In a new feature on NYA, Neil Young is now publishing "Letters To The Editor" -- and actually responding?!
"Letters To The Editor"
An assortment of topics in the current batch of that Neil personally replies to. Neil explains that missing analog master tapes of Ragged Glory and will be re-mastered by Engineer John Hanlon.
Other letter topics include NYA content and audio quality. Peter in Holland asked about the never played live "Deep Forbidden Lake". Neil wrote that he would play it at the next solo concert or maybe Promise Of The Real". He could also imagine "Over And Over Again" with the band.
Really great to see how Neil seriously takes fan input on NYA.

ReplyDeleteHe didn't really answer my question about the White Falcon....but it was nice to have him respond.
ReplyDeleteHilarious Billboard chat on the site ! Paradox number 4 ? stop it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Thrasher! How does one write a letter to the editor on the archives?
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteOn the left hand top corner of the MAIN page, there is a box with 3 horizontal lines.
Hit the box and a menu comes up...Contact us is a t the very bottom.
Hope that helps!
Thank you, Senor! Sometimes I'm too literal. Thought that was reserved for account issues. - Kathy

@Andy: That's the "Billbox" chart, "the most popular albums sold at the Xstream by NYA store."
ReplyDeleteAccording to a new-ish post in another section (John Hanlon's Notebook), "Songs For Judy" (aka The Bernstein Tapes) is in pre-production.
ReplyDeleteMost of the recordings come from the Bernstein's original audio cassettes, although sctually A Visit To The Archives shows analog reels from these shows, not cassettes. Probably the tour wasn't multitracked, if not selected shows, if any.
