Fans have been waiting a long time to peek into the deepest corners of Neil Young’s catalog, but before the year is out, they’ll have their peek.
As long ago as the 1980s, the Canadian folk-rocker has spoken of his long-term goal to release a series of archival box sets shedding light on rare and unreleased songs and performances from all eras of his career. Since then, fans have just had to wait patiently for news of its release.
Until now.
The 62-year-old Young has finally announced plans to release the long-awaited and oft-delayed Volume 1 of the Archives on November 3rd. The set will be issued on DVD, but another version will also be available on Blu-Ray. Perhaps that’s why he waited so long.
The first volume of the Archives covers the years 1963 to 1972 and will feature original artwork from the artist. One of the highly anticipated elements of the set will be the Special Edition Series, consisting of his “lost” recordings; Young is notorious for recording albums but scrapping them before fans are able to hear the finished result.
