Neil Young Neil Young Archives: Volume 1 1963-1972 On 10 x Blu-Ray Disc Box Set

Unprecedented First Volume in the Series of New Box Sets from the Neil Young Archives on Blu-ray Disc!

Guaranteed to Change the Way You Experience Music!

Call it groundbreaking, amazing, unprecedented, exciting, absorbing, unparalleled, life-altering. Yes, it turns out that Neil Young truly waited for technology to catch up to him. A visionary release, the jaw-dropping first volume of the iconic artist’s decades-in-the-making Archives series on Blu-ray Disc will literally change the way you experience music and connect with artists.

If you are any kind of Neil Young fan, or simply a connoisseur of great audio quality and state-of-the-art technology, you will want this collection. We guarantee that you have never seen or heard anything like Archives on Blu-ray Disc, which sets the bar for how bands will present their material. Famous for being a stickler for precision and the best possible quality, Young has accepted nothing less than the absolute highest standard.

The 10-disc Blu-ray set includes 128 tracks (48 of which are previously unreleased), the debut of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member’s 1973 film Journey Through the Past, a specially designed box, and a  leather-bound book constructed according to Young’s specifications. But that’s just the beginning. The Blu-ray format offers amenities and elements that have never appeared on any music release, including cutting-edge menus, pristine picture quality, download abilities, and state-of-the-art sound that must be seen and heard to be believed.

Stunning features include:

·   The ability to engage BD Live, an option that allows users to download to their hard-drives at no charge newly posted material added by the artist. This alone is why Blu-ray should be your format of choice: Young plans to add more content as more gems are uncovered, with content taking the form of everything from 45rpm singles to concerts. The DVD set does not have this feature, meaning that no future content will be accessible. 

·   1920x1080 picture resolution, which provides lifelike visual images and three-dimensional views of paraphernalia such as original lyric sheets, article clips, and live footage. 

·    A fully interactive onscreen menu that includes a detailed timeline, biographies, set-up options, and more. Navigation has never been easier or more inventive. 

·    Dozens of hidden “Easter eggs” and bonus audio and visual content, including a humorous and riveting sequence of Young wandering into a record store in New York’s Greenwich Village and seizing a bootleg record from the owner. 

·    A separate folder for each song that opens up to reveal subfolders containing never-before-seen photos, rare memorabilia, concert reviews, original lyric sheets, newspaper and magazine articles, and historical advertisements.  

·    Onscreen lyrics for every song.  

·    A custom-made book that lists detailed song descriptions, track lists, recording dates, and additional trivia. 

·    A box within a box that houses all of the contents, and also includes a special surprise or two. Every disc is contained within its own environmentally friendly sleeve, while a giant poster unfolds and reveals the wealth of material at your disposal.

Then, of course, there’s the music. Beginning with Young’s days with the Squires, his high-school band in Winnipeg, and continuing through 1972’s classic Harvest, 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 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.

If there’s ever been a reason to invest in Blu-ray, this is it. Don’t say we didn’t tell you. Order now and start planning on spending weeks immersed in the distinctive world of Neil Young a world that is bound to grow every time Young uploads more content to you to enjoy.
