Neil Young Launches Online Archives (1st December 2017)

Listening to the Stern interview and you gotta love how much of a sci-fi geek Neil is sometimes. Stern is talking about Daryl and Splash, but Neil immediately pivots to Blade Runner.

 

Anyone else miss the reclusive Neil? Mystery has it’s merits.

 

Neil saying “yellow people” on Stern certainly makes me miss reclusive Neil…

 

Yikes. That’s not the preferred nomenclature, Neil.

 

He said that? What was the context…please say it was about fans that do Big Bird cosplay!

 

It was something about climate effecting everyone "yellow people, black people, white people."

 

one interesting tidbit in the latest letters to the editor:

- crazy horse early daze is coming out in 2023
- there will be more harvest outtakes available on NYA

 

Have been looking forward to Early Daze for years, ever since it was mentioned first. Hopefully 2023. .

 

I second that. It was my #1 choice in the NYA poll, a few years back.

 

Of course those outtakes should have been on the EP in Harvest50.

 

Yeah! On a blu ray!!

 

The 2023 Wish List:

1 - ARCHIVES, VOL. III.
2 - EARLY DAZE (69).
3 - CHROME DREAMS (I) as standalone, 75/77.
4 - RAGGED GLORY II, 90.
5 - HOMEFIRES, 74/75–still some goodies buried in The Vault that deserve the light of day.

that would be a great 2023; along with the Ducks bootleg and, IMO, Mirror Ball live.

 

and the hamilton 1973 bootleg that was recently found.

 

+Alchemy

 

and pearl jam / mirrorball live.

 

That would be a fantastic 2023...
Everything else is just Cherries... (on the cake...)

 

Definitely Alchemy!

 

So it looks like I agree with the consensus: ANYTHING electric is cause for celebration.

Or maybe Neil will delay all these to release nothing but acoustic 1971 live recordings in 2023.

 

I really want Late 1976 through the 80s. Let the fun begin!

 

Get your credit cards ready kids. My guess is 2023 will be more post to wire archive releases from Neil. He could release any one of 10 possible titles yet there’s probably quite a few more that we haven’t even heard of that will see the light of day. Being a Neil Young can be expensive but it’s also well worth it.

 

We’re not greedy. All we want is nine or ten major archival and reissue releases plus a giant archive box set in the next 12 calendar months, and if Neil happens to record a new album or two, we’ll, that’s okay too.

 

In a recent interview Neil mentions Chrome Dreams.

 

I'd certainly like to have a nicely pressed standalone Chrome Dreams!

 

Could we just have the many-times delayed Rainbow 1973 first please??
