    Damn how much did you get this one for? Another ebay find like Mirrorball?
    Not quite, got this one from Discogs, US$50 including shipping, so am pretty happy with that, such a great album! Also have another Neil album turning up soon... :)

    Damn... how you keep finding these things for such a steal is beyond me. Ive never seen it for less than 100 bucks.. You must just get lucky. If you ever see Mirorrball and Ragged Glory for a decent price let me know lol

    It never ceases to amaze me how much these records are going for. I bought this album new when it came out for something like $7.99 and asked how much the record store owner wanted for the large poster that was put out for the release (the one that says "feedback is back" across the photo) that they had in the window. "Oh, you can have it," the guy said, and then pulled it down, rolled it up and off I went, a hugely happy huge Neil fan! And now the record alone- $50 to $100? Crazy.

    This is one of my favorite N.Y. records but they really need to reissue this on two vinyl discs. The record is too long for one disc. The grooves are tiny and that compromises the sound a bit. Better than the CD, for sure, but it need to go to two discs to deliver the full power of The Horse.

    Yeah I did get lucky, it was 23 Euros, which came to US$33 for the record alone, US$50 all up. There are deals to be found out there for sure, patience is the key I guess. There are quite a few records I'm after that are considered pricey, but I just keep an eye out and when there's a bargain I swoop on in haha! For sure I'll keep an eye out for you, I saw Mirrorball again recently for US$100 with free shipping, is that a good price for you or too steep?

    $100 US with free shipping is decent. I'd pay that for sure.

    They used to cal me "Lucky Lux" :lol:

    The poster was definitely good luck. The record itself was just the going rate when vinyl was king. :D

    Haha, well there's definitely alot worse nicknames you could have!

    So Brian, I'd be very interested to know exactly what you do have from Neil Young on vinyl. Could you make a list or take a photo or something of your Neil collection, including Crazy Horse stuff too please?

    They're all in great shape except the bootleg which a friend gave to me. Even that is not too bad. I'm pretty fussy about keeping records clean and in good inner and outer sleeves. Favorites- oh my, yes, so hard to choose! If I had to pick just five I'd say Zuma, Rust Never Sleeps, Ragged Glory, Mirror Ball and Broken Arrow based in which ones I've listened to the most. But on the other hand, when I'm in the mood to hear it there is no album in the world like "Tonight's the Night" and for just two or three cuts alone I can't imagine not having "Year of the Horse". And every album has at least something remarkable on it.

    How about you, reesdog? Any strong favorites?

    Nice choices Brian, I'm a big Neil fan, but am sorry to say have never heard the classic Tonight's the Night, I must remedy that soon! So my fave's, well like I said I don't have nearly as many on vinyl as you, only:

    After the Goldrush
    Greatest Hits
    Mirrorball
    On The Beach
    Live Rust
    & Ragged Glory

    Mirrorball and Ragged Glory are the one's I've listened to the most so they are up there for sure. I have Sleeps with Angels, Psychedelic Pill, Harvest, Harvest Moon and Rust Never Sleeps on CD, and of them definitely Harvest I've played the most, love that album.

    Also, I mentioned I have something arriving in the post on vinyl that isn't even on your list, and it's a huge favourite of mine, will post once it arrives in the next week or two. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised... ;)

    Cool! Very much looking forward to seeing what Neil treasure you've unearthed, reesdog!

    I hope I can say with honesty that when you finally hear it you'll love "Tonight's the Night". It's a dark, smokey, boozy, moody, mellow, sometimes funky, totally honest, slightly crude, ragged edged classic Neil Young record. Some find it too sloppy. I think the only way this album could be made to evoke these moods and purge the ghosts that were chasing Neil at the time was under the late night, tequila tinged, down and out but not defeated conditions in which it was made. When listened to at the right time and in the right space, there's just nothing that quite compares. I can't imagine not having this N.Y. album. And the good thing is- it's readily available and affordable on vinyl!

    Yeah same, I went to his last show here, and noticed he had this same stage set up too. That was a very cool moment of recognition, plus they opened with Love and Only Love which is from this album also!

    I totally get it- seeing Pearl Jam was bucket list stuff and seeing them last year was fantastic. Have a great time with The Horse! :D
