Neil Young’s On The Beach finally reissued as standalone vinyl LP

1974 classic reissued on LP along with Time Fades Away & others

Neil Young‘s celebrated, but often elusive, 1974 album On The Beach will be reissued as an individual vinyl LP in September, along with a few other classics, including Tonight’s the Night, and Zuma.

Young’s fifth studio album was recorded after 1975’s Tonight’s The Night, but issued before it. It failed to to match the commercial success of its studio predecessor Harvest but four decades on is highly regarded, exhibiting a bleak beauty; sparse, loose and mellow. Side two in particular, with its run of On The Beach, Motion Pictures and the nine-minute Ambulance Blues, is superb and moving.

On The Beach was unavailable for decades, and it wasn’t officially released on CD until as late as 2003.  Fans have been able to pick it up as part of the vinyl box set The Official Release Series Vol 5-8, which came out in 2014, but this is first time it has been in print as a single vinyl record for an extremely long time. All four records in that box will now be available separately and are issued on 9 September 2016
