Can't find my version- same cover as this, but it has the green/ yellow reprise label. I bought it secondhand in 1994, so it can't be a recent press.

Sounds great to me. Not the NY I reach for often, but it has its niche.

Yep this is definitely a top top shelf press very nice

Is this release printed in Canada ? The info should be at the backside of the cover, bottom lines. Thank you.

My copy is flat, close to perfectly centered, and sounds terrific. One of the saving graces of this album: Neil's solo guitar work is terrific. While none of the songs are classics, they're all a good listen. The quieter songs have a real smokey, bluesy feel, with some terrific lead sax in addition to Neil's playing. Side note: Neil played some small venues as 'The Bluenotes,' and you only knew it was Neil Young by word of mouth (there was no internet).

Awesome late 1980's Neil album, with fantastic sounding although extremely lightweight vinyl. 'Coupe De Ville', 'Twilight' & 'One Thing' are real sonic standouts.

Definitely an underrated album from Neil during one of his most polarizing periods. As a blues fan, I feel like this is a terrific album and it's great to hear Neil cuttin' loose with some tasty blues licks. With the production mix of horns and guitars here, it does sound like an "80s blues" record, but the playing is great and the songs sound amazing.

The pressing itself is perfect and being an all-analog mastering by Chris Bellman never hurts. The vinyl is dead flat, silent, and extremely dynamic. Well worth it for fans of blues and Neil!

One of the better albums Neil put out during what can only be described as a very confusing time for him in the 80's.

I have this album, though without “the Bluetones” on the labels.
