As much as I'm not a fan of pre-ordering, by the time it shows up I will have forgotten I ordered it and it will be a great surprise. Failing memory in old age does have it's good points at times!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
"Loose Change". The long mantra-like hammering on basically just the one chord starting at 5:48 is pure meditation for me. I get lost in this song every time. One of my very favorites. Play it on a good stereo, crank it up, close your eyes. Sweet dreams!
I love Broken Arrow. In fact, it's playing right now It has 2 of my favourite 90's Neil songs (Music Arcade and interstate)
I've been listening to 90's Neil a lot recently. Ragged Glory / Harvest Moon / Unplugged / Sleeps With Angels / Mirror Ball / Dead Man / Broken Arrow is such a fantastic run of records, and that's without including Weld or Freedom (late 89)

If Hitchhiker is Special Release Series #5, does that mean 1-4 are the Homegrown, Chrome Dreams, Oceanside/Countryside, and Odeon-Budokan albums that were teased in 2010? Not sure if that fits chronologically, or are if there other pre-Hitchhiker albums that we don't know about yet...
Odeon-Budokan would probably be a Performace Series disc as it's live, so maybe the Briggs edition of Tonight's The Night will finally get a release.
Speculating about Neil's archives is so much fun!

Another interesting thought about Hitchhiker... If it had been released in 1976, how would the other records that also feature these songs have looked, specifically Rust Never Sleeps? You could say that removing one song from Comes a Time or American Stars n Bars wouldn't make much difference, but there are 3 RNS songs on Hitchhiker. I imagine there'd be a good chance that RNS wouldn't have been released at all, and the songs split across other records, which would have deprived us of one of Neil's greatest records (and possibly Live Rust as well, depending on where the songs ended up)

Received my Hitchhiker vinyl but haven't gotten to spin it yet though, looking forward to that. I saw a few reports that people were getting warped vinyl. I did throw mine on and spin quickly and it has a little "wave" on one side when spinning but I wouldn't call it warped by any stretch.

I figure it's not truly warped until it affects play, but some people do get bent out of shape if their record is even slightly also bent out of shape, haha. They don't like to see that cartridge bob during play I guess. I've found that a "warp" that doesn't affect play will flatten out just by putting something heavy on it for a couple days and then storing it tightly between your other albums on the shelf.

Amazon.com is only temporarily sold out - they'll have more soon enough. And if you wait a couple months these will likely be $10 cheaper.
