    TOAST is the best album of the year. Stellar as hell. Love Are you Passionate. And love this too.

    Noise and Flowers I found on youtube was a bit "weirdly" mixed, Neils voice came of as low in the mix and it felt kind of off. Almost like a good audience boot. But spinning it, it sounded great. So must have been me, maybe.

    A 2001 live album would be amazing -- BUT WE ALL AGREE THAT THE STOCKHOLM 2001 SHOW WAS THE GREATEST SHOW HE DID THAT YEAR AND THIS LIVE ALBUM CAN NOT IN ANY WAY BE BETTER THAN THAT SHOW.

    Agreed on the weird mix on Noise and Flowers.

    Neil confirmed in the new letters, ORS5 (Ragged, Weld/Arc Freedom) is out next year.

    That messes up my release timeline theory (everything here being pushed 9ish months out). May also give insight when to expect the Mirrorball reissue for those who want it.

    What’s the point of the 50 year editions….

    I just really really want the Ragged Glory/Smell the Horse expanded LP. Plus Weld of course. That era of Neil is hard to touch.

    To get a few more bucks from nostalgic boomers.

    I'm no boomer but I'll buy a 50yr Harvest if the extra content is worthwhile. An extra track and alt version on After the Gold rush was not worth $100. Lets wait and see what the release contains before pooping on it.

    I think its gonna be a pretty similar set and cost. Maybe more, because it has the DVD.

    I see Goldrush has been lowered in price. retail is now $70 from WB and Amazon has it for $60. Still over priced, but I could see Harvest being in that range with the LP/CD/DVD version.

    of those official bootleg releases. Which one were not multitrack/soundboard recordings? The 1974-one?

    Box set #6 is going to be great. It's a shame in some respects that Harvest Moon was already reissued.

    I was really hoping for a stand a lone Ragged Glory re-issue. I have an original vinyl pressing which is hugely lacking.  They crammed the whole thing on one LP and the grooves are micro-thin, rendering what should be a BIG sounding LP (some of NY &CR's best work) coming across much thinner than should match the material.  If the re-issue is a box set only, it's going to be more stuff than I need and more money than I want to spent.

    The triple LP version of Ragged Glory/Smell The Horse will be a standalone release. 
    The original version (without the bonus tracks) will be included in ORS Box 5

    Yes. Citizen Kane Blues. 

    I think one of the 2 yet to be released ones is too.

    This has dropped to like $16 on Amazon, worth getting? I listened to the stream once and didn't like the SQ (although I understand it)
    9/1/00, 4/28/03, 7/5/03, 7/6/03, 7/12/03, 10/1/04, 9/28/05, 5/27/06, 5/28/06, 6/1/06, 6/27/08, 6/30/08, 8/7/08 (EV), 6/12/09 (EV), 10/27/09, 10/28/09,10/30/09, 10/31/09, 5/21/10, 6/15/11 (EV), 9/2/12, 7/19/13, 10/21/13, 10/22/13, 10/27/13, 4/28/16, 4/29/16, 8/7/16, 11/4/16 (TOTD), 8/18/18, 8/20/18, 9/24/21 (EV&Earthlings), 9/26/21, 9/11/2022, 9/14/2022, 9/7/2024, 9/9/2024, 9/12/2024, 5/16/2025, 5/18/2025

    For $16? yeah. Once I think this goes OOP, I think it will be at the bottom of the repress list, just given the series and given the SQ.

    Also, the sound quality isn't terrible. Its an AUD. and sounds damn good for 1974.
