Neil Young Prairie Wind  Factory Sealed 200 Gram LP (2 LP Set, Incudes 18 page Booklet)

ORIGINAL 200 GRAM AUDIOPHILE FIRST EDITION  SEALED LP - TREMENDOUSLY RARE OUT OF PRINT VERY LIMITED EDITION PRESSING RUN  - WITH THE COMPLETE PLASTIC WRAP SEALING THE ITEM NOT THE SECOND GENERATION WITH THE 3/4 SEAL AND THE STICKER ON TOP AS THE SEAL.

THIS IS OUR LAST COPY FOREVER OF THIS EDITION

This Limited Edition Audiophile Mastered LP (from the Original Session Tapes) was mastered by Classic.   This 200 Gram Heavy Vinyl LP has been critically acclaimed as the finest and quietest ever produced of  recording.  It is a new listening experience that will virtually make you feel as if you were in the studio.

Classic Records has proven to be an Audiophile Company second to none in the new millennium. But Classic Records, unlike other top Audiophile Companies, does not place Limited Edition numbers on their LP jackets.

Classic Records has just announced that their vinyl weight of 200 gram is now changing on some titles to 180 gram. 

What this change did for Collectors of the finest vinyl pressings was establish a First Edition element to Classic Records Audiophile pressings. SOME Classic Records titles that were only produced in 200 Gram pressings are now Out of Print and Very Limited Edition Collector's First Edition Pressings.

These First Editions have become some of the rarest pressings in the Audiophile Collector's Market. Just try to find them at any Audiophile Retailer after the next few months. You might still find some limited inventory of M-F-S-L or DCC pressings and some of these 200 gram Classic Records titles will now become that rare  in the collectors market. They are simply gone from the market and Mymusicfix has seen some these First ORIGINAL COMPLETE SEALED Editions sell for over $300.

When you take that into consideration, what will this First Edition Audiophile Pressing be worth in the years ahead? It could be one of the most collectible pressings ever in 200 Gram First Editions.

How rare and valuable are each one of these 200 gram sets now still Factory Sealed? Priceless!

Mymusicfix has a very limited amount of these now Rare Factory Sealed pressings. We're sure you may not have known about some of these titles existed. Have fun collecting these Masterpieces!

These are tremendous titles and artists that Mymusicfix still has in these 200 Gram First Edition STICKERS but we have very few pieces left of each title and prices will
continue to rise as inventory continues to dwindle.

Prairie Wind is an adventure akin to taking a drive through one's own life stopping off to revisit old friends and loved ones along the way. For Neil Young fans this album delivers songs that instantly stick in your mind as familiar. Tunes like "Falling Off The Face Of The Earth" and "The Painter" evoke thoughts of introspection that remind us of our humanity and its ultimate fragility. "No Wonder" feels like a early 70's anthem applied to more recent events while "Far From Home", with its bluesy harmonic interludes and horn accompaniment, tells a story of fond reminiscence of childhood and growing up. "It's A Dream" incites one to confront how fleeting our surroundings are and ,in a sense, the desire to have them remain as more than "just a memory without anywhere to stay". The title track weaves the same bluesy harmonica and horn section with a group backup singers to create an eerie and evocative scene. Neil Young has created in "Here for You" possibly the ultimate love song with a pace and harmonica rifts reminiscent of Bob Dylan in the mid 60's if he'd been in Nashville. "This Old Guitar" is a masterful story of life that is impossible not to relate to in one way or another and features a great backing vocal from Emmy Lou Harris making this tune even more special. "He Was King" is clearly a tribute to Elvis which harkens back to an easier time. The final track "When God Made Me" asks the questions about our humanity we all ponder at some time in our lives. This is an album, dedicated to his father that Neil Young made for himself, his friends and family and is giving, as a gift, to the rest of us. We can all benefit from the insights contained here and possibly gain some important perspectives on life - thanks Neil. Classic Records, in cooperation with Reprise Records and Neil Young are proud to present "Prairie Wind" as a Deluxe 2 LP gatefold edition. Included is an 18 page 12" x 12" booklet with lyrics and photos printed with soy based inks on paper that is from sustainable forests and Rain Forest Alliance certified. The LP mastering and cutting was done at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood by Chris Bellman using the original 1/2" analog master tapes with plating and pressing on Classic's proprietary 200g QUIEX Super Vinyl Profile at RTI. The sound is, to put it bluntly, without compare and sets a new standard for sonic achievement. Is this Grammy worthy? You bet it is. As an added bonus, side 4 of the set is an interview with Neil discussing guitars, equipment, music, musicians and musical arrangers among others things. Not to be missed!

Facing potentially life-threatening surgery, Young entered the recording studio to express his ruminations on the fragility and wonders of life. The spectacularly natural analog sound floods the space between your speakers with a pristine clarity and dynamic power that will convince you Young and crew are in your room playing just for you. I imagine that's how he wanted it. As for the incredible packaging: try downloading that!"
