The Dume disc from Archives 2 might be the best single disc Neil Young ever. Some of the versions are inferior to the more well-known versions, but it hangs together beautifully.

Have the various versions of Down by the River ever been polled on here? Went on a bit of an odyssey recently and decided I'd go for the Ken Boothe version first, followed by Low/Dirty Three, Buddy Miles and the Undisputed Truth.

Somewhere, I've got this as dub and maybe other, think it is or was on at least one streamer, but might get CD, pleased that it will exist (unless he changes his mind):

Time Fades Away is officially available as a stand-alone CD for the first time anywhere in the world.Time Fades Away is a live album from Neil Young with The Stray Gators, recorded during a US tour in early 1973 supporting the highly successful Harvest album. When the album was released on vinyl on October 15, 1973, all the songs on Time Fades Away were previously unreleased. Although praised by critics and fans, the album would go out of print for many years, and it was only re-issued on vinyl and released for the first time on CD in August 2017 as part of the Official Release Series Discs 5-8 box set.All Greedy Hand Store purchases of Time Fades Away come with free hi-res digital audio downloads from the Xstream Store © at NYA.ORDER NOWTracks:1.

It's on Neil-approved streamers. It's nice that they're getting back out again on disc, as that box is OOP & $$$$ now. I wonder about the packaging, as the box version was in a weird wide paper sleeve with a replica insert that might be hard to do as a stand-alone.

I also wonder if they'll bust out the other remasters from those boxes, as they were all exclusives (even the titles reissued in 2003 were redone).

I have a copy of the recalled HDCD remaster from the '90s somewhere, but will still get this. I imagine the mastering's better this time around.

Not sure this will show (it's from discord), but it recounts how the phrase "Rust Never Sleeps" came to Neil.

I've undoubtedly posted this elsewhere, but "Down by the River" was an actual (minor) hit single up here in '71.

Always liked it too. I don't know if that's what he means by "North Country Funk," but he gets at something in the song that's a little different from Neil's original.

Young made a cameo on the Broken Record podcast a couple weeks ago. Rick Rubin was interviewing Jack White, and Young wandered in — maybe World Record is what he was doing at Shangra La.

if you found things to like on colorado and barn, you'll find things to like on World Record — not a late-period masterpiece by any stretch, but it's good! nice overall vibe, good backing vocals, pretty mellow for the most part.

love earth is pretty charming, obviously slight but melodically solid. it's interesting to hear him use crazy horse to do music that would have been more of a stray gators thing years ago.

yeah, and having Nils in Crazy Horse really does change things.
the 15-minute jam "Chevrolet" has some great moments, kind of a more refined version of "Drifting Back" haha ...

"It was very unprofessional - at least to those who had seen the GUESS WHO perform last month, with their closely-knit, well-rehearsed act."
"They had hoped to hear Neil sing numbers from his Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young days."

(xposts) Ages ago, when searching for stuff was a fun challenge, "Sea of Madness" was a phantom Neil song for me. I saw it once in the Big Sur film--and I can't remember how I saw that--then spent years wondering if I was remembering correctly.

This would have been early '80s, when I'd seen the Woodstock film but only knew whatever made it onscreen. (Never did buy the soundtrack.)
― clemenza, Sunday, 9 October 2022 22:24 (one year ago) link
It's a weird inclusion. They didn't play it at Woodstock; the recording itself was from a Fillmore East show a month later, and was remixed to sound like was recorded outside.
