Also a fan of this, the vinyl doesn't come out too often but it is a truly beautiful artefact.
Some great songs, occasionally the raggedness of the performance grates on me but truthfully it's as honest an album as Tonight's The night, perhaps even more so.
Young played a Flying V on this tour after being inspired to use it by Hendrix, and due to the fact his Les Paul had to have it's pickups replaced. He absolutely hated it and couldn't get it to sound how he wanted.
I hope they do do something with it, either a remaster or the TFA2 that has been touted.
At least he released On the Beach eventually, so hope is there for this.
I remember when finding this, On The Beach and Journey Through The Past OST were like the defining aims of my life.
Eventually picked up a bootleg of On The Beach from a record shop in the basement of an arcade on the corner of Slater and Wood Street, can't even remember what it was called but I used to go in there all the time. Can;t even think what that building is now, this must have been 2002 or something.
It had American Stars and Bars on the same CD, half of that is shite but it does at least have Like A Hurricane on it.
Ebay has made record hunting shit. And downloads.
I used to love having to really scour for stuff.
the Wolf King of LA by John Phillips was another one. took me years to find, got a bootleg CD that was obviously recorded from the vinyl.
Few years later, found a copy on vinyl on eBay, reissued. I love it but it was too easy, the hunt of the CD was so much more satisfying than the mouse click.
