Over a decade after the release of Neil Young's Archives Vol. I 1963-1972, the artist has finally detailed the follow-up volume. After teasing the release this summer, The Archives Vol. II: 1972-1976 is set to arrive on November 20 as a sprawling 10-disc box set featuring a ton of previously unreleased material and unheard versions of classic Neil tunes.
Among dozens of unheard recordings culled from the mid-'60s to early '70s, the set will feature a 1976 live album titled Odeon Budokan, recorded with Crazy Horse at Tokyo's Budokan Hall and London's Hammersmith Odeon. It also includes a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Raised on Robbery"; this year's archival release Homegrown; session material and outtakes from Zuma, On the Beach, CSNY's unreleased album Human Highway and more.
Overall, 12 of the set's tracks are previously unreleased in any format, with the box boasting 50 alternate, previously unreleased versions of Young originals.
News of the 100-plus-song box set arrives just days after the release of Young's The Times EP. Young also recently announced plans to officially release a highly sought-after bootleg recording of his first appearance at Carnegie Hall in 1970, among various other archival releases.
See the full Vol. II tracklisting below. Pre-orders are set to go live on October 16.
