Harvest (Rmst)

Product Information

His usual dissonant touches, like the otherworldly guitar in Out On The Weekend, are less spooky in this new context. By contrast, “Alabama” still may come across as an unsubtle retread of “Southern Man,” but it works well as a rave-up.

the last two tracks, the deceptively gentle The Needle and the Damage Done and the hypnotic rocker Words (Between The Lines Of Age), predict Tonight’s The Night, Young’s haunted 1975 classic. I’m very late to the Neil Young party, he’s one of those artists I’ve known about but just never really listened to.The 50th Anniversary Edition will be released on triple-vinyl and triple-CD, both of which features the original album; a disc of three studio outtakes from the original ‘Harvest’ sessions (‘Bad Loneliness’, ‘Journey Through The Past’ and ‘Dance Dance Dance’); and an unreleased live BBC solo performance.

On “Are You Ready for the Country,” Nitzsche’s slide guitar now cuts through with added sharpness and affords the music a more buoyant quality. Anyway, I’ve been listening a lot to Radio Paradise while working from home and he features fairly regularly on there and that has sort of piqued my interest to explore his (large! His fourth solo album remains one of the most beloved in his catalogue and is full of with songs which have become all-time classics. However, it wasn’t quite as impressive as I was expecting, especially compared to others in the series, which in many cases were superb.I'd always thought the album sounded a little lacking in detail and presence, despite most aspects being top notch. On this number one 1972 album, even the singer’s acquired-taste voice comes across smooth and beautiful – the smash Heart of Gold, with steel guitars and Linda Ronstadt’s backup vocals, is by far young’s most commercial-sounding song. Do yourself and your ears a favour, listen to this remaster on a well set up turntable through a decent sound system and I guarantee you'll have every bit of the best audio experiences to be had bar none. I can't believe this fragile jacket that seems like it was printed on a Wheat Thin is still holding up after 51 years.

The first DVD is Harvest Time - a 2-hour, unreleased film shot during the making of Harvest, and includes footage at Neil’s Broken Arrow ranch in Northern California, plus the recording sessions in Nashville and London. Neil Young announces the December 2nd release of a 50th Anniversary Edition of his 1972 album ‘Harvest’. Young’s fourth solo album remains one of the most beloved in his catalog and is dense with songs that have long-permeated radio waves.I’ve listened to Harvest a couple of times on Qobuz and thought it might be a nice one to start my NY collection on vinyl. The film Harvest Time is a previously unseen 2-hour documentary filmed in 1971, documenting the Harvest sessions. My personal opinion of the most recent vinyl reissue of Harvest (Neil Young Archives) was that it was beautifully presented and also very nicely cut and pressed.

Also included in the package is a hardbound book which includes never-before-seen photos along with extensive liner notes by photographer Joel Bernstein and a fold-out poster. Also included are three unreleased tracks from the original Harvest sessions: “Bad Fog of Loneliness,” “Journey Through The Past,” and “Dance Dance Dance. As with all the vinyl releases I’ve heard in Young’s Archive Series, Harvest stands as a model of how reissues should be done. After 20 years, Neil Young finally decided to release the sequel to Harvest, his most commercially successful album.Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.
