We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our site, provide personalised content and advertising, analyse our traffic, and ensure you see more of what you love.The song features a young man shooting for a fresh start after a love gone sour, but there’s an old-man weariness – “See the lonely boy, out on the weekend/Trying to make it pay” – that creeps in and ends up defining the entire record, particularly on “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold. Relistening to Harvest is also a good reminder of Young’s storytelling ability, from the morass of drug addiction portrayed in “The Needle and the Damage Done” (such devastation, told in just over two minutes) and the peak Neil Young melancholy found in “Words,” topped off with fiery guitar work. Song I Can’t Wait to Hear Live: “Journey Through the Past” – Young recently expressed his discomfort for touring during the waning pandemic, so it’s anybody’s guess when/if he’ll hit the road again. That's not the real Neil' spat a Neil Young superfan when I mentioned that 'Harvest' was my favourite Neil Young album.

Half a century after its original release, it remains perhaps his best (and most beloved) album, more than worthy of revisiting on its own merits. In terms of bonus audio, Young’s much-bootlegged February 23 BBC In Concert is included on CD and vinyl in the respective packages and three Harvest outtakes are also made available in physical form for the first time.

We are working on a plan with Reprise for those of you who feel the BBC DVD has a problem and we will let you know when we have something to offer you and a good method. The 50th Anniversary Edition will be released on triple-vinyl and triple-CD, both of which features the original album; a disc of three studio outtakes from the original ‘Harvest’ sessions (‘ Bad Loneliness’, ‘ Journey Through The Past’ and ‘ Dance Dance Dance’); and an unreleased live BBC solo performance. Also seen are sessions with the London Symphony Orchestra, creating the full sounds we get to hear on “Maid” and “There’s A World,” studio time with legendary Nashville DJ Scott Shannon, and more than enough extended jam sessions to satisfy the most hardcore of Neil Young fans. The whole box is quite pretentious for someone who claims to be greenwashed, full of useless paper, cardboard and plastic. After seemingly hundreds of years of different variations it is hard to say what the real Neil actually is but if you are going to start somewhere perhaps 'Harvest' is your best entry point.

Both the CD and vinyl box sets come with a DVD of the concert and the two-hour documentary Harvest Time, shot during the marking of Harvest. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. First up are three outtakes from the Harvest sessions: “Bad Fog,” with an acoustic intro that evokes “Needle”; “Dance Dance Dance,” a punchy, upbeat number; and “Journey Through the Past,” a sweet song of longing with great slide work that’s already grabbed a place among my favorite Neil Young songs.
