Neil Young / Archives Vol. III box set

Neil Young will releases Vol III of his ongoing Archives series, in September.

This box set has content that spans the period 1976 to 1987 and is a 17CD set in standard form but is also available as a limited edition 17CD + 5 x blu-ray deluxe edition. Both feature 198 tracks on the CDs with 121 previously unreleased versions of live, studio, mixes, or edits, and 15 previously unreleased songs.

The deluxe edition of Vol III comes in the same packaging as the previous deluxe versions (if you aren’t sure of the difference, see the Vol II SDE unboxing comparison video below) which is the massive ‘vertical’ box which comes with a 160-page book and a fold-out archives poster.

The five blu-rays are exclusive to the deluxe edition and contain 11 full length films (over 14 hours of material) and include the previously unreleased Across The Water, Boarding House, Trans and Catalyst. Plus rare films Muddy Track, In A Rusted Out Garage, Solo Trans, Human Highway and A Treasure.

The standard 17CD box set omits the blu-rays and swaps the 160-page book for a a 36-page booklet. It will feature much reduced packaging, consistent with the standard editions of I and II.

The 17 CDs in both sets come in 11 ‘soft-paks’ (presumably the gatefold card sleeves that NY has used for a long time) while the five blu-rays in the deluxe edition come in three ‘soft-paks’.

The deluxe editions are limited to 5,000 units worldwide and they are ONLY shipping from USA and Canada. Anyone outside USA and Canada has to order from the US Greedy Hand shop, which unfortunately means we have to worry about extra import duties on top of the $450 retail price (although you do get free international shipping). If you recall, the 3,000 copies of the deluxe of Vol II sold out in a matter of days.

The standard 17CD version should be widely available, and by way of comparison is currently $240 on Amazon.com.

As well as the two versions of the box set there’s a ‘highlights’ 2LP set called Archives Vol. III Takes. This 16-track compilation features one track from 16 out of the 17 CDs and therefore includes three unreleased songs and 12 previously unreleased versions (there’s nothing on this 2LP set that’s not in the box).

The deluxe edition from Neil’s Greedy Hand shop ships with an exclusive CD version of Takes, however redundant that may seem, and you also get a NYA pin badge and a free hi-res digital audio download code.

The deluxe edition of Archives Vol. III will be available soon on NY’s shop (early access ‘pre-sale’ emails have gone out to some fans) and the standard CD box and vinyl Takes are available as below.

Neil Young’s Archives Vol. III and Takes will be released on 6 September 2024 via Warner Records.
