![]() He is without doubt one of the few creative artists that has never compromised his gift or patronized his fans. Yet he has never released an album that I didn’t’ find compelling. ![]() Throughout his storied career I have always admired his ability to surprise and confound his fans. Neil has always followed his own path and with this one exception I have always been impressed with his choices. But I’m so grateful for the multitude of quality releases that Neil has given us and look forward to the future releases he has already prepared. That being said the 50th anniversary of After the Gold Rush is the only Neil Young release I won’t be purchasing on vinyl as it is simply over priced for what is offered.

The Deja Vu 50th is an embarrassment of riches, and After The Gold Rush 50th anniversary is simply an embarrassment. Only one unreleased song from Neil, but his unmistakable guitar work can be heard on several of the unreleased material, and needless to say. The cover is an exact replica of the original album and the sound of the music is phenomenal. The booklet comes with a historical and well written text, and includes some great photos of some very young and talented musicians. There are 29 unreleased tracks and several of them are remarkable. I don’t want to single anything out quite yet as I need to listen several times before I commit to individual songs, but the vinyl sounds excellent and the pressing is beautiful. Just finished listening to the entire Deja Vu box set and I’m extremely impressed.
