Neil Young – Official Release Series Vol 4 (4CD)
Neil Young – Official Release Series Vol 4 (4CD)
Format: 4CD – 4 Vinyl LP Box Set
Label: Warner Records
Release: 2022
Release date: April 29, 2022
Neil Young announces the release of the fourth installment in his Official Release Series (ORS): a box set that includes his classic ‘80s records ‘Hawks & Doves,’ ‘Re•ac•tor,’ and ‘This Note’s for You’, as well as his ‘Eldorado’ EP, previously released only in Japan and Australia.
The ORS Vol 4 collects an eclectic set of decade-spanning sounds. ‘Hawks & Doves’ (1980) revisits his folk roots and explores some of his most country-leaning offerings; the blistering ‘Re•ac•tor’ (1981) showcases a stomping set of heavy, overdriven rock with Crazy Horse; and ‘This Note’s for You’ (1988) casts Young as a big band leader, belting out intricately arranged blues. ‘The Eldorado’ EP (1989) is full of feral distortion and earthy crunch featuring Young backed by The Restless (Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas). It includes two thundering tracks — “Cocaine Eyes” and “Heavy Love”— not available on any other album.
ORS Vol 4 collects a large swath of his diverse and compelling ‘80s work, testifying to the legendary songwriter’s gift for sonic shape-shifting.
