Not a review, but a question. How come this set averages more than $20 a disk for material that's over 40 years old. I've already bought and paid for most of this stuff twice. What a rip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Neil turns his back on singer / songwriter stardom
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023

Off the human highway and into the ditch with Neil Young. Following the mega success of Harvest, Mr. Young was being lumped into the singer / songwriter midstream, alongside artists like James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Seals & Crofts, etc. Well, that fit didn't quite sit right with Uncle Neil, so he broke through the pop rules barricades and took an extended ride through the ditch. With amazing critical, if not commercial, results. Time Fades Away. Tonight's the Night. On the Beach. Zuma. Yeah, a walk on the wild side of stardom. Time Fades Away remains one of my all-time favorite live albums, some fifty years down the line. Tonight's the Night was shocking upon release, but it has maintained its critical cache all these many decades. On the Beach has always been something of a slow burn stunner to my ears and has sounded fresh any and every time I've played it. Zuma, a kind of musical smorgasbord from various sources and sessions, was probably the most successful of these four albums and remains one of my personal favorites. The full five and very highly recommended not only to Neil Young fans, but also to lovers of adventurous '70s rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long-awaited treasure for Neil Young fans!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017

Finally, Time Fades Away officially released on CD! And lucky for me, I never bought On the Beach or Zuma on CD either, so only Tonight's the Night is a duplicate for my collection. Packaged as the "Neil Young Original Release Series Discs 5-8," the four albums are newly remastered and packaged like vinyl albums.

THE MUSIC
Time Fades Away (1973)
Tonight's the Night (recorded late 1973 -- released 1975)
On the Beach (1974)
Zuma (late 1975)

For some reason, Neil has never allowed the live "Time Fades Away" to be released on CD until now. It is one of my favorites of all of his albums, so this is a great occasion! It sounds fantastic, and can now join "Tonight's the Night," another one of my Neil favorites, in the rotation. "Tonight's the Night," like the other three discs, has certainly been improved by the remastering.

Like the 1973 material, I had "On the Beach" and "Zuma" when they came first came out on vinyl, but I don't consider them to be in the same league. The "first side" of "On the Beach" is great, especially "Revolution Blues," but the second side just sounds like Neil moping. Nothing else on "Zuma" is as good as the epic "Cortez the Killer," but it sounds better than I remember -- enjoyable Neil with Crazy Horse country-ish rock.

THE PACKAGING
Each of the four discs comes in a sturdy cardboard case with the original album art, and they are housed in a thin cardboard case. So far so good, the basic packaging is fine.

Beyond that there are several puzzling and annoying inconsistencies. Why does "Tonight's the Night" have a fold-out design like a vinyl LP, while the other three are pockets with no fold-out? Why does "On the Beach" have a smooth, glossy surface while the other three are rough? Why do "Tonight's the Night" and "Zuma" have sleeves for the discs while the other two do not? Why do "Time Fades Away" and "Zuma" include the lyrics and the other two do not? Nowhere to be found is any information on the remastering, which is provided in the single-disc reissue of "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" from a few years ago.

One would think Reprise would have taken more care, knowing that this is a prized collector's edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Packaging than ORS Vol 1 (Discs 1-4)
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2017

They got the packaging better than the first set. At least you have facsimiles of the original lyric sheets/posters. And if you keep the discs in the slipcover, why should anyone worry about the discs falling out? I rather have the disc slide out easily than to have it catch on a crease or seam. And I think the whole set sounds great on CD. Thank you, Neil, for also finally releasing (officially) "Time Fades Away" on CD. I have worn out my vinyl copy (well, maybe not literally), and even bought a German CD of it (possibly bootlegged but still on sale here at Amazon), but I am considering this an official release with Neil's blessing and his imprimatur on it. Curious to see if these reissues will continue for the remainder of his (first) Reprise contract, or if Reprise will release the Geffen albums - under license of course), as if my memory serves me correctly there's only Hawks & Doves, and Re-Ac-Tor left before Neil signed with Geffen and released Trans. Of course they could skip right over to "This Note's For You" and "Freedom" or they could release that "Journey Through The Past" soundtrack - one of my friends from college had a vinyl copy of it - don't remember much about it other than the hazy picture of horsemen on the front - he didn't play it much. Anyways, thanks again for a much better re-issue package than Volume 1.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Night Of Neil Young
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is a package of the four Neil Young releases during 1973-75 that changed him from superstar to cult favorite. Time Fades Away was a daring step, a live offering of all new songs played with a ragged ensemble that sounded miles away from After The Gold Rush or Harvest. The subject matter was different too. Neil was rejecting the optimism and Utopian views of his partners in CSNY. The title track, LA, and Last Dance point to the darkness unleashed on the next set he recorded, Tonight's The Night. The music is stark and grim; it reflected Young's mental state after the overdose deaths of several friends and took the messy country rock of Time Fades Away to the verge of chaos. Ghostly piano and steel echo among savage electric guitar and bass and slurred vocals. The title track (played twice) and Tired Eyes make explicit the horror, grief, and dismay the players felt. On The Beach, recorded after but released before Night, and Zuma showed NY slowly stepping back from the void. On The Beach is still pretty strange. It features the threatening Revolution Blues and the gloomy On The Beach/Motion Pictures/Ambulance Blues suite. Zuma was a reunion with backup band Crazy Horse and a return to melodic music. It contains two guitar epics, the classic Cortez The Killer and Danger Bird, in which Neil imagines himself as a pterodactyl. There are only five songs from these albums on Decade, Neil's 1967-77 retrospective, and Time Fades Away is only available on compact disc here.

Après un premier Box ''Official Release Series Discs 1 - 4 Box set, Original recording remastered Discs 1-4'' avec les albums : Neil Young, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After The Gold Rush, Harvest du 15/12/2012; on commençait vraiment à désespérer d'attendre et d'entendre enfin une suite et c'est en date du 13/10/2017 que paraît deux box,

Le premier ''Original Release Series Discs 5-8 (4CD) New digital remasters of four solo albums 1973-1975''; avec les albums : On The Beach, Time Fades Away (first ever official release on CD!), Tonight's The Night & Zuma .

Le second ''Original Release Series Discs 8.5-12 (5CD) New digital remasters of 5 albums 1976-1979''; avec les albums : Long May You Run (with Stephen Stills), American Stars 'N Bars, Comes A Time, Rust Never Sleeps & Live Rust.

Le son des albums de ces deux nouveaux box est vraiment excellent et c'est la bonne nouvelle, cinq étoiles pour la musique !!

La mauvaise, c'est un packaging de misère, propement scandaleux pour un article de ce prix, plus de 50€ le box tout de même !

Honte à la Warner, j'espère au moins que l'artiste ne cautionne pas une telle indigence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Be Denied Any Longer Time Fades Away as ever Neil disappoints with no extras
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2017

Here it is after a wait of over 40 + years Neil Young releases the much bootlegged, discussed and fabled Time Fades Away. This era for Neil has been tagged as the 'doom' trilogy excluding Zuma, in reality it's Neil at his peak in the mid 70s. Starting with After The Goldrush and ending with Rust Never Sleeps - peerless. These releases offer nothing new 3 of these discs have been available for many years in all formats but TFA is the nugget here. The original vinyl release with hand written lyrics is much sort after. TFA is a live record with at the time all new songs, and it stands up after all this time well with the other records here which are now viewed by Rusties as classics. On The Beach is now viewed as one of his very best records and Tonight the Night made in the shadow of the loss of Danny Whitten & Bruce Berry to drugs contains some of Neils' best songs. As ever with neil we get no additional songs or information. For non fans this is where you should start - when you listen to his last batch of records? well enough said. TFA is a great live featuring Crosby & Nash plus Ben Keith, Johnny Barbata, Tim Drummond & Jack Nitzsche containing one of Neil's finest ballads 'The Bridge' and the 7 minute 'Last Dance' - Archives 2 is on the horizon in some shape or format in the meantime listen to Neil in his prime 1973-1976.
The format of these discs is similar to Archives 1, cardboard replicas of the vinyl album. Not remanstered but these records are so good it's a minor point. As ever Neil has not provided any bonus tracks, or notes or information. As all the reviewers have stated it's a rip off. But the music is great. We all know Neil he doesn't care. So there we have it the long wait over.

Poco podemos añadir a estas alturas sobre la obra de Neil Young. Aquí tenemos 4 discos (Time Fades Away, On The Beach, Tonight's The Nigth y Zuma) el primero de los cuales, era difícil de conseguir en CD. Con esta caja, ya lo tenemos disponible. En cuanto a los otros 3, viene bien la reedición porque son discos que los fans tenemos desde hace tiempo (y en todos los formatos) y siempre estamos buscando la excusa para actualizarlos con mejor sonido que el de las copias que tenemos desde hace tiempo.
