The start of a musician’s career is not only an intriguing collection of what happened, but maybe even more important is a gaze into what their future might hold. With musical artist Neil Young, Archives Vol. I: 1963-1972 offers the sounds of his first decade, but just as importantly holds a light on the future of what’s to come. Young’s world of sound and spirit remains a never-ending adventure. It starts here.
Neil Young Archives Vol. I: 1963-1972 is the first in a series of archival box sets encompassing Young’s entire career. Vol. I was originally released on June 2, 2009, in three formats: A 10-disc deluxe edition in either Blu-ray or DVD and an 8-disc CD box.
Out of print for over a decade, the 8-CD box set is now being re-issued in its original format – housed in the “Garypak”, a unique package designed by Young’s long-time art director, the late Gary Burden. Each CD has its own custom sleeve. Neil Young Archives Vol. I: 1963-1972 will be available from Young’s Greedy Hand online store, all retail outlets and on most DSP’s. Hi-Res digital audio is available at Xstream download store through Neil Young Archives. All Greedy Hand Store purchases come with free hi-res digital audio downloads from the Xstream Store © at NYA.
At the time of release in 2009, 13 of the songs had never been released before. A further 34 tracks were previously unreleased live or alternate versions. The repertoire covers the first decade of Neil Young’s career, including material from the Squires, Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and his early solo albums.
The box set comes with a 24-page booklet and a large fold-out Archives poster.
