Next installment in Neil Young's 'Archives' series covers 1972-76

Neil Young's Archives Volume II: 1972-1976 will be available November 20. The box set is the second installment in the survey of Young’s body of work, which was kicked off by 2009’s Archives Volume I: 1963-1972.

This new volume focuses on an especially prolific era of Young’s career during which he—often joined by Crazy Horse—released the albums Time Fades Away, On the Beach, Tonight’s the Night, Zuma, and Long May You Run.

Homegrown, just released, is part of this history as well. Archives Volume II: 1972-1976 is available for pre-order exclusively from The Greedy Hand Store here (NYA).

The deluxe edition box set of Archives Volume II: 1972-1976 contains 10 CDs with 131 tracks, including 12 songs that have never been released in any form, and 49 new unreleased versions of Young’s classics—studio and live recordings both solo and with Crazy Horse (Odeon Budokan), The Stray Gators (Tuscaloosa), the Santa Monica Flyers (Roxy: Tonight's the Night Live), Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and The Stills Young Band.

It also includes a 252-page hardbound book with hundreds of previously unseen photographs, additional archival materials, a partial tape database, a detailed description of the music, a fold-out timeline of the period.

In addition, each purchase includes the hi-res 192/24 digital files of all 131 tracks, as well as a free one-year membership to the Neil Young on-line archives. The box also includes a poster. Box sets are strictly limited worldwide to 3,000 units.

Archives Volume II: 1972-1976 will be available digitally on Neil Young Archives and at all major DSPs. NYA is the first totally immersive fan-experience website and remains the only portal for all things Neil Young.

Only at NYA can you find Young’s music in the highest possible digital audio resolution and a seemingly infinite store of archival files. It’s also the home of Young’s virtual daily newspaper, The Times Contrarian, and The Hearse Theater, where you can watch rare footage from Young’s career and stream live performances. NYA is a fittingly sprawling home for Young’s work; few artists—perhaps none—have explored such a vast spectrum of sounds and styles over more than half a century.
