Neil Young archive news








Confirmed for release on July 14 through Reprise Records, Neil Young's OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 is a collection of four albums that begins with FREEDOM in 1989, and continues onto RAGGED GLORY (1990), WELD (1991) and ARC (1991).

The OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 is available as a vinyl box set of the original four albums on 9 vinyl LPs and the 4 CD releases now issued on 6 CDs. Like all the reissues in this series, the albums are remastered from the best source available--original analog tape in the case of Ragged Glory.

FREEDOM contains the oft-covered classic "Rockin' in the Free World."

RAGGED GLORY (1990) is expanded for this reissue with 4 rare tracks. “Interstate” and “Don’t Spook The Horse” were both B-sides to singles. “Box Car” and the 12 minute “Born To Run” are both previously unreleased versions. The 4 additional songs have resulted with the album expanded to 3 LPs and 2 CDs.

WELD (1991) is a live album recorded with Crazy Horse after the release of RAGGED GLORY. 

ARC (1991) is the live companion collection to WELD, and at the time generated the kind of musical notoriety that has often marked Young's creations. ARC is a 35-minute outburst of feedback, improvisation, guitar solos and vocal fragments. This marks the album's first release on vinyl.
