Neil Young
CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
LP: Greedy Hand Store
A new box set brings together three of Neil Young's '80s albums, along with a rare EP making its widest release yet. Official Release Series Volume 4 runs the gamut of Young's eclectic output in the '80s - likely because it only covers his releases on his longtime home base of Reprise Records. (From 1982 to 1987, Young signed instead to Geffen Records.) The '80s were a time of transition and experimentation for Young - much of it done on Geffen, though sparks of that restless spirit are present on this set. This volume jumps from 1980's Hawks and Doves and 1981's Re·ac·tor (the latter with Crazy Horse) to 1988's This Note's for You with The Bluenotes and the 1989 EP Eldorado with The Restless. The box will be available on CD at general retail and on vinyl through indie retailers as well as Young's own webstore. Eldorado will also receive a standalone digital release on the same day.
