Neil Young has announced another limited-edition all-analogue vinyl pressing of a chunk of his expansive, illustrious catalogue.

Arriving February 23 on Reprise Records, Dume compiles the 16 songs originally collected for 2020's The Archives Vol. II: 1972-1976 CD box set — including some recordings from the historic Zuma album sessions with Crazy Horse — on vinyl for the first time.

According to a press release, Dume "captures the live-wire spark" of Young's music during the mid-'70s, an era when "ampage" [sic] and "attack were being pursued." The singer-songwriter, Crazy Horse and producer David Briggs were living in the Point Dume area of Malibu, feeling a sense of newfound freedom after the release of Tonight's the Night and writing the songs that would make up Zuma in a steady stream.

"Dume is somewhat of a Mad Hatter's take using the Zuma album as a starting point and expanding that scope into a brand-new entity," the release continues.
