NEIL YOUNG
Rarities [Angelic Music, 1CD]
Unreleased and hard-to-find tracks.
The set delivers unreleased and deleted vinyl-only tracks. War Song, Birds and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere are available officially on Archives Vol. 1. - Philip Cohen
Given the breadth of recordings available to make any number of Neil Young collectibles, the compilers behind Angelic Music’s Rarities, appeared to have stumbled upon some choice nuggets, so much so that three of them even found their way into the official Archives Vol. 1.
Meanwhile, hardcore Neil Young fans might have hungered for a version of Cinnamon Girl with a different vocal or a version of Campaigner with an extra verse. For those who collected 12-inch singles but don’t have the ability to digitise them, the vinyl-only tracks in this collection must have been heaven sent. And for that extra touch of nostalgia, those radio promo spots (does anymore still do them anymore?) should bring back some memories. Add to the enjoyment is how well the various tracks flow from one to the other.
To paraphrase Neil Young, this one’s for you.
Thanks to Phil for sharing the tracks.
Note: A longtime music fan, Philip Cohen was a contributor to the now-defunct ICE Magazine and compiled the boxsets for The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Humble Pie and Nice.

Again, thanks for this Neil offering. Never heard an electric version of “Last Trip To Tulsa”…I loved it.
Keep up the fantastic job.

To Rick D,
The electric version of “Last Trip To Tulsa” was the B-side of the single “Time Fades Away”.
By Philip Cohen on Jun 27, 2010
Not sure Cinnamon Girl is really different vocal - just sounds like Danny Whitten’s back up vocals are higher in the mix or Neil’s final vocal is missing. Still nice to hear and there are some real treasures among the rest. thanks very much!

Usual fine stuff. Thanks bigO !!!!!

This compilation is awesome, but doesn’t feature one ultra-rare “b-side-only” track from 1987 called “I’m Goin’” - b-side of “This Note’s for you” if I remember correctly.
You can find live versions but not the studio version that only ever appeared on the b-side of the 7″ single.. It hasn’t even appeared on any bootleg comps like this one.
anyone got a link to it? anyone can post it here? please please please
BigOzine - thank you for all the great things you share on this site.. keep up the great work

For the record, this is a boot of the “Hard to Find - Neil Young” volume of Westwood One’s “Rarities On Compact Disc” series (Vol. 17), released only to their member radio stations. Good to see all these tracks collected on one place and in such fine quality.

Thanks Phil. On the back cover I have a question. Has Neil been partying?

Thanks for sharing this excellent collection
By Matt on Aug 18, 2010
Phil, I see this is a condensed version of a 5cd set called Rarities. If you have that would you be able to share it?
By Matt on Aug 19, 2010
Top!
Thank you very much.

I keep find it funny some official tracks are omitted, while others are not. No More, Spook the Horse and a couple of others are easily officially available while some others are omitted. This is as a whole a good selection.

Nice weight of the world I always liked that song
