What Did You Do To My Life".
These early versions are generally identifiable by a sleeve that does not have Neil Young's name on the front cover, though some transitional copies exist with a later record in an early sleeve.
In the US and some other regions, the revised mixes can be identified by RE-1 in runouts, while in the UK, the original mix can be identified by "✳T" in runouts.
Later copies with the W logo in the rim text are all the revised mix, but no longer have RE-1 in the runouts.
