********************************

Down through the years since the release of After The Gold Rush many words have been written in praise of it. I only wish to add to that great mountain by saying that surely this is one of The Greatest Albums Ever Made! I say that not because I am a huge Neil Young Fan, because I'm not at all, but I say this because the sheer quality of the music on it forces me to say it.

Sit back and listen and maybe you'll come to the same conclusion!

Let The Day Begin...Let The Day Start!
