Neil Young preps “new” live set, delays “Archives”
NEW YORK (Billboard) – There’s good news and bad news for long-suffering Neil Young fans.
The good: highlights from a sought-after November 9-10, 1968, run from the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Mich., will be released as “Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House 1968” November 25 via Reprise Records.
The bad: Young’s endlessly delayed “Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)” is officially pushed back to some point in 2009. Young has waffled about whether the project will only be available on Blu-ray and DVD or whether there will be CDs sold; the latest word from Reprise is that “Archives” will be DVD only.
“Sugar Mountain,” which will not be included in “Archives Vol. 1,” was taped a few days shy of Young’s 23rd birthday. Young had split from Buffalo Springfield six months earlier, and was testing out his solo material in front of audiences more accustomed to seeing him perform with a band.
The album features future young staples such as “Mr. Soul,” “Expecting To Fly,” the title track and “Broken Arrow,” along with several snippets of between-song banter where Young discusses the menial jobs he held in Toronto.
