Description
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 Youngs ON THE BEACH. In the first half of the 1970s 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 1972s 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.
