Four Previously Unreleased Albums On Neil Young's Archives: Volume 2

Neil Young’s first Archives release boasted an impressive 10-disc behemoth that included 137 tracks plus film, video and more from a nine-year stint in his career. Now the second volume in this career-chronicling series is set for release, promising to bring to the light of day four previously unreleased Young albums.

Volume 2 takes on Young’s career where Volume 1 left off, cobbling together unreleased and reworked content from 1972-1982. Homegrown, Oceanside-Countryside and Chrome Dreams are all studio albums finally seeing release alongside one live album, from Young’s 1976 tour, titled Odeon-Budokan Live. Young’s official site confirms that “these albums initially will be released in vinyl from analog masters as they originally were created for that format.”

The package nor the vinyl have received no actual release date yet. The Guardian reports that there are plans for five volumes of Archives to be released two or three years apart.

“We have people working on it full-time,” Young’s manager, Elliot Roberts, told Sound and Vision last year.
