and the other unreleased albums on CD. It is amazing how much crap from other
"artists" has been reissued on CD and these albums are still missing. Let's
get going- NOW. I am 50 years old and tired of waiting.

It is too bad that the only way people can get it is on Napster, or some other

Feb 25 18:12:06 2001 Comment: The power of all art trandscends the medium by
which it is presented. The effect of art happens in a human being's mind, which
is not only capable of being affected on a profound level, but is also more
than capable of forgiving any short-comings, medium-wise. I learned to play
guitar to this record. The vinyl is beyond worn out. Please give me a clean
copy - in the meantime, even though the CD format is headed for the turnstiles...

Feb 21 16:14:47 2001 Comment: I recently recorded both "On The Beach" and "Time
Fades Away" from a tape, recording from tape to tape gives crappy sound, Neil
would be very displeased with those results. These are two of his best albums,
there is not a bad song in my opinion on either one, and regarding Time Fades...
what a great idea: new songs done live. Please please please rerelease these
albums.*

21 00:09:36 2001 Comment: Most of us are not audiophiles. On The Beach should

Mon Feb 19 13:09:48 2001 Comment: Well, thanks to this site I now realise that
many years hopefully searching in case I found it on a Japanese import or something
were doomed to failure! I can vouch for 3 of the "missing 6" albums: OTB, Time
Fades Away and American Stars n Bars (all excellent), but I haven't heard the
other 3. Hopefully it won't turn into a Stanley Kubrik/Clockwork Orange scenario
where we have to wait until the guy's dead... :-)

Feb 14 01:02:54 2001 Comment: I purchased this work originally when it was first
released on cassett. The tape was played to the point it was totalled. I would
purchase this music in any form it was available in if only I could. I have
been searching for years to no avail. If this comment can in any way pursuade
Mr Young to re-relaise this outstanding album again I would be forever thankful.

telkens weer was er die verwachting van nu eindelijk.... maar nu hoeft het van
mij niet meer! Ik blijf naar de LP luisteren en die cd uitgave kan me gestolen
worden, beslist niet meer van belang! Tsjuus TJA!

opinions that match your own! Sad tosser! (The site owner
[that's me] had deleted an insult from Seth from the guestbook)
Colin replies: Not true Seth, if you can be bothered to
look through the archive you will find a few dissenting comments.
The fact that there are not many to be seen is entirely
due to the fact that I don't receive very many. I do NOT delete dissenting comments,
I DO, however, delete insults. What I take issue with is when someone such as
yourself is being offensive. It's boring, it's irrelevant and it just makes
YOU the sad one, I'm afraid. Stick to the point, say what ya like but stick
to the point. This is an On The Beach petition site, anything pointless gets
dumped. And anyway, why should I care about you lot? , it's my site, I can do
what I want......ooops, stop it now...we
return you now to your regular broadcast...

have the vinyl. It's still mint condition! Got a boot of it too! Plus a poster
I got for free at a record store of it! It's a dark album, emotion wise, which
is why it's so f*cking great these days! Resonance, I believe they call it!

Sun Feb 4 23:31:45 2001 Comment: I personally think that "On The Beach" should
not be released on CD. I paid £15 for an excellent second hand vinyl copy in
1989 and then in December 1999 managed to pick up a second copy, mail order,
from a Boston record shop for $6 (!!) plus $4 postage. It comes with inner and
is in very good condition too. As for the other five; well I have them all on
vinyl too so I'm not bothered. CDs are fine for some artists but for Neil--it
has to be vinyl

Sun Feb 4 19:46:40 2001 Comment: On the Beach is my favourite Neil Young album
and it's really annoying that I have to listen to a copy recorded from an LP
on to a crappy MC. The LP was bought in 74! So as you can imagine it's not in
very good nick. Please release it! For God's sake, some of Dylan's crappiest
stuff from the 80s is on CD, so why not Neil Young's best? Anyway, I'm rambling...
PS release the other 5 that are currently unavailable too... Please!

Distressed to hear 2nd hand vinyls worth so much. My cheap SA version became
brittle & cracked. A serious loss. Would like to replace entire vinyl collection
with CD's. Sound not such an issue as storage space!
Name: Joel Osburn Country: USA Date: Sat
Feb 3 02:31:13 2001 Comment: I can't say this is his best album, but it's my
favorite simply because it's so new, and both artistically and musically eclectic.
I can see why Neil might not want to re-release this album due to the emotional
period he must have been going through at this point in his life.

Blues" on their last tour.

that the likes of Will Oldham et al don't mind appearing on digital formats,
albit that they'd probably prefer sepia-coloured vinyl and a nice cardboard
jacket to match. We all know the privations and homogenising limitations of
compact disc technology (and the corruption that is their trade mark-up price
- particularly in the UK). But hey, either have the courage of your idealogue
convictions and strip your entire back-catalogue from the record-
