Rust Never Sleeps

Released 1979Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Classic

A two-sided acoustic-then-electric peak of restless energy. Bold and acclaimed. A high point. Released in 1979, it's a key entry in Neil Young's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
