The thing is, he is telling the truth! Long live KD and his support of CDs!

[Birds in Hell]

Thnx bune & reeder.



I am still flying the flag for CD too, though I admit I recently wavered and thought about dipping my toe back into vinyl, which is nuts seeing as I sold all the vinyl I still owned a year or two ago, but thankfully the urge passed.

I need some kind of portable digital player as I listen to stuff on the train and would go bananas if I couldn't listen to something to block out the office hubbub at work.

Time Fades Away, On a The Beach, Tonight's The Night and Zuma represses are all out individually.

Bullshit since I think I remember them saying TFA was available in the box only.

[super nintendo chalmers]

Yeah, I thought the same. Oh well, I'm just ticked cause I finally tracked down replacement copies of my OGs a few months ago.

Oh, and my Earth LP arrived. Haven't listened yet.

Zuma is fuckin amazing.

[evenslow]

Zuma is fuckin amazing.

Don't Cry No Tears is perfect Neil.

[Teeeeeekay]

Yeah, Zuma is perfect. That 3 album run is tops in my book.

[VinylGuy]

Zuma is fuckin amazing.

Don't Cry No Tears is perfect Neil.

Man, that song....

I wouldn't be peeved if the box I got was in perfect condition--I think I spent $100 on it more than a year ago, so really it's only a bit more than the four represses together. But the fact that most of the jackets weren't even glued means reselling it and replacing it with the individual represses aren't an option. Oh well, they still sound excellent.

I spent 180 at the local.

Neil Young: Archives 2 latest news!

Earlier this year, Neil Young gave Uncut an update about the status of his anticipated Archives 2 project.

“I’m putting a website out, probably just before Christmas,” he told us. “It’ll be my entire archives on a website. You can listen to music, and you’ll see where albums are that are penciled in, not finished. From throughout a 40 or 50-year span, you’ll see unfinished records behind you, in front of you, right now, way in the future.”

Now Young’s manager, Elliot Roberts, has further updated Billboard on this second volume, telling them it is “nearly completed and should surface in 2017”.

“Neil has a whole series of Shakey Films that we’ve done through the years,” Roberts says. “We haven’t really had a chance to put a lot of them out. Either he tours or starts doing an album or moves on to the next one. But we have about six or seven full-length films that will be coming out over the course of the next two years. These are really the first two.”

The contents include Hal Ashby‘s film of Young’s 1982-83 one-man Trans Tour, a Tim Pope chronicle of an early Young concert in England, and 2003’s Greendale.

This is excellent news for Young fans, following on from the announcement that four of Young’s classic albums – the long out of print 1973’s Time Fades Away, 1974’s On The Beach and 1975 Tonight’s The Night and Zuma – are coming on Septemer 6.

Roberts says Young has finally signed off on Time Fades Away, Archives 2 should arrive next year.

“Neil had a lot of things that were important to us – not because they sold well,” Roberts notes. “I think of it as we’re introducing him to a younger audience, a new audience. We know there’s our core audience that’s 50-70 or so. That’s always been the case, and it’s nice to actually have. But it’s like discovering Dylan – you may like EDM, but at some point in your life you’ll be into Dylan and you’ll get it, whether you’re 23, 24, 21 or 26. Discovering Neil or discovering those catalogs, that material. It’s still fun for Neil to create. He doesn’t mind going back or going forward.”

[Simple Torture]

I'll believe it when I see it. And then, of course, I'll weep.

I picked up Earth. Really could have been a wonderful live concert album if not for all the ridiculous overdubs, lyric changes, and random animal noises.

After the Gold Rush is really beautiful though.

Vampire blues is a great version but has been turned into an oil drilling protest song. "Sucking blood from the earth, sell you 20 barrels worth (chevron! chevron!)"

Lol

[Hatfield]

Zuma is fuckin amazing.

Don't Cry No Tears is perfect Neil.

I feel like that song seeped into Ed's Undone. Can anyone else hear it?

I'm really trying to convince my wife that we need to go see him in Telluride. I missed him last summer at Red Rocks and don't want to miss this chance!
