Neil Young – Official Release Series Volume 5
Neil Young – Official Release Series Volume 5
Format: 6 CD – 9 Vinyl LP
Label: Warner
Release: 2023
Release date: July 14, 2023
Neil Young’s ‘OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5’ is a stunning collection of four albums that begins with the exciting renaissance that came with the release of FREEDOM in 1989, and continues on the unequalled exploration of collections RAGGED GLORY (1990), WELD (1991) and ARC (1991). In many ways, it is a musical travelogue of how Young saw the future and opened up creative worlds for the use of sound and originality which had not been used before.
Like all the reissues in this series, the albums are remastered from the best source available–original analog tape in most cases. For the four albums in the series, this is the first time they have been remastered.
In addition on RAGGED GLORY, the 10-song original album is expanded for this re-issue with 4 rare tracks. “Interstate” and “Don’t Spook The Horse” were both B-sides to singles. “Box Car” and the 12 minute “Born To Run” are both previously unreleased versions.
