Neil Young will release a limited edition deluxe box set of his recent ‘A Letter Home’ vinyl album in May.
The box will include the album on vinyl, CD and a DVD with footage from the recording as well as a 7x7inch vinyl version of the album with a bonus single of a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Blowing In The Wind’ backed with an alternate version of Willie Nelson’s Crazy’.
According to Neil’s label, “The album begins with Neil recording a spoken letter to his late mother, informing her of his personal and present state of affairs which sets the tone and atmosphere for the duration of the album. He does this once again at the beginning of Side 2 in a way which could explain why he’s selected these particular songs to record. In essence, this presentation is, as its title implies, A Letter Home from Neil. This is a deeply personal and expressive listening experience which is as real and raw emotionally as it is sonically and yet light of touch in its form and flow”.
The box will feature:
Standard audio LP pressed on 180-gram black vinyl
Audiophile LP pressed on 180-gram black vinyl
Standard audio CD
DVD with footage from the recording
12″ x 12″, 32-page full colour booklet
