Young, Neil - American Stars 'N' Bars - White Hot Stamper (With Issues)*NOTE: Track 1 ("Star of Bethlehem") and track 2 ("Will to Love") on side 2 play Mint Minus Minus to EX++. *NOTE: Side 2 of this record was not noisy enough to rate our M to EX++ grade, but it's not quite up to our standards for Mint Minus Minus either. This album consists of tracks recorded over the course of three years so naturally there is some variation between songs, particularly on side two. "Star Of Bethlehem," one of the most underrated Neil
