The Neil Young Archives Volume #3 release is now planned for September, per Letters to Editor | NYA.
The NYA box set, which has been delayed several times, was originally to be released in 2023, is expected to have 17 discs.
In November 2023, Neil Young gave a preview of the contents of the third edition of NYA, which is to cover 1976 to 1987, during a Zoom call with fans. The most comprehensive box in the archive series to date will contain unreleased songs, as well as, numerous films. A Blu-Ray format is expected.
According to Neil, NYA Vol #3 will be the penultimate episode of his archives.
After a lengthy internal debate, it was decided to keep the total number of four volumes that has been planned since the beginning. The fourth and final box set will cover around 30 years.
Producer Niko Bolas has already started mixing the final “NYA Vol. #4”.
AN UNOFFICIAL PREVIEW: Neil Young Archives Volume #3
If this actually comes out in September I’ll actually have some time to save up for it. Although I know it’s going to be expensive, I have purchased everything Neil has given us, so why should this be any different. I have five months to save, but I still don’t have a clue what it will cost. So I’ll just have to guess. From everything Neil has mentioned about this, it should be the release of the year.
ReplyDeleteTime will tell, but I’m not holding my breath for a September release date.
Peace 🙏
More Tour dates for July ... and Alan will be very happy, I guess.
ReplyDeleteRe NYA Vol.3 see my estimation on the recent patron call thread. Now that the Toronto Live Show is released we will be spoonfed the next big release. I am glad that they decided to wait with releasing Vol.3 until I will have returned from the mountains and shores of Crete. Although I will be pretty broke by then.
Of course, he doesn't say September of what year...
ReplyDelete@ Dan - Idaho date added!
ReplyDelete@ Dionys - Alan will be very happy, certainly.
He lobbied hard for Idaho date for Dan. See. Wishes do come true.
@ wardo - right. recall Vol#1 coming out in July? Neil & Elliot would say that every year for years as an inside joke on fans.
Lets hope the actual release is planned better than the fiasco last time around.
ReplyDeleteA Pre Sale for NYA members needs to be arranged.
