Neil Young: Time Fades Away

I was thinking about this album today, like I do every so often, and think, fuck, why hasn't this classic live performance of Neil Young been properly re-issued on CD? This is widely considered by many people to be not only his best live album, but best album, period, the "holy grail" of his catalogue. I'd have to agree i think. This was recorded right after Harvest I believe, maybe I'm wrong.

I also wonder if this is a full performance or just parts. My guess is that it isn't the full show, it'd be nice to see a "complete" version of it come out.

In an effort to get this gem of essential Neil Young released, fans have started a petition at THIS SITE requesting that the album be officially released. MUCH MORE information about this album can be read at this site. Those interested in obtaining a legit copy of Time Fades Away are encouraged to sign the frikkin petition. Whether it will make a difference or not, who knows, but if you really love this album, it can't hurt to take the 30 seconds to sign it.

Until it gets a proper release, you can download mp3's of it from this site, they're just burned from the LP. Go to the March Archives, scroll down the page and you'll find the post:

Long live Neil Young!!!!!!!!!!
