    Brilliant album. The scene where they are in the Nashville studio--all playing in the same room at the same time, no isolation booths, just capturing the sound of the whole group as they play, is one of the things that makes this record sound so good. Top tier players-- and though I know some people find Neil's voice nasal or grating, you have to take it like an instrument and treat it as part of the overall sound. It's a glorious listen as an original Hulko if you can find one that isn't chewed up--they tend to be noisy. Though he recorded several albums after Harvest--the so-called "Ditch Trilogy"-- it's Zuma that grabs me next- really dirty, spare compared to Harvest, but a great sounding record that utterly rocks.

        Brilliant album through and through. I'll have to check the deadwax for the LH descriptor on a U.S. original I bought 2 years ago.

            If you asked a recording studio today to record your band like this (no isolation booths), they would laugh at you and say "you can't do that" or some other such nonsense.

            Beatles "Yer Blues" on the White Album had a similar "real acoustic" recording. Recorded without mic isolation because they were in a very small side room off the main Abby Road room (I think a mic closet). A really good "you are there" recording as a result.
