Neil Young and The Squires (1963 or 1964, V records ??)
The Sultan
The Sultan
Aurora
Produced by Harry Taylor
Musicians: Neil Young: Lead Guitar
Allan Bates: Rhythm Guitar
Ken Koblun: Bass
Ken Smyth: Drums
Notes: This is Neil's first single. These were instrumentals recorded
by Neil and the Squires. It was recorded on July 23, 1963 in
CKRC studios in Winnipeg as a two-track recording, and it was
only released locally. The master tapes are, apparently, lost
forever. The versions that should appear on the highly
anticipated Neil Young Box Set, "Archives", are taped from a
copy of the single and cleaned up.
These were the only two songs ever released that the Squires
recorded. They did record later in Thunder Bay (then Fort
William), but these songs were never released. These songs
were "I'll Love you Forever", "I Wonder" (an early "Don't Cry
No Tears"), and "Together Alone". All have vocals and all are
now in Neil's possession (he got them from the producer when he
visited Thunder Bay in '92). They also recorded 6 or 7 songs
(apparently) in Toronto. These to are now in Neil's
possession.

and your daddy don't rock and roll". The Loggins in "Loggins
and Messina" is Kenny Loggins of Footloose fame.

early '70s. He's on Randy Newmans "12 Songs", the first Crazy Horse

from Turner" and "Sister Morphine" come to mind), a few Captain
Beefheart albums, and many others. He also made a bunch of great
"roots" records during the '70s & '80s. Most recently, he has joined

Vocals: Neil Young, Danny Whitten, Nils Lofgren,
Steven Stills, Ralph Molina
Harmonica: Neil Young
Vibes: Neil Young
Patches (on album cover): Susan Young (Neil's 1st wife)
Notes: Most of these songs were inspired by a screenplay for the movie
"After The Goldrush", which was never actually filmed. The
screenplay was co-written by Dean Stockwell, who designed the cover
for _American_Stars_&_Bars_, and stars in the American TV show
"Quantum Leap."
The southern band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, did not like how Neil's
songs, "Southern Man" and "Alabama" (on _Harvest_), perpetuated
the myth that all American Southerners live in cabins and lynch
Afro-Americans (even though a few Southerners still do!) [RLR].
In fact, Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote the song "Sweet Home, Alabama" in
reply to Neil and actually mention his name! Despite all this,
Neil and Lynyrd Skynyrd are not really agitated with each
other, and Neil once joined Lynyrd Skynyrd on stage to play
"Sweet Home Alabama" (or so its rumored) [RS]! Also, Neil
originally wrote "Sedan Delivery" and "Powderfinger" for Lynyrd
Skynyrd, who never recorded them.
"Oh, Lonesome Me" is a Don Gibson cover.
In the liner notes for this album, there is a track listing
written in Neil's handwriting. Apparently, this was the set
list for a concert [JM]. Most of the songs in the list are
currently unreleased songs. Here is the listing:
1. Oh Lonesome Me
2. Wondering
3. Everybody's Alone
4. Sugar Mountain
5. Sea Of Madness
6. Big Waves
7. Dance, Dance, Dance
8. Birds
9. I Need Her Love To Get By

listed above are the CSN/Y songs that appear on the album. The
album does not say if Neil actually played on these songs, but

Express" [DGS]. He may have played on the other songs as well.

Notes: (*) by Neil Young.
This is a CSNY Live Album recorded at the Fillmore East, New York,
June 2-7, 1970; Chicago Auditorium, Chicago Ill., July 5, 1970; and
The Forum, LA, June 26-28, 1970. Unfortunately, some of the songs
do not show the group at their best. In fact, C, S, and Y did not
want this album released on CD because of this, but, alas, the CD
was finally released in Japan in early 1990 and everywhere else
during the Summer of 1992. The 1992 CD release has 4 bonus tracks
which are marked by a (+).
A few of the songs are performed solo by their writers, and are
good. Especially Neil's acoustic version of "Cowgirl In The Sand"
and "Don't Let It Bring You Down". Also, there are several
between-song comments that are cool to hear.

studio conversations made during the recording of these songs.
"Find The Cost of Freedom" and "Ohio" were recorded during a

Richie Furay: Vocals, Rhythm Guitarist
Neil Young: Vocals, Piano, Lead Guitarist
Bruce Palmer: Bass
Notes: Another retrospective album, but double this time, so it has ~2/3 of
the band's recorded output. Contains the 9 min "long version" of
Bluebird. Why "In The Hour of Not Quite Rain" was included I'll
never understand as it was a "prize" in a contest LA radio station
KHJ had in which the winner got their song massaged (by Richie) and
recorded by the Springfield. Some other artist, I can't remember
who, also had this dubious honor.

Notes: Carrie (see "Motion Pictures") is most likely Carrie Snodgrass,
an actress and one of Neil's old girlfriends. After, or
perhaps the reason for the split with Susan (Neil's 1st wife),
Neil fell in love with Carrie. Listen to "A Man Needs a Maid"
for Neil's commentary on the beginning of this love affair.
"Awhile ago somewhere, I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playing a part that I could understand"
The movie was "Diary of a Mad Housewife" starring Carrie
Snodgrass. Neil's and Carrie's relationship did bear a son,
Zeke, Neil's first child. It is rumored that something wicked
happened between Carrie and Jack Nitzsche.
Levon Helm and Rick Danko are from the band "The Band".

Jack Nitzsche: piano on "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown"
George Whitsell: vocals on "New Mama"
Notes: The songs on this album were recorded in 1973, but were not
released until 1975. The story is that Neil only had 9 songs
for the album, and so put it aside to do "On The Beach". Some
also say that it was shelved due to lack of support from
Warner/Reprise [JM]. After finishing the currently unreleased
album, "Homegrown", Neil had about 10 friends over to listen
it. Apparently, "Tonight's The Night" just happened to be on
the same reel, and so they listened to it as well. After that
unexpected listening, Neil says that he decided to release
"Tonight's The Night" instead of "Homegrown" because of "its
overall strength in performance and feeling". (Crowe)
"Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown" was recorded live at the Fillmore
East in 1971 and it is a Danny Whitten/Neil Young composition.
"Tonight's The Night" is about Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry
(Crazy Horse roadie), who died of a drug overdose.
"Borrowed Tune" borrows the tune from the Rolling Stones' song "Lady
Jane" [PG].
When preparing "Tonight's The Night" for release, Neil went through
several different versions of the album. Here is the track listing
to one of the versions. It has a few currently unreleased songs in
it.
Tonight's the Night
Mellow My Mind
Roll Another Number
Tired Eyes
Speakin' Out
Walk On
For the Turnstiles
Bad Fog of Loneliness
New Mama

Notes: This supposedly is the track listing to the unreleased double

"Tie Plate Yodle #3" is not a song, but a bit of studio weirdness.
"Separate Ways" was recently played on Neil's tour with the Booker T
& the MGs.

This is an incredible collection of Neil Young's work. It includes
several songs that were previously unreleased. "Down to the Wire"
is on the unreleased Buffalo Springfield album _Stampede_. Dr. John
(Mac Rebennack) plays on "Down to the Wire". This is a must-have
for any Neil Young fan, not only for the song selection, but also
for Neil's hand-written liner notes.

pressed with this name and are very valuable nowadays.
"Motorcycle Mama" is a song Neil wrote after watching a woman in Ft.

Rufus Thibodeaux: fiddle
(**) Same musicians as above with Ben Keith & Ann Hillary O'Brien
providing harmony vocals
(*) Neil Young: vocals, guitars, harmonica
Levon Helm: drums
Tim Drummond: bass
Tom Seribner: saw
Notes: "Little Wing" is not the same as Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing."
Nikki Sudden & The French Revolution did an incredible cover of
"Captain Kennedy" on the album _The_Bridge_, which is a Neil Young
tribute album.
Levon Helm is from "The Band".
All of these songs are copyrighted 1980, except "Little Wing"
(C) 1975 and "The Old Homestead" (C) 1974. The difference in
dates and musicians indicates that "The Old Homestead" was
probably recorded in the mid 70's. Since "Little Wing" sounds
like Neil Young is going solo and it has a different date, it
too may have been recorded in the mid 70's.

(If You Got Love)* [-:--]
Produced by Neil Young, David Briggs and Tim Mulligan
Musicians:
Nils Lofgren, Ben Keith, Bruce Palmer, Ralph Molina,
Joe Lala, Frank Sampedro, Billy Talbot
(no instruments specified)
Notes: Contrary to most people's opinion, Neil Young says that this
is the other of his best two albums. Every song on this album,
except "Like An Inca" and "Little Thing Called Love", has Neil &
Nils singing through a Vocoder, which makes the voice sound like
a "computer voice."
Nils Lofgren is the guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E-Street
Band. Sonic Youth did a great cover of "Computer Age" on the
album _The_Bridge_.
There is a different version of "Like An Inca" and "Sample And
Hold" on the CD version of Trans. "Like An Inca" is actually
9:45 minutes long, instead of 8:08 as listed on the CD.
"Sample And Hold" is actually 8:04 minutes long, instead of
5:09 as listed on the CD. This same version of "Sample And
Hold" also appears on the "Lucky 13" compilation CD.
(*) Also, there was one song that didn't make it on TRANS, but
whose lyrics *did* appear on some liner notes, titled "If You
Got Love", which was an electric-based song about (you guessed
it) the tribulations encountered in another quest to find love.

Sample and Hold (1982, ??)
Neil Young
Sample And Hold (dance mix) [6:48]
Mr. Soul (dance remix) [5:53]
Sample And Hold (single version) [3:54]
Notes: This is a 12 inch vinyl maxi-single of Sample and Hold. The front
has the same picture of Neil in the "mirror guitar" as on the liner
of Trans.

Karl Himmel: snare
Larry Byrom: piano, backing vocals
Anthony Crawford: backing vocals
Rick Palombi: backing vocals
Notes: Only (*) are written or co-written by Young - others are covers of
rhythm'n'blues classics or semi-classics. The story is that Neil's
record company accused him of deliberately making a non-commercial
album (_Trans_) and forced him to make another one quickly (this
one). However, this story has not been confirmed. The song
"Wonderin'" was actually written by Neil in the late 60s, and has a
neat video for it. This is the other of Young's best albums,
according to him...

Silver and Gold
Notes: This supposedly is the track listing to the unreleased first
version of "Old Ways". This information has not been
officially released by Neil, so there is absolutely NO
guarantee that this information is correct. Some of this
material later appeared on the released version of "Old Ways",
as well as, "Everybody's Rockin'". This album was one of the
reasons that Geffen sued Neil in December of 1983.
"Old Ways" is much faster and very different sounding here.
"Depression Blues" made it onto Lucky 13.
"Depression Blues" and "Silver and Gold" were both recorded for the
"Harvest Moon" album.
"That's Alright Mama" was played a lot on the Solo Trans tour.

Notes: This is Neil Young's "country" album. Some of his other stuff
could be called near-country, but this is pure country. Neil
and the International Harvesters (his backup band) performed
several of these songs on the "Austin City Limits" TV show on
9/25/84, almost a year before the album was released [DGS]. In
fact, the track "California Sunset" is from the recording of
this performance [DGS].
(***) "The Wayward Wind" is written by Stan Lebowsky and
Herbert Newman [DGS]. It's something of a standard and
has been recorded by Patsy Cline among others [DGS].
There are several familiar names in the musician's list: Waylon
Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bela Fleck, Ben Keith, and Tim
Drummond. The first three are known country / bluegrass
musicians, and the last two appear on several other Neil Young
albums.
Waylon Jennings later recorded a cover version of "Are There Any
More Real Cowboys?".

Produced by "The Volume Dealers" (Neil Young & Niko Bolas)
Musicians: Neil Young: Vocals, Guitar
Chad Cromwell: Drums
Rick "The Bass Player" Rosas: Bass
Notes: This is a 25 min. EP. The story from Neil is that this was supposed
to be a full length album, but Neil was not happy with it. He was
afraid that since this was not a real "radio" album, he would get a
lot of sh*t about it. Also, he just wanted to be able to release
some new songs without having to promote them. So, he picked 5
songs to put on an EP and released the album only in Australia and
Japan. "Don't Cry", "On Broadway", and "Eldorado" also appear on
the fully released _Freedom_ album, but they are slightly different
versions. The other two songs are good, and are worth getting if
you ever find this disc. Neil says that if anyone really wants a
copy, they can tape it from a friend.

This was the album that provided much of the source material for
"Freedom" and the "Eldorado" EP. Side 2 (except for "Wrecking
Ball") is all very loud electric music. This album was so close to
release that copies were issued to radio stations before Neil pulled
back and decided to work on it some more. "Don't Cry" features the
more ragged mix used on "Eldorado". The only song from this album
not to show up on an official release is "Box Car". A wonderful,
slow low-key electric distortion based number.

-----
Arc (11/12/91, Reprise 26769)
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Arc [35:00]
Notes: This is total noise! (That's a description, not a value
judgement.) Neil took parts of songs from _Weld_ and put them
together into a single "song". It lasts about 35 min.
The idea for this album is said to have come from a movie that
Neil made during one of his late 80's / early 90's tours with
Crazy Horse. He basically used the beginnings and endings of
songs for the soundtrack of the movie. Neil gave Thurson Moore
of Sonic Youth a copy of it and he liked the musical bits so
much that he suggested to Neil that he should do a whole album
like that. The result? 'Arc.' [DGS]

Notes: This album is a pseudo-sequel to Neil's overwhelmingly successful
"Harvest" album. Most of the musicians on this album are the
same ones who performed on the original "Harvest". Spooner
Oldham, Astrid Young, and Larry Cragg are exceptions. Spooner
apparently took Jack Nitzsche's place on piano. Astrid Young
(Neil's half-sister) and Larry Cragg (Neil's guitar & keyboard
technician) are additional singers. The song "Old King" is
about Young's now-deceased pet dog (who was really named
Elvis), which accompanied him on tour everywhere.

Notes: This is the officially released recording of Neil's MTV Unplugged
performance. This performance was recorded at Stage 12, Universal
Studios, Universal City on Feb. 7, 1993. There were 5 more songs
recorded but not broadcast. The songs left off were: Tonight's The
Night (opening only, grand piano), Sample and Hold, Dreamin' Man,
War Of Man, and Winterlong. There is probably a boot of the entire
concert floating around somewhere. Also, some radio stations
broadcasted a stereo simulcast, so this may surface as a boot as well
- beware because you may be paying $20+ for something available
commercially.
There was an earlier Unplugged performance recorded on Dec. 16, 1992
at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, NY. Neil did several versions and false
starts of almost every song and finally scrapped the concert. The
songs he did are: Love Is A Rose, Unknown Legend, From Hank To
Hendrix, You and Me, Old King, Harvest Moon, War Of Man, Comes A
Time, Old Man, Silver and Gold, Are You Ready For The Country, One
Of These Days, Dreamin' Man, Down By The River, Last Trip To Tulsa,
and After The Goldrush (pump organ) (Waterface, et al. 44). It may
also be possible to find this performance on a bootleg.
Released with this CD are VHS and Laser Disc video recordings of the
show.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
[Note: If info credit is given to DGS in this section, this actually
means that David graciously collected this information from the
Neil Young mailing list and other sources. His list of Neil Young
session contributions is also available in the mailing list's FAQ,
and is basically the same information. This list is included here
just to make the discography more complete. The albums are
arranged by date, but when the date was unavailable, it was
simply guessed and the album ordered accordingly.]
[Note: Please remember that this information is not guaranteed to be 100%
correct. If you buy one of these albums just to hear Neil's
contribution and it turns out that he is not on the album, please
do not blame us.]

several songs. This album also includes a cover of "Helpless."
