<\/div>\n

A fan recently reached out to Neil Young<\/a> about his 76-year-old Uncle Eddie, expressing concern that Eddie won\u2019t live long enough to hear all of Young\u2019s archival releases. \u201cThat really bums me out,\u201d Young wrote on his archives site<\/a>, then outlined a potential plan to release an enormous cache of unreleased material to paid subscribers of the Archives long before it\u2019s made available to the general public.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been talking with our team about releasing all [the albums] here at NYA exclusively in 2020,\u201d he writes. \u201cInitially, these albums would not be released as CDs or vinyl. Eventually they may, but they would be here at NYA exclusively in the meantime and there are quite a few of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current system involves the release of an archival disc like Tuscaloosa<\/em>, Songs for Judy<\/em> and Roxy: Tonight\u2019s The Night Live<\/em> a handful of times per year \u2014 unless a new album gets in the way. They hit his Neil Young Archives<\/a> website at the same time that they are released to streaming platforms and as physical albums.<\/p>\n

The unreleased material Young is talking about here includes numerous  albums like 1975\u2019s Homegrown<\/em>, 1976\u2019s Chrome Dreams<\/em>, 1977\u2019s Oceanside-Countryside<\/em>, 1982\u2019s Island in the Sun<\/em> and 2000\u2019s Toast<\/em>. There are also several live albums, including 1976\u2019s Odeon Budokan<\/em>, 1978\u2019s Boarding House<\/em>, 1986\u2019s Live in a Rusted Out Garage<\/em> and 2012\u2019s Alchemy<\/em>. He has also assembled a collection of Danny Whitten-era Crazy Horse recordings he\u2019s calling Early Daze<\/em>. (The above list is probably just scratching the surface, since he records every concert, soundcheck and studio session \u2014 and has for decades.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Access to the Neil Young Archives currently costs $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year. If he goes through with his big plan, that would change. \u201cThis would create a new tier at NYA, possibly including On-Demand videos, movies and records, plus NYA\u2019s exclusive content for Uncle Eddie\u2019s tier (as yet unnamed),\u201d Young writes. \u201cYour subscription price will be higher for this tier. More changes will be added as we discuss this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young continues: \u201cEventually, over time these NYA exclusive records and films will be released to the public as hard goods and digital files with finished covers and art, but many will have already been available here at NYA long before they become hard goods released to the public by Shakey Pictures or NYA Records.\u201d<\/p>\n

One potential issue is the possibility of the material leaking out to the public once it\u2019s made available on the NYA. \u201cOf course we will try to make sure they do not escape into the Internet while they are exclusive to the NYA,\u201d Young writes. \u201cIf we can figure this out we will release many of them in 2020. That\u2019s what we are thinking. We will keep you posted when we reach a decision\u2026It\u2019s a race against time.\u201d<\/p>\n
