On The Beach - Young, Neil - LP - Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

September 27, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) – A 50th anniversary for a seminal album is an opportunity to
reflect and reevaluate. A half-century on, and it can take on a new life and a new meaning, especially
when that album is Neil Young's ON THE BEACH. In the first half of the 1970’s as Young was recording
collections of songs that would each take on an aura of their own, ON THE BEACH became its own
achievement. It followed the release of 1972's HARVEST, which reached Number 1 on the Billboard
sales chart. This new anniversary limited edition of ON THE BEACH will be pressed on clear vinyl, with
"50" added to the front cover to mark the passage of time, and is set for release on November 8th, via
Reprise Records. The songs range from "See The Sky About To Rain" to "Ambulance Blues," and
explore the evolving counterculture in the 1970s in ways which had not been done. These were songs
that he took into a new realm of where he and the country were going, and where that would take them.

ON THE BEACH became a very special moment in the musical history of Neil Young. It was his fifth
studio album, and was recorded with a stellar range of musicians, including Crazy Horse's rhythm
section Billy Talbot (bass) and Ralph Molina (drums), along with other key players Ben Keith, Tim
Drummond, Levon Helm (The Band), Rick Danko (The Band), Rusty Kershaw, David Crosby,
Graham Nash and George Whitsell (The Rockets). Sessions were held at Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch
in Northern California and Sunset Sound in Hollywood, and there was a definite feeling of expanding
elements of musical styles being added to the playbook. This was Young at his most adventurous, and
pointed to several new musical directions for him, yet to be defined.
