Neil Young: Official Release Series 1-4
Numbered (#1326) and limited edition box set from the Neil Young camp containing his first 4 LPs:
Neil Young Everybody Knows This is Nowhere After the Goldrush Harvest
Quickly approaching 10 years old, this edition of 3,000 went out of print fast and is continuing to rise in value as collectors realize the quality and rarity of these sets.  This one has been on my shelf since it came out and by no means thrown around. Always played with care and stored with records kept outside the jackets in a poly outer sleeve.

Each title was beautifully remastered and pressed on 180g high quality vinyl at Pallas.

Cover art was faithfully reproduced, including calling on the last printing mill in the US that could replicate the original texture of the Harvest cover to do so.  Each sleeve was recreated in a Stoughton tip-on sleeve and includes all original inserts and posters.

The Box
This box looks great in many regards!  Its only major flaw being a neatly split corner on one side.  I believe this to be a common problem on these boxes with the paper wrapped so tight around the cardboard.  Number is still bright gold.  See the photos for quality, it is photographed in a poly box set sleeve. All jackets are NM with no noticeable flaws.
The Records
I went over these records pretty closely and found the only thing at all to take away from a mint grade was the small spot I photographed on Harvest (just left of the shine mark.)  These are in truly great condition and were kept in the rice-paper inner sleeves they shipped in.
Any questions at all, please ask!  I can add photographs if I forgot any.  This video (https://youtu.be/ilzkuEY0sDc) shows a quick unboxing if you're looking for more of a hand on look at the set.
Thanks for looking!
