    On the Beach (1974). Wonderfully stripped down and crude. A typical Neil Young-contrast coming off of Harvest. Remember A-Camp doing a lovely cover of the title track, But don't know If it can be found online. Standouts: See the sky about to rain, On the beach, Motion Pictures, Ambulance Blues.

    Picked up the Harvest Moon reissue this morning. It's a double vinyl issue, with the tracks split across 3 sides.
    Side 4 is an etching of the album cover.



    Sounds pretty sweet so far!

    Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969). First album with Crazy Horse. And a much rawer and less polished sound than the solo debut. I would argue It's the quentisential Neil Young album, featuring staples (and amazing songs) like Cinnamon Girl, Down by the river and the title track Everybody knows this is nowhere.
    For sure, I would agree this one is essential Neil!

    Neil Young should get the Harvest Moon-guys back together and make a "Christmas Album".

    It really does, doesn't it? It's partly why always I'm happy to buy Neil's reissues, you know they're always going to sound great.

    5000 released, so shouldn't be overly hard, but it's not on any mainstream websites to buy online. I think this will need to be a discogs or ebay purchase for those of us who aren't finding it in a record store. That is my impression after searching around online about it, anyway.

    I thought it was just limited release for RSD and then would be in print a little later down the road.

    if this is limited to 5000 then I need to get this today. Thanks for the heads up.

    Oh, well, don't take my word for it in that context, lol. I haven't read anywhere that there are plans for a wider release later, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. I might just not have landed on that information during my search. I suppose better safe than sorry? But it's certainly possible that there are plans down the road for a big release, just because that happens sometimes.

    Tonight's the Night (1975). Following the death of Crazy Horse member Danny Whitten and roadie Bruce Berry Neil Young recorded this raw and painfully personal record - even including a note saying sorry to the listener for its personal nature. There's pretty much no production to separate Neil from me, and maybe that has a part in why I don't revisit the album that often. It sounds in part like demos in all the crudeness and Neils voice shifting in volume. Even though there are really great songs on it, e.g. World on a string, Borrowed tune and Tired Eyes.

    Zuma (1975). Great album with one of Youngs worst album covers. Cortez the Killer being the most iconic song on the album. Have a weakspot for Stupid girl and Dont cry no tears.

    American Stars 'n Bars (1977). One of the greatest album covers of all time. Hold back the tears, Will to Love and Like a Hurricane are great and Bite the Bullet is fun. Feels more like a collection of songs than an album though.

    Ah ha. See, I didn't even notice that! Yeah, I would take that to mean it will be widely released, so thanks for the info, lol. But indeed, it could be a while.
