Neil Young Archives news

Neil Young announces the release of the fourth installment in his Official Release Series (ORS): a box set that includes his ‘80s records Hawks & Doves, Re•ac•tor, and This Note’s for You, as well as his Eldorado EP, previously released only in Japan and Australia.

Both vinyl and CD box sets will be available for pre-order today and out on April 29. Fans can purchase the ORS Vol 4 CD box set through all retailers; the vinyl box set will be available at indie stores and The Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives (NYA). All Greedy Hand Store purchases of ORS Vol 4 box sets come with free hi-res digital audio downloads from the Xstream Store at NYA.

Hawks & Doves (1980) revisits his folk roots with country-leaning offerings; Re•ac•tor (1981) showcases rock with Crazy Horse; and This Note’s for You (1988) casts Young as a big band leader on blues tuners. The Eldorado EP (1989) features Young backed by The Restless (Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas). It includes two tracks — “Cocaine Eyes” and “Heavy Love”— not available on any other album. Eldorado will launch on most major DSPs upon the release of the box sets. Those who pre-order ORS Vol 4 now will receive an instant download of “Cocaine Eyes.”

The other three albums included in the ORS Vol 4 box sets are currently available digitally at Neil Young Archives and most major DSPs.

Only at NYA can you find Young’s music in the highest possible digital audio resolution alongside 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 see rare footage and stream live shows.
