Best LP version of Neil Young's Harvest Moon

[Honreekea]

I was  wondering if anyone knows, which is the best version of Harvest Moon on Lp?

 

The original pressing of one of the later pressings?

Here is a discogs link to the various pressings.

Here is a pic just for reference.

My current copy is the 2017 US release on Reprise Records and I no longer have the original pressing to compare it to. This copy is a good pressing though, quiet and with good dynamics, so I have no complaints.

 

Cheers,

There will be another version once Mr Young releases his next box set in the archive series. I’m hanging out for that one as it should have Sleeps with Angels.

Do you have an idea how long I will have to hang in there?

How long is a piece of string? It’s usually a few years in-between box sets and the last one emerged about a year and a half ago.

So I picked up a version of the 2017 Reprise Record Day. 

Even though I thought I was buying a black vinyl copy ( as the pics where of the black version). In the guff, clear vinyl was mentioned.

As a proto audiophile, can I live with the clear version? Will it sound worse than a black version.  So far, google gives "perhaps it might" sound version, maybe not.... message.

 

What does the brains trust reckon?

Hello Honreekea, my copy is a 2LP on black vinyl and the side 4 is etched with the album cover pic. Not sure how the clear vinyl will sound, but I've noticed they have improved the SQ of the coloured and clear discs in recent times, so let us know how it sounds.

Sounds good. Clear vinyl is disconcerting. Can't see the dust, breaks between songs etc
