When Elliott Roberts told me at SXSW years ago that Neil Young’s Archives would catch up with real-time “not in our lifetime” he wasn’t kidding. It definitely didn’t happen in his lifetime, or the lifetime of Larry Johnson who started the project with Neil and Elliott.
‘Neil Young Archives Vol II’ comes 11 years after Box 1and it only goes up to 1976. There is still another 44 years of Young’s vault to include yet.
Box II features many previously and new unreleased versions of Young’s songs from the period 1972-1976. A disappointment with Vol II is that it includes a number of already released archive albums fans have already been asked to purchase.
Young fans would have ‘Roxy: Tonight’s The Night Live’ released in 2018, ‘Tuscaloosa’ released 2019 and ‘Homegrown’ in 2020. (2018’s ‘Songs For Judy’ recorded November 1976 isn’t included in this box. I assume it will be in the next one … one day).
Archives II will be released in November.
