Description

In Neil Young’s extensive career, this period of music came at a definite turning point. The 1990s were almost ready to start, and Young had recently returned to his long-time home at Reprise Records. It definitely appeared to be a joyous and jubilant moment for the man who had recently cele
ated the 21-year anniversary of a solo career that had never stopped progressing. The first album in VOLUME 5 is aptly named FREEDOM, and includes the song “”Rockin’ in the Free World.”” RAGGED GLORY (1990) was a non-stop cele
ation for the music Neil Young &amp Crazy Horse are still creating at full force, and was recorded at Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California. The 10 song original album is expanded for this re-issue with 4 rare tracks. Interstate and Dont Spook The Horse were both b-sides to singles. Box Car and the 12 minute Born To Run are both previously unreleased versions. The 4 additional songs have resulted with the album expanded to 3 LPs and 2 CDs.WELD (1991) is one of the most ground
eaking albums of Neil Young’s history. It’s a live album recorded with Crazy Horse after the release of RAGGED GLORY. It was from a wildly creative period of the band’s history, and as Neil Young has often done, gave notice that he was a rock &amp roll originator who could never be second-guessed. ARC (1991) is the live companion collection to WELD, and at the time generated the kind of musical notoriety that has often marked Young’s creations. ARC is a 35-minute outburst of feedback, improvisation, guitar solos and vocal fragments. This marks the album’s first release on vinyl. The vinyl and CD box sets are numbered, and the LPs are pressed on 180-gram vinyl. The vinyl box for the four albums is in a telescoping box, and the CDs are in a slipcase.All Greedy Hand Store purchases come with free hi-res digital audio downloads from the Xstream Store at NYA.FreedomRockin’ In The Free World (live acoustic)Crime in the City (Sixty to Zero Part 1)Don’t CryHangin’ On A LimbEldoradoThe Ways of LoveSomedayOn BroadwayWrecking BallNo MoreToo Far GoneRockin’ In The Free World (electric)WeldHey Hey, My My (Into the Black)Crime in the CityBlowin’ In The WindWelfare MothersLove To BurnCinnamon GirlMansion On The HillFuckin’ UpCortez the KillerPowderfingerLove and Only LoveRockin’ In The Free WorldLike A HurricameFarmer JohnTonight’s The NightRoll Another Number (For the Road)ArcArcRagged GloryCountry HomeWhite LineFuckin’ UpOver and OverLove To BurnFarmer JohnMansion On The HillDays That Used To BeLove And Only LoveMother EarthInterstateDon’t Spook The HorseBox CarBorn To Run
