Neil Young Box Set On The Way
Dec 19^th, 2008 at 8:37am

Neil Young box set due in '09

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - More details have been revealed about the first volume of Neil Young's comprehensive career retrospective, which is expected to be released on DVD and Blu-ray discs next year.

A five-minute preview posted on YouTube boasts the 10-disc set, "Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1: 1963-1972," is "the most ambitious artist collection ever produced."

It has 128 tracks, including 43 unreleased recordings.

Because the package is being released on DVD and Blu-ray, the music can be packaged with thousands of images of photos, lyric sheets, letters and memorabilia.

The set also includes hours of video in high definition and a 236-page hardcover book.

The release of the box set has already been delayed but it's tentatively scheduled to go on sale Feb. 24 for more than US$300.

Young plans to release more box sets in the future chronicling the rest of his career.

He has also released a number of concert recordings recently - including "Live at Massey Hall 1971" and "Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House 1968" - with more to follow.

Young said earlier this year that he waited for new technology to come along before compiling all his archived matter, because he didn't think CDs would do the project justice.

The Blu-ray package can also be updated through the Internet when new material becomes available.

"Previous technology required unacceptable quality compromises," Young said in May in a statement.

"I am glad we waited and got it right."

43 isnt a hell of a lot for something with a price tag of over $300, though.

The point of the series is to provide a comprehensive, chronological autobiography. So it was always going to be a massive body of work. Especially as it was first mooted as far back as 1987 or so. He's basically waited for the technology to be there to do it justice.

Agree with you that the price is going to be offputting. There'll be some serious piracy surrounding this release.

Neil Young Debuts Hilarious Clip for New “Fork in the Road”

1/13/09, 12:43 pm EST

Neil Young was frantically writing songs about the economic meltdown and his LincVolt project during his 2008 world tour, playing as many as ten per show by the time the trek wrapped last month (click here to check out a live report). Just a few days ago he posted another new one on YouTube and his website with virtually no fanfare. Wearing a blue “Tube Amp Repair” t-shirt and eating an apple (with headphones plugged into it), Young sings about the economic collapse against a basic blues beat. “I’m a big rock star,” Donald Trump’s favorite rocker sings in the hysterical single camera video. “My sales have tanked, but I still got you. Download this, it sounds like shit.”

Near the end he plays some mean air guitar while a flat screen TV is repossessed in the background. A spokesman for Young confirms the song is the title track to a forthcoming studio album. What does that mean for the perpetually delayed Archives box set that was due out in March, and the Crazy Horse album Toast? “It seem logical in light of the timeliness of the subject matter that it will preempt Archives and Toast for the time being,” the spokesperson says. “But that hasn’t been confirmed yet.” With Neil Young, very few things ever are.
