NEIL YOUNG Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Reactor (LP) New

When the ricocheted clangs slice through Shots, Young’s voice quivers against Crazy Horse’s cratered distortion. Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s Re·ac·tor (1981) is the lean, combative end of his Reprise run before the much-discussed Geffen detour. It’s the band at their most blunt, all ragged mid‑tempo chug and grinding vamps, with real dry humor and a stubborn pulse and sweat throughout the set. T-Bone turns a single phrase into a hypnotic, lumbering mantra that tests the edges of repetition. Southern Pacific folds a rail-worker’s lament into chiming, high-lonesome changes and a rolling groove. This LP pressing lets the low end sit deeper. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Neil Young records online with us. File it beside Zuma or Rust Never Sleeps, but expect early 80s bluntness, unpolished bite, and an industrial stomp rather than widescreen dynamics. Art nuts will appreciate the stark red sleeve reproduced crisply and boldly. A prickly, underrated bridge between the ragged 70s and the experiments still to come. Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
