The sprawling repository of Neil Young is at it again, with plans to release the first-ever vinyl pressing of Odeon Budokan this fall.
Recorded with Crazy Horse in 1976, the live album will finally get put on wax for a September 1 release via Reprise.
Produced by David Briggs, the 10-track collection was recorded nearly a world apart at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo. Side 1 dates back to March 31, 1976, with Young performing a solo set on guitar and piano, while the latter half was put to tape two weeks earlier on March 11 with the singer-songwriter and Crazy Horse at what press materials describe as an "early electric apex."
Odeon Budokan has only previously been available on CD as part of Young's 2020 The Archives Vol. II: 1972-1976 box set. The vinyl pressing will be sold at the Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives (NYA), as well as music retailers everywhere. High-resolution digital audio of the album will be streaming on most platforms, except for that one.
Pre-orders are ongoing. See the full tracklist below.
