Roxy - (Tonight's The Night Live) - 2018 European Reprise label 18-track 3-Sided 2LP Set - RSD 2018

Scarce immediately out of print 2018 European Reprise label 18-track 3-Sided 2LP Set - featuring live performances from Youngs celebrated diamond in the rough album, 'Tonight?s The Night', recorded at the now legendary and then brand new West Hollywood based club, The Roxy, backed by the Santa Monica Flyers - pedal steel player Ben Keith, multi-instrumentalist Nils Lofgren, and the Crazy Horse rhythm of bassist section Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina - 'recorded live, with no clean up' - as Young puts it in the liner notes.

'It's a testament to Young's indelible songwriting that a slight alteration in speed or sound can change the emotional tenor of his songs, and it's what makes this reissue a worthy addition for both avid Young collectors and casual fans.' Erin Osmond, Pitchfork

Vinyl is spread over three sides - leaving the last for an etching. Vinyls are housed in illustrated liner inners - accompanied by larger black & white photo print of Young and The Santa Monica Flyers on stage - everything housed in a gatefod picture cover - released limited to 9000 copies in conjunction with Record Store Day 2018.


Condition: 2xVG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/2xVG++ - M- (Inner Sleeves)/M- (Insert)/M- (Cover):

Vinyl has almost no signs of play or handling - a touch of sleeve wear and otherwise mint. Perfect labels.

One inner sleeve har a marginal mid-lower pressure point - the other is perfect. Insert is mint - as is picture cover... hard to find this nice.
