Neil Young har ikke ligget på latsiden under covid-lockdown. Tidligere har hans modus operandi alltid vært «ny musikk trumfer gammel musikk», noe som førte til at det tok nesten 30 år fra han begynte å snakke om Archives-boksen, til det faktisk var mulig å få kjøpt Volum 1. i butikk. Nå har pandemien gjort sitt til at han kan fokusere sin energi på retrospektive utgivelser, og vipps så foreligger Neil Young Archives Vol. II her nå, i all sin prakt. Volum II tar for seg årene 1972-1976, og dette var en ekstremt produktiv periode for herr Young. Her får du en sareptaskrukke av uutgitte låter, alternative versjoner og kick ass liveopptak. For en fest! Dette er essensielt.
