Neil Young Archives: Volume 1 1963-1972 - After a Long, Long Wait... Neil's Incredible First Box Set Finally Arrives!

Covers Everything from His First Singles to 1972's Harvest

Believe the hype. The jaw-dropping first volume of the iconic artist’s decades-in-the-making Archives series is worth the wait. If you are any kind of Neil Young fan, you will want this.

Beginning with Young’s days with the Squires, his high-school band in Winnipeg, and continuing through 1972’s classic Harvest, Neil Young Archives Volume I is nothing short of the ultimate treasure trove. This is the ultimate trip through Young’s time not only as a burgeoning solo act but also with Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and early Crazy Horse.

Countless standards such as “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing,” “Mr. Soul,” “The Loner,” “The Old Laughing Lady,” “Down by the River,”and too many more to list abet discoveries such as “The Sultan,” “One More Sign,” and “I Wonder.” Young has also included alternate versions of classics such as “Sugar Mountain” to give listeners deeper perspective on their formation. A live 1969 concert from The Riverboat Coffeehouse joins two other archival performance discs, Live at the Fillmore East 1970 and Live at Massey Hall 1971, in completing a circle that encompasses studio, rehearsal, and concert documents. 116 tracks, all in HDCD sound, plus an accompanying booklet.

Order now and start planning on spending weeks immersed in the distinctive world of Neil Young, a world that is bound to grow as Young releases additional volumes in the future.
