Mitchell Joni: Archives vol 4 1976-80 [6 CD]

Young Neil: Archives vol III 1976-87 [17 CD]

THE ASYLUM YEARS (1976-1980) delves into Joni Mitchell's jazz-inflected sound on the late 1970's studio albums - Hejira (1976), Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (1977) and Mingus (1979) - and the live album Shadows and Light (1980). Famed bassist & composer-and longtime Mitchell collaborator-Jaco Pastorius appears prominently on each of the four albums in this set, alongside other noted jazz luminaries like Charles Mingus and Herbie Hancock. <br/><br/>THE ASYLUM YEARS (1976-1980) is newly remastered and presented with premium packaging featuring abstract cover artwork from Mitchell's private fine arts collection.

The start of a musician's career is not only an intriguing collection of what happened, but maybe even more important is a gaze into what their future might hold. With musical artist Neil Young, Archives Vol. I: 1963-1972 offers the sounds of his first decade, but just as importantly holds a light on the future of what's to come. Young's world of sound and spirit remains a never-ending adventure. It starts here. <br/><br/>Neil Young Archives Vol. I: 1963-1972 is the first in a series of archival box sets encompassing Young's entire career. Vol. I was originally released on June 2, 2009, in three formats: A 10-disc deluxe edition in either Blu-ray or DVD and an 8-disc CD box.<br/><br/>Out of print for over a decade, the 8-CD box set is now being re-issued in its original format - housed in the "Garypak", a unique package designed by Young's long-time art director, the late Gary Burden. Each CD has its own custom sleeve.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers famously played 20 nights at the legendary Fillmore venue in San Francisco in 1997. 6 of the shows were professionally recorded and this release features many of the high points of the residency. The small venue allowed the band to vary their sets each night; they included re-arranged and distinctive versions of their hits, deep cuts, and many cover versions-paying tribute to the artists that Tom and the band had been influenced by. The 4 CD deluxe edition includes 58 tracks, 35 of which are covers - over 4 hours of music. The 4 CDs are packaged in a box with a 32-page booklet (with previously unseen photographs), 3 custom guitar picks, a replica All Access laminate, and an embroidered patch ("The Fillmore House Band" -a term that was bestowed on The Heartbreakers during the shows at the Fillmore).

The fourth installment in Neil Young's Official Release Series (ORS): a box set that includes his classic '80s records Hawks & Doves, Reoacotor, and This Note's for You, as well as his Eldorado EP, previously released only in Japan and Australia. <br/><br/>The ORS Vol 4 collects an eclectic set of decade-spanning sounds. Hawks & Doves (1980) revisits his folk roots and explores some of his most country-leaning offerings; the blistering Reoacotor (1981) showcases a stomping set of heavy, overdriven rock with Crazy Horse; and This Note's for You (1988) casts Young as a big band leader, belting out intricately arranged blues. The Eldorado EP (1989) is full of feral distortion and earthy crunch featuring Young backed by The Restless (Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas). It includes two thundering tracks - "Cocaine Eyes" and "Heavy Love"- not available on any other album.
