Neil Young's Mirrorball Reissue


 Neil Young has announced the reissue of his album, Mirror Ball, featuring "the Band."  It will release on October 24th as part of a CD or vinyl, 4-album boxed set that includes Unplugged, Harvest Moon, and Sleeps with Angels.  Though the album is not available by itself, single-album releases from Neil Young's archives generally become available in the following months.  So, keep your eyes out, and we'll let you know.

You can pre-order the boxes at Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives (NYA) or wherever you buy your favorite music.

Mirror Ball is an analog recording and the album has been remastered from the original analog masters by John Hanlon and Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Additionally, four of the tracks have been remixed in analog by John Hanlon, as the originals were from digital mixes ("I'm the Ocean," "Big Green Country," "Truth Be Know," and "Throw Your Hatred Down").

Mirror Ball, originally released in 1995 and recorded with Pearl Jam. Considering the Seattle band was one of the prime movers of rock bands in the 1990s, it was an event immediately upon its release, and found a rabid, younger audience and inspired long-time fans alike with its inherent high energy. Songs like "I Am the Ocean" and "Throw Your Hatred Down" helped impact so much of the second half of the 1990s.
