Neil Young - Tonight's The Night Vinyl

If you consider tequilla a drug. Neil's goofy in joke humor of the time.

 

The "In' Crowd...

You bean titting the hunny slides again Cassius?

Your posts are sounding more and more slurry like minds...

"If you consider tequilla a drug Neil's goofy in joke humor of the time..."

 

So...why is this particular record (reissue) so cheap?

 

..... more on "Waterface"

After a little research seems the Thrasher site says one possible explaination of the phrase Waterface might be Danny Whitten( rest his soul), who was prone to emotional bursts of sobbing. Make sense I guess.

The liner notes apparently say " Tell Waterface to put it in his lung and not his vein" also.

In'rsting.

 

Well said.
And if you try your vinyl cleaning method quite repeatedly, the noise may come off drastically.

 

Just finally played my brand new reissue I bought new back in 2006. This record sounds great. I don't have another vinyl copy to compare, but I am curious as to why this sounds so good. With the exception of a few pops in Albuquerque this record has good dynamics and the vinyl is real quiet. What a bargain!

 

I agree..... I have the CD and the Neil Young Heritage vinyl box to compare and it cost me €8. Easily the best sounding version of this album currently in print.
I would love to know the source for this.

 

I have this reissue as well and I was also very impressed with it. It sounds great, deep and dynamic. The album is just killer too.

 

What he said

 

I don't understand guys how you can tell the difference. I have the original black label and the orange label reissue.They both have the same textured cover and all the inserts.
Except,of course,for the different matrices as discussed above.
I can hear ABSOLUTELY no difference between the two.Mind you,the reissue has no surface noise,very quiet,so I could go as far as to say that I prefer listening to the reissue!
ARGhh,this forum has made me paranoid!

 

I'd be very interested in this reissue. I have an original promo copy in great shape, but it still plays with a near-distracting amount of crackle. The promo copy is a great collectible, but I picked up a German reissue of ZUMA and was blown away -- so maybe I'd have the same luck with this reissue as the others are having.

To those satisfied with the reissue, are these German-pressed copies, or American? Thanks!

 

Mine is a US one. I am sure there is also a German out there.

 

How many reissues of this album are there? I bought one a couple years ago at Best Buy, but it contained no inserts or anything. Of course, it was so cheap, I'm not complaining.

 

I just made a needledrop of a 1st pressing and the dynamic is so huge that I have to double the weight of my cartridge to avoid distortion!!!

 

No problem, I will PM you my address and you can send me the original!

Here's a pic of the three earliest pressings in the collection, all sound great,with the US promo copy perhaps ahead by a nose.

 

That sure was a good day.

 

Hopefully this will be reissued as one of ORS.

 

The reissue is good and the original is better. I'm doing a comparison right now. I'm no expert either but the original is just so open and dynamic. I picked both up for $4 each and both are worth it and more.

There's a band, Dead Confederate, that is covering this album at a local small venue the Tuesday after Christmas. This is why I pulled out the album. I think I'm going to have to go b/c it's just a $10 show.

 

I just got finished playing along (drums) with this and my original Zuma. I didn't even know this thread was here...
Anyway, I think the dealer cost on the re-issues is around 4 bucks and it really does sound fine to these ears.
I've got my original and will dig it out.
I remember a quote from Neil that went something like, '..it's not an album you put on and clean the house", or something to that effect.
I love the ditch triple of TTN, OTB, and Zuma. Some of my favorite Neil.

 

How do you know if you've never heard it ?

 

Mine too but one small thing...The Ditch Trilogy is considered to be: Time Fades Away, On The Beach and Tonight's The Night.

I don't think Zuma fits with those other three...Zuma is much more upbeat, in my opinion.

 

Thanks pool
ONe of my many 'duh' moments.
I knew that. Although, I felt like Ralph Molina tonight and had to play Zuma, too.
I guess it's 'too dark to put the keys in my ignition...'

 

Ahh, think nothing of it I like Zuma too.

 

I agree Zuma has a different vibe but there's still some heavy stuff on there. A track like Barstool Blues would certainly not be out of place on Tonight's the Night.
