NEIL YOUNG's Archives Project Gets Closer to Reality

     MUSIC NEWS - Some additional details Neil Young's often delayed The Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972 box set have been announced.   According to a newly-released video clip (see below), the box set, on 10-disc DVD or Blu-Ray, with a February 24, 2009 release date,  will have 128 audio tracks, including 43 unreleased and 13 of which have never been heard previously.   The package, which comes with a 236-page hardcover book, will also feature access to thousands of images and hours of video.   One included video will be Journey Through The Past, Young's 1974 film that was never released on DVD, which has footage of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills Nash And Young.

The previously-released Archives albums, Live At The Fillmore East and Live At Massey Hall 1971, will also be included in the box set, but it doesn't seem that the recently-released Sugar Mountain - Live At Canterbury House 1968 will be included.  Hand-written lyrics, letters, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia will also be found in the Archives set, along with a detailed interactive timeline of Neil's career and is an audio of 'Aurora' by Neil's high school band, The Squires.
