With the Neil Young camp as busy as beavers, it’s no surprise that in addition to new albums being released, there are also 50th Anniversaries to account for. And Neil Young is no slump in the archival territories that are his. With a history as rich as Neil Young‘s released music, it’s great to hear that “Harvest” has come to a grand age. Released in 1972, this classic yielded not on an album full of gems but also the well-known hits of “Old Man”, and “Heart Of Gold”.
On December 2nd, Reprise Records and Neil Young will move into glorified territory with the several Boxed reissues of “Harvest“. Inside, the boxes will contain either – depending on your choice of acquisition – 3CDs of music, or 2LPs and a 7″ vinyl press of outtakes. Both will add in two DVDs of filmed works that include a previously unreleased 2-hour documentary filmed in 1971 that covers the making of “Harvest“, and an unreleased 1971 “BBC In Concert” show.
The sets will include three outtakes from the “Harvest” sessions, as well as the original album. A book is included to complete the box that will become a fixture on many Neil Young fans’ shelves, especially those fans of the album itself. The 2LP box will add in a lithograph and a poster, while the 3CD set will contain the poster.
