Liner Notes
The reluctance of an artist to reissue his own work can tell you everything about where his head was at the time. Young recorded these performances in the immediate shadow of "Harvest," while his personal life was unraveling, and the rawness you hear isn't production grit, it's something more truthful. Decades out of print by Young's own choice, its belated availability makes it one of the more fascinating documents in a catalog full of them.
Time Fades Away - the first live album released by Neil Young was recorded in 1973 on a tour with The Stray Gators. Released in October 1973, it was the follow-up to Neil’s hugely successful, multi-platinum album Harvest and many of the musicians who played on Harvest appear on this album. Although acclaimed by fans and critics, Neil was reportedly unhappy with the album and after its initial release on vinyl it remained out of print for decades. The album was finally released on CD for the first time (& remastered for vinyl) in 2017 as part of the Official Release Series 5-8 Box Set. Produced by Neil Young and Elliot Mazer the album includes such great Young songs as “Journey Through The Past,” “Don’t Be Denied,” “Love in Mind” and the title track.
