Neil Young's OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 is a stunning collection of four albums that begins with the exciting renaissance that came with the release of FREEDOM in 1989, and continues on the unequalled exploration of collections RAGGED GLORY (1990), WELD (1991) and ARC (1991). In many ways, it is a musical travelogue of how Young saw the future and opened up creative worlds for the use of sound and originality which had not been used before. The OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 5 is available as a vinyl box set of the original four albums on 9 vinyl LPs and the CD version is now issued on 6 CDs. Like all the reissues in this series, the albums are remastered from the best source available--original analog tape in most cases. For the four albums in the series, this is the first time they have been remastered. In addition on RAGGED GLORY, the 10-song original album is expanded for this re-issue with 4 rare tracks. “Interstate” and “Don’t Spook The Horse” were both B-sides to singles. “Box Car” and the 12 minute “Born To Run” are both previously unreleased versions Tracklist 9LP Set FREEDOM01 Rockin’ In The Free World (Live Acoustic)02 Crime In The City (Sixty to Zero Part 1)03 Don’t Cry04 Hangin’ On A Limb05 Eldorado06 The Ways of Love07 Someday08 On Broadway09 Wrecking Ball10 No More11 Too Far Gone12 Rockin’ In The Free World (Electric) RAGGED GLORY – Smell The Horse01 Country Home02 White Line03 Fuckin’ Up04 Over and Over05 Love to Burn06 Farmer John07 Mansion on the Hill08 Days That Used To Be09 Love and Only Love10 Mother Earth (National Anthem)11 Interstate12 Don’t Spook The Horse13 Box Car14 Born To Run WELD01 Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)02 Crime in the City03 Blowin’ in the Wind04 Welfare Mothers05 Love to Burn06 Cinnamon Girl07 Mansion on the Hill08 Fuckin’ Up09 Cortez the Killer10 Powderfinger11 Love and Only Love12 Rockin’ in the Free World13 Like A Hurricane14 Farmer John15 Tonight’s the Night16 Roll Another Number 6CD Set FREEDOM01 Rockin’ In The Free World (Live Acoustic)02 Crime In The City (Sixty to Zero Part 1)03 Don’t Cry04 Hangin’ On A Limb05 Eldorado06 The Ways of Love07 Someday08 On Broadway09 Wrecking Ball10 No More11 Too Far Gone12 Rockin’ In The Free World (Electric) RAGGED GLORY – Smell The Horse01 Country Home02 White Line03 Fuckin’ Up04 Over and Over05 Love to Burn06 Farmer John07 Mansion on the Hill08 Days That Used To Be09 Love and Only Love10 Mother Earth (National Anthem)11 Interstate12 Don’t Spook The Horse13 Box Car14 Born To Run WELD01 Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)02 Crime in the City03 Blowin’ in the Wind04 Welfare Mothers05 Love to Burn06 Cinnamon Girl07 Mansion on the Hill08 Fuckin’ Up09 Cortez the Killer10 Powderfinger11 Love and Only Love12 Rockin’ in the Free World13 Like A Hurricane14 Farmer John15 Tonight’s the Night16 Roll Another Number
