  • Did the boxsets come with a box to house the albums. Or was it just the albums?

    They come in a box (2 out of the 4 individual jacket inside the box split open at the seams for me though - like the glue they use doesn't work properly).

    Ive had my vinyls in my moms storage since 2003 so I dont know what Neil albums I have and not (and If they have been destroyed during these years) but tempting getting these...

    I couldn't get hold of the volume 1-4 box when it came out so I bought the NY to Harvest reissues individually. Volumes 5-8 and 8.5-12 are in the boxes and it really bugs me!
    I wish I could get hold of an empty 1-4 box to put my records in.

    TBH, I think that so far only the 5-8 box is better than buying individually, just because it's the only one where all 4 albums are truly fucking awesome as a complete bundle. For the rest of them I'd only really ever want to play maybe half of them. I may as well save my money and only get the individual albums that I know I'll spin. Also, I think I find the box an unnecessary burden. It just makes it that much harder to get to the record I want to put on the turntable, lol.

    Yeah I've seen some crazy prices for it too. I've got the ORS records so I don't need to buy them again just for the box, unless I find one at a crazy low price.

    I also haven't got the 1-4 cd box either. I've got the 5-8 and 8.5-12 boxes, and 1-4 is easy to find. But the 1-4 cds are in jewel cases and the others are in slip cases, so the box is a different size to the other ones and that would bug me too!

    You don't ever have to apologize for "First World Problems" in my opinion. that is the stupidest shit i have ever been called on. of course we  are first world. do you think people in Third World countries would even have internet connections. i hate that term so much. yes we have disposable cash, time, etc.

    and this wasn't aimed at you.. i just wanted to say that you don't have to apologize for it. just feeling a little feisty tonight. i wanted to clear that up a while back.

    I agree! That first world problems thing pisses me off - it's so dumb as an accusation (not against you goldrush). And I guess that's another one of my fucking first world problems, lol.

    Oh I agree, it's complete bollocks. If I'm honest I only threw it in there because it's something that's been aimed at me elsewhere in the forum before, so I thought I'd get in first!

    Who really gives a shit about the size of a Neil Young box set, as long as there's Neil Young music inside it, right? :lol:

    It’s really gotten twisted around from what it initially meant. I always took it to mean more like whatever the problem is, it’s really not worth getting they worked up about.

    Great stuff!  I haven't watched this in a while even though I have it on VHS.  I love it that Ben Keith is on some of this.  Sad that he's no longer around.  Yeah, I would dig having this on a good quality DVD.

    Is anyone else like me and only hone in on a certain style of Neil's albums/songs. He's got so much material available but I find myself primarily going back to the same stuff.

    I really dislike the more country-sounding stuff. Albums like Old Ways. Not my thing at all. Plus he put out a few real shit albums in the 80s, and a few more in recent years.

    My favorites are Neil with The Horse, but I'm also a big fan of Tonight's the Night, On the Beach, American Stars 'n Bars, Time Fades Away, Comes a Time, and Trans.

    I saw a great comment on one of the Facebook NY fan pages:

    "Music is one Ocean. Neil swims where he will from day to day. Folk, grunge, rock, country. He goes where the tides take him."

    I'm not a fan of the country songs either, but I love acoustic folkie Neil just as much as I love the Horse, if not a little more. I very rarely listen to the 80s stuff, but there are some really great songs hidden in there. I'd love to hear some of the Geffen records get the 'Hitchhiker' treatment; they'd sound great with just Neil's voice and an acoustic guitar.

    One of my favorite NY albums is Silver & Gold from 2000.

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
