Neil Young’s ‘Archives Vol. III’ will be available on September 6 and includes recordings that show the unheralded sweep of Young's efforts from the 1976-1987 period of his journey. It is one of the most extensive anthologies in his recorded history.
In addition to the 17CD Box set, a double vinyl LP only set titled ‘Takes’, will also be available on September 6. Takes is a 16 track compilation featuring one track from 16 out of the 17 CD’s in the Archives Vol. III Box Set. This collection will include 3 unreleased songs and 12 previously unreleased versions and will be the only vinyl edition to feature these songs.
The Neil Young Archives series has been something like a living musical museum that can be visited in a personal way, curated by the person who actually created all of the music and films. It is ever-changing as it moves forward through the life of someone who does not stop, continually looking forward as he studies and shares a past that stays alive.
