For those who do not know this album, let me say that this is Neil Young's most commercially successful and, above all today known far plate. And that, of course, mainly because of "Heart of Gold", a song that almost everyone is halfway listening music man knows somehow on earth. Overall, Young hovering here between wonderful folk ("Out on the Weekend", "old man"), brute rock à la Crazy Horse ("Alabama") and Orchesterschmonz ("A Man Needs a Maid", "There's a world"). This mix of styles is not easy for stretchers on an album but you can hear every song kinda like, which is probably also to Neil Young's own best pathos that hovers over every song. And all the many years that the CD now exists, Mr. Young has stood up to a remastering. Klangafficionados had already for DVD-Audio or vinyl grip to enjoy this masterpiece of the highest quality because the original CD was and is a tonal scrap heap with Abwrackprämiencharakter. But now more compromises, because the recent remastering on this disc is extremely successful. The tonal balance is perfect and the stereo image was hoisted onto the original level. Everything sounds airy open and breathing fine now. So this record should sound. It is almost perfect - almost. After all, who knows the vinyl reissue of Warner Music from the beginning of the millennium with the catalog number 075992723916, who knows that it actually gets even better. There, the bass is still tighter, the highs sparkle a bit more and the overall sound is more dynamic. There is now speculation that mastering is closer to the master tape, but is also a fact that still meets the new CD the wishes of many "Harvest" fans and the album is now available in the sound where it belongs, in the ranks of the most wonderful plates of popular music history.
