NEIL YOUNG Neil's Personal ZUMA LP Test Pressing With FULL DOCUMENTATION

Description: Neil Young's personal test pressing of his 1975 album Zuma, with full documentation. The provenance is best explained by the included letter of authenticity from longtime Young associate Joel Bernstein: This letter is to authenticate a test pressing of Neil Young's classic album Zuma, pressed at the Columbia Records pressing plant in Terre Haute, Indiana. This test pressing belonged to Neil Young, who gave it to me. I photographed Neil Young for the first time at his first East Coast show with Crazy Horse, at the Bitter End in New York City, in February 1969. I went on to work with Neil extensively, as both his and CSNY’s tour photographer, and shooting him for eighteen of his album covers (including After The Gold Rush, Harvest, Time Fades Away, Tonight’s The Night, Decade, and Rust Never Sleeps) plus numerous other official projects including publicity, advertising, songbooks, posters, et al. On various tours from 1973-1993, I also worked with Neil as his guitar technician; and served as his archivist for 20 years, researching and presenting him with every source for audio, artwork and text used in his massive box set Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972. During the course of working for Neil, he gave me various acetates, test pressings, set lists and other memorabilia. Neil knew I was a collector and he wasn’t, so once he was done with things like this, instead of throwing it away, he often gave it to me. Sincerely, Joel Bernstein.
