Further details have emerged about Neil Young’s ‘Archives Volume II’ box set.
The 10-disc box will 131 tracks including 12 never before released Neil Young songs. The collection covers the 1972-1976 period with the bands Crazy Horse (Odeon Budokan), The Stray Gators (Tuscaloosa), the Santa Monica Flyers (Roxy: Tonight’s the Night Live), Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and The Stills Young Band. It also includes a 252-page hardbound book with hundreds of previously unseen photographs, additional archival materials, a partial tape database, a detailed description of the music, a fold-out timeline of the period.
Volume 2 comes 11 years after volume 1. I once asked Neil’s manager Elliot Roberts when the collection would catch up with a current release. Elliot’s answer was “not in our lifetime’. Sadly, that is already true for him. Elliot passed away in 2019.
