Neil Young-Basement Tracks

£24.00

A new Neil Young rarities collection surfaces; side A here draws on Neil Young's early-70s radio session recordings; all solo acoustic and unadorned, the versions of 'Sugar Mountain', 'After the Gold Rush' and 'Heart of Gold' sitting slightly outside the official canon. Side B is where it gets more interesting for the committed: 'Lady Wingshot', 'The Ways of Love', 'Bad Fog of Loneliness' and 'Cocaine Eyes' are outtakes and shelved recordings that circulated for years on tape before any official acknowledgement, sitting alongside the Crazy Horse electricity of 'Powderfinger' and 'Like A Hurricane'.
