NEW NEIL YOUNG ILLUSTRATED RETROSPECTIVE BOOK

The first illustrated retrospective of this rock icon s career, one of rock and roll s greatest songwriters and performers. Covers a career from high-school drop-out, through Woodstock, Crosby, Stills and Nash, to headlining Glastonbury 2009 Concert posters, ticket stubs, performance photography, discography, and more. Neil Young has been described as brilliant, cantankerous, enigmatic, vexing. Nevertheless, his generation-spanning fan base and profound musical influence cannot be denied he is cited as a major influence by Curt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Sonic Youth, Radiohead amongst others, and has earned the title ‘Godfather of Grunge’ with his restless musical experimentation that transforms the most obvious music into something revelatory. From dropping out of High School to form his own band, Crazy Horse, he has ridden the ups and downs of the music world, from songs like ‘Ohio’ to commemorate the Kent State Massacre ( re-released after the Tianneman square massacre and dedicated to the Chinese students who died there), ‘Southern Man’, ‘Needle A Day Down’, and ‘Let s Impeach The President’ against George W Bush. Spanning 41 studio albums, 6 live releases, and over forty years as a touring and recording artist, this is the first and only illustrated biography to cover Young s early years, his rise to fame in the radical Sixties, the tenure with Buffalo Springfield, and CSN & Y, and his varied solo career, through the turbulent Seventies, to a difficult and painful obscurity for the Eighties until his re-emergence a decade later, still brilliant, still radical, and possibly more popular that ever with every age of the music-buying public. Packed with rock photography from the Sixties to today, concert posters, memorabilia from around the world, plus commentaries from notable musicians around the world, and a full discography, this is the ultimate tribute to an electrifying performer and will be eagerly received by his legion of fans world-wide.

Neil Young stunned fans at his Madsion Square Garden shows last year by playing 8 new songs. Turns out he had a burst of creativity based on his LincVolt project, the 1959 Lincoln  Continental he’s turned into an electric/hybrid. 

The new album features Young’s current Electric Band: Young, bassist Rick Rosas, drummer Chad Cromwell, guitarist/organist/pedal steel player Ben Keith, and Young’s wife Pegi on vocals.

Released in Europe on 30 March and 31 March in the US

Young’s manager Elliot Roberts told a news conference at the South By Southwest Festival in Texas that the project was finally ready for release and would be with us early in June.

The multi-disc set will be released on Blu-Ray, DVD (both 10 disc) and CD (8 disc) and a number of variations of those formats costing from around £200. It will contain a massive amount of unreleased and unheard material (in audio terms alone there are 128 tracks, 43 of those previously unreleased and 13 of those never before heard).

The CD box contains the previously released Fillmore East and Massey Hall concerts as well as six more discs containing a mixture of live and studio material.

The Blu Ray set is something altogether more special. The ten-disc set will act like a “filing cabinet” of music containing all of the material available on the CDs as well as hours of documentary, live and studio footage, hundreds of photographs, notes and bits and pieces of memorabilia. People that purchase the Blu Ray edition of the box will be able to download and update their Archive “filing cabinet” with new material as and when Young adds it.

You will also be able to buy all of the separate discs in all of the formats individually.
