Neil Young / Archives Vol. II now available to pre-order

By Paul Sinclair

10CD box set limited to 3000 units and will ship in November

Neil Young‘s long awaited Archives Vol. II box set was made available to pre-order late in the day, yesterday.

Archives Volume II: 1972-1976, to give it its full title, contains 10 CDs with 131 tracks, including 12 songs that have never been released in any form, and 49 new unreleased versions of Young’s classics—studio and live recordings, both solo and with 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.

Although this is a CD box set (there is no other format available), the packaging looks consistent with the DVD and blu-ray boxes offered for volume one. 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. See the video below.

The box is limited to 3,000 units worldwide, which isn’t very many and it’s only available via Neil Young’s ‘The Greedy Hand’ store.

Update: The deluxe box sold out but is now available again “with subtle art differences” and those who got the first limited one, “will have a letter of authenticity sent to them”.

Also a ‘retail’ edition which a 20-page booklet and a smaller box is available on Amazon in the US for almost $100 less. This comes out in March next year.

The first deluxe edition of Archives Volume II: 1972-1976 will be released on 20 November 2020. The second deluxe edition and the retail edition are released on 5 March 2021.
