Neil Young to issue four unreleased albums

After keeping them in the vaults for nearly 40 years, Neil Young is planning to issue four unreleased albums. Homegrown, Oceanside-Countryside and Chrome Dreams will be released as part of the singer's Archives Volume 2. Young will also unveil the Crazy Horse live album Odeon-Budokan Live, recorded in Japan and London in 1976. Neil Young's first Archives collection , released last year, was a behemoth: 10 Blu-ray discs, 137 tracks, plus films, photos, lyrics and articles from 1963-72. But there's much more in the library. According to Young's manager, Elliot Roberts, there are plans for five volumes of Archives, with a "two- or three-year bridge" between each release. "We have people working on it full-time," he told Sound and Vision last year. Young's website promises "even more content" for Volume 2. Homegrown, "a very down album" , was dropped to make way for 1975's Tonight's the Night. Chrome Dreams, from 1977, was shelved in favour of American Stars 'n Bars. Although Young recently championed Blu-ray , Shakey's site now says it's "time to get your new phonograph player". All four unreleased LPs will initially be issued "[on] vinyl, from analogue masters, as they were originally created for that format".
