This could the reissue of 2019! From the NY Archives: Ragged Glory : Massive Discoveries in the vault! NYA12-14-18 Crazy Horse’s ‘Ragged Glory’ album will be twice the size in its next release. J. Hanlon has found more of the Crazy Horse album from 1990. Listening to these tracks is a real head scratcher. They are equal to anything on the existing record, maybe better. Possibly, the thought at the time was to have a single album and not include the songs from the last half of the unique ‘set oriented’ recording sessions. Those sessions were unique because the band played a set of songs twice a day at Plywood Analog for a couple of weeks, then went back, listened and chose best tracks after the two weeks were up. The Ragged Glory was picked from those tracks. The same tracks were never repeated in a recording set, played only once as set. . . . and the band moved right on to the next song. No repeats. This approach took ‘analysis’ out of the game during the sessions, allowing the Horse to not think; thinking is deadly for the Horse. After the songs were played enough so that the band was sure they must have the takes, the Horse, having a great time, kept playing other songs. . . Five songs, with two versions of one, and one long extended take of another, yielded another 38 minutes of Crazy Horse classics, mostly undiscovered and unheard before. Ragged Glory II, the double album, will be announced as a stand alone LP in vinyl, CD and High resolution digital, probably released in 2019 and possibly delaying release of other announced projects.

Given the releases we’ve seen the past few years.... this old complaint no longer really holds true...
If I knew for certain that it would actually be released I would sell my original right now and keep the change... But I don't, so I won't...
Instant buy but is Neil putting us on? Where's Archives II? I'll bet at this point, Neil is going to put out a few more releases and then when asked about Archives II yet again he'll say that it's already out: it's all the archival releases that he's put out over the last decade.
How is this any different to the announcements of Toast and Alchemy? I'm not arguing that he's releasing consistently - that's quite clear, he's had 3 releases this year so far. But when it comes to Crazy Horse releases, it's all just a big tease and has been for years...
I'd take that chance, personally. Although it's easy for me to say as I only have the CD, which sounds great BTW.
i saw the Toronto show that tour...Sonic Youth opening g. I believe Neil was a bit under the weather and thus a slightly abbreviated setlist, but still a great show.
