Americana - Neil Young

[DandyCobalt]

Re vinyl availability, even Acoustics Sounds in USA have launch date as 24th July ! Why so long, Neil?

Better be worth the wait

Is Americana available in FLAC anywhere (uk based)?

My Top 5:

After the Gold Rush

Harvest Moon

Live at Massey Hall

Ragged Glory

Harvest

Yes, Americana is available to download in FLAC from Neil's official site for less than a tenner. I'm UK based too, btw.

And it's 24-bit/44.1kHz with minimal compression - sweeeeeet!

But, having much faffage with metadata |(

Ditto faffage when I downloaded it. Great sounding though, as you note.

Difficult one that Charlie but, as of today:

Harvest

After The Gold Rush

Zuma

American Stars 'N Bars

Comes A Time

Plenty of others that I love though and that is before his collaborations like the Stills-Young Band (love that album) and the CSNY stuff.

I'll put Freedom and Ragged Glory in there too.

Hmm, initially underwhelmed by Americana, but it's proving to be a grower

Suspect Oh Susannah will be a fine addition to the live set :rockout:

Just finished listening to Americana not to bad I think ( hope) its a grower I have just started to listen to the very best of Roger Chapman and family and allready we are cooking on gas with shadow on the wall:rockout: :rockout:

Just had my amazon dispatch date for the vinyl pushed back to 8th August - is this ever going to arrive on vinyl? Still haven't listened to it yet.

(If anyone remembers The Likely Lads and their England v Hungary football episode?....it's like that for me.)

They had the vinyl in Fopp on Monday.

On the Beach (always use it for dem's, I could eulogise for hours on this album !)
Tonight's the Night ( Alberqurque alone is amazing)
Weld ( must be played as loud as you can get away with )
Everybody know's this is Nowhere ( 3 classic Neil tunes on his second album and the Rest....)
Freedom ( the first NY album I got into )

I should have put after the goldrush instead of Freedom , I used to hate Neil Young on principal when I was younger, but as I got older and less musically bigoted I remember hearing Rocking in the free world and someone gave me the album, never looked back.

I have seen him on every uk tour except Greendale, I love taking people who had never seen him before and have them gushing afterwards for weeks usually.

A true force of musical nature, I always have a good listen to all his albums because even now you never know if he's gonna pull something ou the bag.

I will stop now.............

Unless I am missing something, the download options have now gone form the Neil Young site. Or am I just being dim?
