New Neil Young Collection to Come in DVD-stereo

Neil Young's Greatest Hits, a collection of sixteen of the legendary singer/songwriter's most memorable tracks, chronicling his extraordinary three-decade career on Reprise Records, has been set for release by the label on Nov. 16. This is the first time Young has released a single-disc collection of his most popular music.

With all aspects of the production overseen directly by the artist, Neil Young's Greatest Hits is being presented in DVD-stereo mixes from the original master recordings. Young strongly believes this is the most authentic sound technology currently available.

"One of the most important jobs of any musician is to provide quality sound to the people," explains Young, on the impetus of his unique approach to this first-ever compilation culled from his long Reprise tenure. "Quality has taken a hit in recent years, but it's starting to come back thanks to DVD-stereo … I've always been a strong believer in analog and this is about as close to the rewarding listening experience of vinyl as the real thing."

To underscore Young's commitment to the original audio fidelity of the recordings, he has included on the DVD-stereo disc visual accompaniment that features original vinyl pressings being played on a turntable in real time, along with accompanying art elements. Neil Young's Greatest Hits will be available as a single CD as well as a CD and DVD-stereo special edition.
