NEIL YOUNG - Harvest

Item Description

Vinyl, , Textured, No Pressing Plant Indicators
LP Album

This is an early U.S. issue in a textured sleeve, with no distinguishable pressing plant identifiers in its deadwax.

Gatefold sleeve is rough card with the "ostrich leather" texture.
Issued with custom inner sleeve and fold-out lyrics poster insert, both also on rough paper stock.
Inside gatefold is smooth pasteover stock.

Reprise labels are solid tan with STEREO indications at bottom, and a single groove-like pressing ring of 69mm (2 11/16th") diameter. This ring alone is not enough to differentiate between the various plants known to be in use by WB/Reprise at that time.

Both sides are mastered by Lee Hulko (aka LH) at Sterling Sound, and feature the STERLING stamp over a small '2', with initials 'LH' nearby. The main runout matrix numbers are etched in a round, careful hand with mock serifs.
