    I get skipping the Geffen years, but hopefully he can secure some type of re-release in the ORS.

    Also, kinda weird that he didn't negotiate owning the masters. Maybe thats not something people cared about in 1982.

    Goldrush 50th set is coming out. CD in December/Vinyl in march.

    Vinyl set is $100. CD is $15


    As of now (no details are out yet) the vinyl seems to be the album and a 7". yikes.

    Basically $100 for a 7” single with 2 versions of Wonderin’ (and one of the versions was already in the Archives I box) and a lithograph





    Maybe this is Reprise’s way of making the $250 Archives II box look like a bargain.

     Yeah, seems a bit steep for an lp and 7 inch only. The lp by itself will probably hit retail at a much lower price at some point.

    I just bought, what is probably the same Chris Bellman cut for $28 last week.

    I generally don't get down on the cost of vinyl in 2020 (things are more expensive, there isn't a huge quantity of records manufactured to spread out the costs of making a record). But this is INSANELY unreasonable for the content.  Its essentially $70 for a 7" and a Litho (probably a record flat) with different artwork.

    I noticed this blurb mentioned Gary Burden. I dated his son Jesse briefly in the early 2000s. He got us VIP backstage passes to CSNY at the Garden. Never got to meet Neil. But Jesse told me about how Neil Young used to read him bedtime stories when he was a kid. He was great friends with his dad.

    I'm shocked no one has mentioned the addition of the #50 to the cover. That should add a minimum of $50 to value. You can find an OG pressing at almost any record store for $15-$25 or just get the remaster for $23. I was excited when I got the email but quickly passed on this. Definitely not worth it! I'll keep spinning my 1970 pressing at that price. Save that $100 for a rare NY title.

    yeah, I'd rather use the $100 to buy Broken Arrow.

    Where did thee years go?  I remember when you could buy After the Gold Rush new for $3.99, maybe less if it was on sale.  I should have bought a stack of them and kept them in a cool, dark, dry place for 50 years.

    Pure shit. 

    Curious on how the cover looks with the metallic effect.

    But comes off like "SPECIAL COLORED VINYL EDITION" BS to me.

    EDIT: And now I saw that it says "50" on the front cover. Yuck.

    100 dollars for a pressing you can get for like 25 and it says 50 on the cover. Pass. Rerelease mirrorball and put out the live album and any other mirror all outtakes that exist please.

    It's 180g though. The other standalone reissues are not.

    Jump on that Third box first, its OOP and they are harder to find in the wild.

    Hmm. Maybe. But not a fan of boxes... 

    Will see, as Ive stated before... the older pressings I have sound pretty good... But would be nice to collect something, and why not Neil reissues...
