Description

This is the first time that Neil Young's 1974's album, 'On The Beach', has been made available since the deletion of the original vinyl issue. It was the first studio album to be issued by Young after the commercial success of 1972's 'Harvest' (1972's 'Journey Through The Past' and 1973's 'Time Fades Away' were a soundtrack and a live album). Ben Keith who provided pedal steel on 'Harvest', appears here, as does Rusty Kershaw, who wasn't to record with young again until 1992's 'Harvest Moon'.
