Shout out for Neil Young's Sugar Mountain Live LP


Came out yesterday. Sparse and elegant, with lots of banter between songs. Hard to imagine 40 years have gone by since this was recorded. The Buffalo Springfield songs have never sounded better, played on only an acoustic guitar, and there are a few early NY solo gems, like "Old Laughing Lady". In a word--Essential.

My understanding is that Neil Young has withheld many re-issues of older material on CD over the years because he is often not satisfied with the sound quality of many newer CD releases.

Young is a stickler for doing things the way he believes is right and I suspect this is a good omen for any new releases of remastered old material in his archives that comes out these days from an audio buff's perspective.

I'm looking very much forward to checking some of his new releases of old material out!
