NEIL YOUNG ARCHIVES BOX: IT'S REALLY HAPPENING

if anyone can do it, it's gotta be neil

That “powderfinger” can exist on an SD card is something that I’m sure blows Neil’s mind as he tokes

don't tell him that stands for Secure Digital

it's creepy how perfectly I can hear that Post-It Note song in my head.

maybe the solution is Neil recording himself talking about what these albums sound like. The real heads will get it.

would listen

I've accepted that being a Neil Young fan means constant disappointment punctuated by occasional elation, but the fact that Homegrown still hasn't been released frustrates me more than just about anything in the world

possible tracklisting:

Side A
1) Separate Ways (unreleased)
2) Try (unreleased)
3) Mexico (unreleased)
4) Love Is a Rose
5) Homegrown
6) Florida (unreleased)
7) Kansas (unreleased)

Side B
1) We Don't Smoke It No More (unreleased)
2) White Line
3) Vacancy (unreleased)
4) Little Wing
5) Star of Bethlehem.

ooooh this is the real shit

oh and hey here's a pdf of this homegrown essay I wrote (kind of an expanded directors cut of a section from an uncut feature i wrote a few years ago) https://we.tl/t-olOP9wZZ8A

should say that both "white line" and "homegrown" should be unheard/unreleased versions of those songs, too. Not positive about Star of Bethlehem of Little Wing.

thanks for that PDF

was just going to ask if Star was from Stars n Bars

I like how road map-y that tracklisting is, all those songs named after places or car travel stuff.

He went back to the seventies to press the vinyl? shiiiit Neil!

Love is a Rose is a real clunker

XP These are actually OG pressings he found behind a neglected Buick in one of his lesser car barns.

Sure Neil, sure you will.

Where's Delaware? I heard that's for the real heads.

I guess this post is what finally convinced him to pull the trigger on Homegrown :) Still bracing myself for a cancellation or delayed release tho...

or an announcement about it being PONO/NYA exclusive or whatever. maybe this is the overarching strategy - make it so the $39.99 LP release seems like a great, accessible deal

yeah tbh my first thought was "what infuriating way are they going to release this, CDROM or reel-to-reel or realaudio stream or what"

i'll be a v happy camper if i can just go into a record store and buy it on vinyl (...as it was meant to be... made in the mid-nineteen seventies!)

The ultimate dick move would be to make it a Pono exclusive, since Pono no longer exists.

(Not ruling this out.)

not to let the facts get in the way of everyone's bitching but the last spate of Archives releases have all been about $22 on vinyl including Songs for Just, the Roxy ($18 right now on Amazon) and Hitchhiker which is the most directly comparable to Homegrown

yeah if it's a single LP it probably won't be more than $20.

hey, what great news!

also i missed the bus on the roxy and tuscaloosa sets — worth it?

(some background: i liked the cellar door, fillmore east, and massey hall sets alright but did not get much out of them past the first few listens)

Roxy (imo) much more essential than Tuscaloosa

Sorry to bitch! And that’s good news

neil apparently is going to ask archives subscribers to vote on what they want released out of these things (some new additions)

innarestin'

it's by one of the promise of the real guys. would probably be more exciting if it had been made in the early 80s?
