DUME Coming Feb 23rd - Another "Lost" Neil Young & Crazy Horse Album
(Click photo to enlarge)
Neil Young & Crazy Horse's "lost" album Dume is a limited edition, all analog vinyl pressing scheduled for release on Feb 23rd.
With 16 recordings, some of which were part of the historic ‘Zuma’ album sessions and others previously unreleased, the album's vinyl release is being eagerly awaited after news emerged several years ago of future Archives releases.
From REVIEW: Neil Young Archives Volume II (1972 - 1976) Boxset | Everybody’s Dummy:
Dume (1975) not only widens the scope on Zuma by about half an hour, but reveals some of the incredible candidates left off that album, such as an earlier version of “Powderfinger” and electric takes on “Ride My Llama”, “Pocahontas”, and amazingly, even “Kansas” and “Hawaii”.
“Too Far Gone” and “No One Seems To Know” appear a year before the live takes on Songs For Judy; “Born To Run” is not the Bruce song, but a Neil original tried and abandoned over the decades. Look Out For My Love (1976) is even more sprawling, the continuing adventures of the refurbished Crazy Horse alongside that year’s CSNY experiment that dwindled down to the short-lived Stills-Young Band, culminating in another stab at “Human Highway”. But first we get a transcendent “Separate Ways” that would have tilted Long May You Run even further in Neil’s favor, a band take of “Traces”, and two tracks with the Crosby-Nash vocals still intact.

1. Ride My Llama

I miss Mazz
The eight songs that don't already appear on Zuma total 32 minutes, whereas the Zuma songs are just under 34. "Too Far Gone" was on Chrome Dreams. I suppose I should be relieved he didn't stick "White Line" -- which should have been included on the Look Out For My Love disc but wasn't -- in there as a pricey bonus. (Thanks for the shoutout though!)
Zuma is such a masterwork it feels weird to listen to it in the form of the Dume tracklist. But that’s really just an expanded and reordered version of Zuma! The vinyl will rock. I’ll take it for the artwork alone.
The good news: I got a new Audiotechnica turntable under the tree this year. Will have to consider the merits of Dume on vinyl. As mentioned, it’s roughly 50% Zuma and 50% outtakes, but we knew it was just the Dume disc from NYA2 across 2 LPs, right? No point kvetching about what was already known; it’s clearly for vinyl lovers, since the NYA box sets are not on vinyl.
In other words, if you don’t get a certain amount of special enjoyment from records as opposed to CDs or streaming, you’re not the target. On the other hand, there’s certainly a conversation to be had about how expensive new vinyl can be these days. It’s more or less treated as a premium option in the age of streaming. At the same time, the demand seems to be strong enough they can get away with higher prices. Add to this recent supply chain issues, compounding what must be a relatively involved process of mastering, pressing, and distributing vinyl.
I’m not an economist, mind you. But it’s well known that tight supply relative to demand levels tends to drive up prices.
This isn't for me. All you hipsters can go for this vinyl, but I'm waiting for the Edison Cylinder release.
