The original vinyl record is part of my collection :-)
Some info about this album for the younger ones:
Harvest has been the most anxiously awaited album of the year and it is indeed an admirable showcase for the genius of Mr. Neil Young. His melodies are hypnotically insistent, framed in lyrics that have a strange drifting quality. He is joined by CS&N, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and backed by the Stray Gators. "Old Man," "Alabama," and "Out on the Weekend" seem instant successes. "Heart of Gold" is, of course, included.
Billboard 1972
Harvest yielded Young's only Number One hit, "Heart of Gold," and helped set the stage for the Seventies soft-rock explosion -- both James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt sing on the album. Along with Young, they were in Nashville to appear on Johnny Cash's variety show the week that Harvest was cut with an odd group of accomplished session players that included bassist Tim Drummond, who had played with James Brown. The sound was Americana -- steel guitar, slide guitar, banjo -- stripped down and rebuilt with every jagged edge exposed. The standout tracks include "Old Man" and "The Needle and the Damage Done."
Harvest was chosen as the 78th greatest album of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine in Dec. 2003.
