Description
Neil Young’s fourth solo album remains one of the most beloved in his catalog and is dense with songs that have long-permeated radio waves. The 50th Anniversary Edition Box Set will be released December 2, 2022, boasting the original album, three studio outtakes on CD, and an unreleased live 1971 BBC solo performance on CD and DVD. The film Harvest Time is a previously unseen 2-hour documentary filmed in 1971, documenting the Harvest sessions. Also included in the package is a hardbound book and fold-out poster. The vinyl box sets include a lithograph print.

Fans of the album will receive a new glimpse into Harvest through the two DVDs included in the box set. The first is Harvest Time, an unreleased two-hour film shot during the making of Harvest, with footage from Young’s ‘Harvest Barn’ sessions in Northern California, recording sessions in Nashville and London. The second is a film of the unreleased solo BBC Concert recorded on February 23, 1971. Also included are three unreleased tracks from the original Harvest sessions: “Bad Fog of Loneliness,” “Journey Through The Past,” and “Dance Dance Dance.” Additionally, the hardbound book will include never-before-seen photos along with extensive liner notes by photographer Joel Bernstein.

Amazing to me that 50 years later there are still unreleased Harvest outtakes!

Yeah, that BBC concert is pretty sweet.

well, i would really like to know what that 'unreleased' means.

in this case, all 3 songs have been out there and available in more than one place, both live and in the studio.

'bad fog of loneliness' - is on a couple of those early concert CD's he released over the last couple of years plus i know its on one of the archives, no idea which one.

'dance dance dance' is the same as 'bad fog'. it even appears on the first buffalo springfield box set.

'journey through the past', besides being on 'time fades away' it is out there on a couple more occasions and even got re-done for a movie soundtrack in the early 00's

but, with neil young you just never ever know.

Eye bee sew inn !!

Pity there is no Bluray of the 5.1 that came out on DVD-A years ago.

I’ll probably be sucked in

i've bought 'harvest"

the vinyl, not sure, but most likely twice.
one of my first CD's
the remaster with HDCD
the official album series box with HDCD removed
most of it was 'archives one" including all 3 bonus tracks.

needless to say, i will not be buying this, the video's do nothing for me whatsoever.

I also purchased all of these, plus the DVD-A that Mr Fuse mentioned.

The DVD-A is staying, the earlier iterations of Harvest can go (or have gone already).

I'll get this new edition.

There never comes a time (no pun intended) that I've bought a beloved album "too often". If there's something new, improved and/or extra, I'll buy it again.

Right on, Sista!

If Neil really cared about us, he'd go ahead and finally cover "A Horse With No Name", and throw it on this box set, ah ha ha ha !!

If BBC comes out in 24 bit, I would want it for that.

Not sure if anyone will care about this project at this point but here is my take on the film that’s included in the Harvest package:

Saw the movie last night in a theater last night and it had a good crowd. The movie starts off with present day Neil talking to the camera about how Harvest came to be (started with the Johnny Cash Show in Nashville and a late night jam session after the taping which included James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt) and how proud he is of the album.




Then we are transported back to the Broken Arrow Ranch in 1972 as the band he has hired sets up in the barn and begins to jam the song Alabama. You get a great peek into how the live songs using a remote truck sounded as they were performed by this brand new group (later called The Stray Gators).

The two highlights of the film for me is the scenes where his CSNY band mates help out with the vocals. We see David Crosby and Stephen Stills assist in a studio with Alabama. And a little later in a different studio, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills assist singing the chorus of Words. In this scene they are having a ton of fun. Some good laughs.



A lot of the movie is about the production of A Man Needs A Maid using the London Symphony Orchestra. Neil plays the piano as the orchestra tries to feel the rhythm he generates. It takes a while to get it right. Some great background stuff in these scenes.

Two funny things stand out. Neil goes to a Nashville radio station just as the album is being finished and is interviewed by Scott Shannon (who ends up being a great Radio DJ in NYC on Z100) and Neil says that he is in the movie that they are making and Scott says cool, when is it coming out? And Neil says soon. . As we now know, it finally has seen the light of day right now in 2022.

Then a young precocious kid (who appears to have cerebral palsy and used crutches) interviews Neil and his band in the lobby about the future of CSNY. Neil says we are taking a break and doing solo stuff but we stay in touch and will be back. Of course we now know they burn their bridges and now don’t talk to each other.

So the movie is a must see for CSNY and Neil fans!

I should post a photo of all my copies of Crosby, Stills & Nash (the couch album) sometime. It's kind of insane. I wasn't going to buy the Mobile Fidelity One Step 45rpm vinyl version, but I finally caved and ordered it. If there's a new version that might be better, I have to have it. Some day when I'm gone my boys will go through my collection and be forced to question everything they thought they knew about me. (Or maybe it will just confirm what they already knew.)

Oh, and I'm getting this new version of Harvest. Of course.

i could tell you all a very long and sweet story about a boy and girl and dorm room and a turntable with the 'harvest album on it and with the arm left up so that the same side of the record just kept playing over and over and over again again....those of you old enough will know exactly what i am talking about.

so about the story......another day

I would really like to see this.

And I would really like to read this.

The bonus audio is worthwhile.

Renny's story has bonus audio??? Now I'm really intrigued!!!

got me beat by a mile.
