The Official Neil Young Thread

[Simple Torture]

I'm skeptical of this vinyl edition of Harvest Moon that's coming out tomorrow. Someone posted the artwork and credits on Discogs, and it specifically says "Source: Mastered from 44/16 digital." All of the Archive/Original Release Series releases were newly mastered from the original analog tapes (and this one clearly doesn't have the "ORS" logo anywhere on it), so this is a drag. I will probably only pick it up if I can get it for under $20.

Wasn't this recorded digitally anyway?

I'd never heard this, but the Wikipedia entry actually says the opposite: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_Moon_(album)

I was digging around and read in the Steve HOFFMAN forum that it was recorded digitally. Who knows though. Still doesn't explain the lack of the ORS stamp.

Hmm. i still may have to pick it up today as ultimately its my preferred listening method but im curious about this potential originally recorded digitally.

[Teeeeeekay]

I just grabbed it. Also picked the live Fleet Foxes 10".

Hopefully I can fit in a listening session today.

"mastered for vinyl" leads me to believe that this is actually true.

It states that on the album.

There's something weird going on with him.

[Strat]

He's dying, folks.

[Teeeeeekay]

He's dying, folks.

Fuck this.

[bune]

No, he's gotta pay for that streaming service so he's purging.

In his first book he talked about selling off properties sooner than later so his family wouldn't have to deal with it.

Seems pretty sensible.

yeah but that was when he was still married.

[Strat]

Welp, I think Neil has definitely lost his mojo.

The Visitor is out.

[Strat]

I jumped the gun. There are some interesting things on here and different.


Its just classic latter day Neil. Ridiculous things.

Are they downloadable?

[Simple Torture]

Are they downloadable?

Nope, they are just sort of listed on post-it notes. I had heard of all of them except like 3-4 of them, so that's exciting.

Are they going to be streaming? Or is this some kind of prick tease? I'm sure some kind soul will "capture" them. I want the Odeon/Budokan "Don't Cry No Tears" and I want it now.
