Neil Young - Sugar Mountain

Posted by: fathings cat on 03 April 2009

Has anyone bought the somewhat charming Sugar Mountain by Mr Young on vinyl?

Any thoughts on where to purchase?

Thanks
Gary

I've been waiting for this too - and I see Diverse Vinyl have it listed for release on 15th April - but at £75 I'm going to have a serious talk with myself first!

It's £50 on ebay but that's still a lot of cash for a record that sounds mighty fine on CD.

I'll probably be strung up for this but I found the cd slightly disappointing after the fantastic Massey Hall album. Alot of hissing (not the crowd I hasten to add) which would make me extremely reluctant to spend the vast amount being sought for the vinyl without first hearing it to check for quality.

The cd version at least affords one the opportunity to move on through the talking parts which must surely wear thin after the first hearing?

I agree with you Peter. The amount of hiss from this recording has meant that I have listened to it just the once. I found it very off-putting.
