for all the fetishization of the "vinyl experience" present in the interactive elements here, i'm surprised there isn't an actual vinyl version of this.

hmm, those individually priced things seem way overpriced ... why are the CD version $22.95? also, did this thing just get bumped back a week? Amazon is telling me "Shipping estimate for these items: June 8, 2009" ... haha, it's totally not coming out.

Unless I see the shipping order and put my finger where the cds go, and put my hand into its case, I will not believe it.

Not sure if Time Fades Away has its own thread:

http://www.uncut.co.uk/neil-youngs-time-fades-away-rumoured-for-record-store-day-release-news

The two songs I gravitate towards now are "Love in Mind" and (especially) "Journey Through the Past"; in high school, it was the title track and "Don't Be Denied."
