Neil Young – Archives Volume II: 1972–1976 (20th Nov 2020)*

Honestly, the Long May You Run sessions may have been worth it solely for this smokin' take of "Separate Ways." Holy crap does this absolutely kill.

 

Odeon Budakon is an incredible album. Crazy Horse sound so tight. That Cortez phewwww. Smokin

 

Downloading now. I accidentally hit "cancel" on the first couple of songs that finished downloading so I might have an incomplete download. I hope I can re-download after it's all done.

 

I ordered the 2nd batch of the big box and I just got the Archive subscription code along with the link to download the complete box. I wasn't expecting to be able to download the files until March so this is a nice surprise. I'm downloading now in case they disappear...

 

agree, and feel the same about Vol. 1. The three Topanga discs in particular are a great listen, and I see why Neil curated them the way he did.

 

Well, that's an album cover...

 

Also the LMYR version of "Traces" is pretty awesome, too. How these two tracks got cut over some of the tracks that actually made the cut is beyond me.

 

Here’s some pictures I just took:

 

I have to quit at Dume and pick up the rest tomorrow.

This all just exceeds expectations for me. I thought The Old Homestead disc was A+ but then I listened to Dume. My goodness, aside from all the great Zuma album tracks, Ride My Llama, Kansas, Hawaii, No Seems to Know and Pocahontas are mind blowing. They all would have been favorite songs had they come out.

Pocahontas, even missing V2 is nearly overwhelming in its goodness, with the wall of sound guitars and harmonies. I mean, where has this been?

Anyhow, there is so much to unpack. Got give it a rest I think before hitting 9 and 10.

In a time of some darkness, this is really uplifting in a very personal way for this old Neil Young fan.

 

Thanks. Well now we know why no stash box...it has CDs in there instead. Appreciate the pics. Mine is due Wednesday.

 

thats awesome. sadly it looks like those of us getting the retail version won't be able to line it up with our first cd box

 

Update: I'm happy to report that the Bluesound Node 2i is working perfectly with NYA!

 

The Martin is worthy of its own cover. Stills obviously knew that.

 

the box presentation is amazing.

 

Yep your stuff is still available in My Downloads, code only needed once. I had to redo a few tracks and I have them all playing this evening.

 

Absolutely blown away by the quality of this box. Every single previously unreleased outtake could have been on an album and in many cases would have been a highlight.

The quality of the Homegrown-era tracks really makes me question the final track listing

 

Downloads stopped less than halfway through the box. What should I do?

 

Does Homegrown have a gatefold image in this version? It definitely looks thick enough to have one.

 

Download the tracks one at a time. I tried to download them all at once, as well, and it ended up crashing Chrome on my computer.

 

How? It says I've redeemed my code

 

Refresh the page, go back to "My Downloads," select Archives Vol. II, and then just go down the line and click the "download" button next to each track.

 

Boy, it felt really theraputic deleting the bootleg versions of the Vol. II songs from my computer.

 

Thank you. It's working.

 

thanks. working.

 

Yep, I had a few tracks that did not download and it looks like you can download them again and again, wow cant wait to give them a listen!!
