Neil Young's Archives, Vol. 1 Is Crazy Comprehensive

thumbnail icon: Neil Young's Archives, Vol. 1 Is Crazy Comprehensive

Not only that, but the 10-disc retrospective is "The Most Ambitious Artist Collection Ever Produced." The first volume covers the first 10 years (1963-1972) of Shakey's career. If you don't believe the hype, watch this promotional video. It makes pretty odd (and repeated) use of Richard Nixon, then goes to great, hyperbolic lengths to illustrate exactly what you'll get if you lay down the big bucks for this thing -- basically everything minus Young's auto bailout plan.

Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1: 1963-1972 is 2/24 out via Reprise.

Uncut Magazine had a blurb that this was pushed back to late spring of 2009. They stated to expect it in May or June, due to technical difficulties.

One of THE best youtube clips is CSNY doing "Down by the River" on a TV show. Now that's stirring music on the television for ya.

I'll believe it when it happens, this thing has been put back more times than Chinese Democracy. And isn't it only coming out on DVD and Blu-ray now or something crazy like that?

Sweet Jesus, is that Papyrus font in the title cards? I may have to boycott this whole deal just because the designer offended my sensibilities.

Holy moly. I'll go into the deep abysses of credit card debt for the rest of my life for this...

the cost doesn't include the vacation days you'll have to take/sick days you'll have to fake
