Neil Young Archives Official Release Series. Remastered for vinyl from the original master tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, Hollywood CA.
A 50th anniversary for a seminal album is an opportunity to reflect and reevaluate. A half-century on, and it can take on a new life and a new meaning, especially when that album is Neil Young’s ‘On The Beach’. In the first half of the 1970’s as Young was recording collections of songs that would each take on an aura of their own, ‘On The Beach’ became its own achievement. It followed the release of 1972’s ‘Harvest’, which reached Number 1 on the Billboard sales chart. This new anniversary limited edition of ‘On The Beach’ is pressed on clear vinyl, with ’50’ added to the front cover to mark the passage of time. The songs range from “See The Sky About To Rain” to “Ambulance Blues” and explore the evolving counterculture in the 1970s in ways which had not been done. These were songs that Young took into a new realm of where he and the country were going, and where that would take them.

On the Beach was savage and, ultimately, triumphant. "I'm a vampire, babe," Young sang, and he proceeded to take bites out of various subjects... Following the 1973 Time Fades Away tour, Neil Young wrote and recorded an Irish wake of a record called Tonight's the Night and went on the road drunkenly playing its songs to uncomprehending listeners and hostile reviewers. Reprise rejected the record, and Young went right back and made On the Beach, which shares some of the ragged style of its two predecessors. But where Time was embattled and Tonight mournful, On the Beach was savage and, ultimately, triumphant. "I'm a vampire, babe," Young sang, and he proceeded to take bites out of various subjects: threatening the lives of the stars who lived in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon ("Revolution Blues"); answering back to Lynyrd Skynyrd, whose "Sweet Home Alabama" had taken him to task for his criticisms of the South in "Southern Man" and "Alabama" ("Walk On"); and rejecting the critics ("Ambulance Blues"). But the barbs were mixed with humor and even affection, as Young seemed to be emerging from the grief and self-abuse that had plagued him for two years. But the album was so spare and under-produced, its lyrics so harrowing, that it was easy to miss Young's conclusion: he was saying goodbye to despair, not being overwhelmed by it.

It's bluesy, it's dark, it's Neil wailing from the soul with renewed strength in his voice, while stretching out on guitar... Easily one of Neil Young’s best albums, I listen to the brilliant ‘On the Beach’ LP very regularly! It's bluesy, it's dark, it's Neil wailing from the soul with renewed strength in his voice, while stretching out on guitar! For decades, Young blocked the LP from being released on CD, as he didn't feel the format captured the live, open sound of the vinyl. ‘On the Beach’ is a holy grail in the extensive Neil Young catalogue and is well worth seeking out! Originally Neil Young had intended for the LP to be in reverse order, with Side 2 to be Side 1 (the album starting with the title track), but was convinced by producer, David Briggs to swap them at the last moment, so that the album began with “Walk On". Young said he came to regret switching the sides, so whenever I play ‘On the Beach’, I honour Neil's original intent and listen to Side 2 first!
