Name: Raymond Ghysels Country: Luxembourg
Date: Sat Aug 31 23:05:18 2002 Comment: Dear Neil, What could I say ? You see,
even in tiny Luxembourg (450.000 inhabitants), you find a moron like me to wish
for a new release of this magnificent album ? How about a new vinyl release,
at least ? Still love you though. Take care.

30 00:40:15 2002 Comment: when people were trying to convince me that the new
guy, Dan Fogelberg, was the best yet... I played them On the Beach. They stared
at me like I had two heads. But I still think this is a great record. "Ambulance
Blues" alone would secure Young's place in history.
Name: Pierre Camus Country: Belgium Date:
Thu Aug 29 15:59:14 2002 Comment: Neil has good reasons to defend the vinyl
against the CD but no reason to deprive his fans of one of his best albums ever.

the great music and lyrics!

Aug 16 02:06:09 2002 Comment: I would love to see a great MIA album like this
back in the catalog. I recently found an MP3 of the entire album on Filetopia
(128 quality), which sounds pretty good. Also, a campaign with Rhino Handmade
might bring some results.
Name: Kristian Goddard Country: England

Thu Aug 15 00:39:37 2002 Comment: I bought On the Beach when it first came out
as an LP ( I'm 49 ) but my record collection has been through some changes since
then. I still have a treasured copy on cassette but a new CD would be worth
buying, it is my favourite Neil Young album.

Name: Dan Buxbaum Country: US Date: Tue
Aug 13 17:57:12 2002 Comment: I heard the title track on Pacifica Radio (in
NYC) the other night, and couldn't believe that I had never heard such a great
Neil Young song before! This made me want to hear the whole album--now I find
out it's OOP--what a drag. Powerful emotion in that song--and what soulful guitar
playing! "I went to a radio interview, and ended up alone with a microphone."
Man, I want to hear this track again--if I knew it was out of print, I would
have taped it. Damn!

Name: David Macarthur Country: Australia
Date: Tue Aug 13 09:25:00 2002 Comment: On The Beach is, I contest, the best
album Neil ever made. E.g. Walk On is brilliant; I love the guttural twang of
For The Turnstiles; and Ambulance Blues is simply transcendent. I applaud this
web-site for its mission to have this great album released on CD. Bravo!

Name: Richard Schmitt Jr. Country: USA
Date: Sat Aug 10 07:45:13 2002 Comment: OTB has always been my favorite Neil
Young LP. It came out just as I was beginning my senior year of HS. Transcendental,
spellbinding masterpieces. I have 2 vinyl copies, but would buy the CD to save
the vinyl and to use in the car. Ambulance Blues may be my favorite NY song.
I'm reading Shakey right now and the story of OTB is quite "innaresting". Great
book by the way. Can't put it down. Thanks to you Neil for always being there.

Name: Aaron Whan Country: Thailand Date:
Mon Aug 5 04:16:04 2002 Comment: I am a huge fan of Neil, but a quite recent
one at that. I am reading that this album is supposed to be his greatest. Now,
if that is true, and what with supposedly lesser albums existing like "After
The Goldrush" , "Tonight's The Night" and "Rust Never Sleeps", Neil owes it
to his fans to release this. Neil, you are the man, get this in the shops please.

from his fans and peers. He works hard at making his works available to the
world and they should not be held back for what ever reason.
