This extremely LARGE original poster was folded into 18ths (to fit inside the record sleeve) and included in the 12” vinyl Promotional releases of Neil Young’s 1972 album Harvest. These special promo copies of the original release were sent by Reprise Records to local radio stations and distributors only. Very few were made, which makes this item very rare and difficult to find. It is quite an image to behold in its large 37” x 67 1/2” size with beautiful artwork of Neil done by Tom Newsome. The logo from the album cover, designed by Tom Wilkes, is also exhibited at the top of the piece.
This is the first time Reprise Records financed a large promotional poster to be distributed in one of their artists’ stamped “promo only” albums. Prior to 1972, most record companies, including Reprise, were not that invested in spending extra unnecessary funds on such over-the-top promo materials. Harvest, though not well received initially by critics, matured into a classic and became Neil Young’s most celebrated album of all time.
