Notes:

This is an early U.S. issue in a textured sleeve, with no distinguishable pressing plant identifiers in its deadwax. Gatefold sleeve is rough card with the "ostrich leather" texture. Issued with custom inner sleeve and fold-out lyrics poster insert, both also on rough paper stock. Inside gatefold is smooth pasteover stock. Reprise labels are solid tan with STEREO indications at bottom, and a single groove-like pressing ring of 69mm (2 11/16th") diameter. This ring alone is not enough to differentiate between the various plants known to be in use by WB/Reprise at that time. Both sides are mastered by Lee Hulko (aka LH) at Sterling Sound, and feature the STERLING stamp over a small '2', with initials 'LH' nearby. The main runout matrix numbers are etched in a round, careful hand with mock serifs. Spine text: NEIL YOUNG / HARVEST / MS 2032 0598 ©1972 – WARNER BROS. RECORDS INC. – PRINTED IN U.S.A.
