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.
