how will I get all of the value out of the boxed set without being able to listen to the tunes in my car or my work computer?

a download card for MP3s of all the tunes.

Pretty cool young pictorial Here

i want to start digging into NY. what should i get? and i'd like to know what particular version if he has a bunch of reissues/remasters.

I second the Decade rec. Its the best place to start, and will give you a great selection of early Neil classics.

I discovered my mom's tape version of "Decade" the summer after my freshman year of college. After a good two months I think my Walkman yelled "enough already!" at me.

Wait have those been released separately, or are those just part of the box?

Because the stuff on the box set is supposed to sound great. Like actually remastered.

I was just about to order these in, Amazon.ca has Neil Young for $4.99 and Everybody Knows... for $7.99. The other two are $10 and I actually only on physical copies of two of these, so I might as well seeing as they're not part of the Archives.

Cool. I'll probably snag all 4 at some point.

Never owned a copy of the s/t, and I don't really like it. But what the hell.

but still really hate the strings on 'A Man Needs a Maid'.

anyone know if the remastered albums recently released are going to be in the next archives releases?

Neil Young Preps New Archival Live Album Dreamin’ Man

Just in case we didn’t already get enough, a mere three months after Neil Young’s massive Archives Volume One box set came out, the Canadian rocker has announced a new disc of archival live material will be released on November 2.

Called Dreamin’ Man, the record is a complete live performance of Young’s classic Harvest Moon album, culled from various acoustic solo shows that went down in 1992. And as some fans may have guessed by now, it comes as the latest live disc in Young’s ongoing Archival Performance Series.
