Description
Offered for sale is a copy of the orange vinyl “promotional” 12″ single of Cowgirl in the Sand/Southern Man by Neil Young, issued in Canada in 1977.
Note: We put the word “promotional” in quotes, as this single was reportedly an unauthorized release.
About this copy: This copy of “Cowgirl in the Sand” is a 1977 Canadian pressing on the Reprise label.
The disc was issued in a plain white cover that is VG+, with slight general wear.
The orange vinyl disc is M- and looks unplayed. Clean disc!
A beautiful copy of a scarce Neil Young EP and the first copy we’ve had for sale in many years.
Background: Released in 1977, this odd 12″ single claims to be a Canadian promotional item featuring two tracks from Neil Young’s then-new triple album Decade.
The disc was pressed on what appear to be legitimate Reprise labels and say “Made in Canada” on the labels. While there is no indication the label that the record was created as a promotional item, these are usually described that way when they are offered for sale.
The creation of these discs was reportedly not authorized by Reprise Records and the discs were likely made by a record company employee on their own time.
