TCCDM Pulls One Out..."After The Gold Rush" (w/Pink Text) - Neil Young (1970 - Rei 1976)

"After The Gold Rush" (w/Pink Text) - Neil Young (1970 - Rei 1976)

     I'm showing this Neil Young album because it's the rare-ish 1976 reissue with pink text instead of the usual yellow-gold.  I wasn't a fly on the wall when Neil found out, but apparently, he was plenty pissed and demanded that the albums be yanked from stores PDQ.  And that's what they did.  The pink text copies were pulled from record shelves faster than you can say 'hey-hi-you!'  How many actually got out is unknown, but it's safe to say not all that many.  I mean, they're out there, but...  So I guess in the whole Rock and Roll records scheme of things, these pink-text albums are like leprechauns.  I mean, they're around, but you don't see'em very often. 

     Some copies are known to fetch relatively high dollars.  Over $100 from time to time.  You're probably not gonna get rich, but there's still something cool about an album, "rare or different," that's hard to resist.

      If you're lucky, you'll only pay about what you would expect to pay for a used 1976 copy.  About $10 or $15 dollars.  Maybe even less.  The pink-text leprechaun isn't all that well-known.  And if you do spot one, consider it your lucky charm and a story you can tell.  Anyway, summer's almost here, and the time is right for dancing in the street.  Or maybe just at houses with yard sale signs out front and boxes of records to go through.  Good hunting...and keep an eye out for the pink.  

(The album should come with a large-sized lyrics insert)

    By the way, here is a link to an earlier posting at The College Crowd...TCCDM "...Gold Rush"...with pics of the regular yellow/gold front cover, back cover, the inside gatefold, the track listings, and a song video.  Also, I left a link to a cool video from my friend Ron over at The Hog's Ear Report, which features other cool album finds.  A longtime member of The Vinyl Community.  If you like his channel...Subscribe.  You'll be glad you did.
