Neil Young Releasing Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Reissue of ‘On the Beach’
The album originally dropped in 1974 and is regarded as one of Young’s greatest releases.
Acclaimed Canadian-American singer-songwriter Neil Young has announced a limited edition reissue of his classic album, On the Beach.
Arriving November 8 via Reprise, this new version of Young’s 1974 record will be available as a limited edition clear vinyl. You can pre-order a copy here.
Young’s fifth album was part of his "Ditch Trilogy" of albums and found the Godfather of Grunge looking inward and exploring feelings of alienation and loneliness.
On the Beach featured some high calibre collaborations, with Crazy Horse’s Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina, CSNY members Graham Nash and David Crosby and The Band’s Rick Danko and Levon Helm all appearing.

A short blurb on Young’s website about the album says: “On the Beach became a very special moment in the musical history of Neil Young. It was his fifth studio album, and was recorded with a stellar range of musicians, including Crazy Horse's rhythm section Billy Talbot (bass) and Ralph Molina (drums), along with other key players Ben Keith, Tim Drummond, Levon Helm (The Band), Rick Danko (The Band), Rusty Kershaw, David Crosby, Graham Nash and George Whitsell (The Rockets).
“Sessions were held at Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California and Sunset Sound in Hollywood, and there was a definite feeling of expanding elements of musical styles being added to the playbook.
“The songs range from ‘See The Sky About To Rain’ to ‘Ambulance Blues’, and explore the evolving counterculture in the 1970s in ways which had not been done. This was Young at his most adventurous, and pointed to several new musical directions for him, yet to be defined.
This new anniversary limited edition of On the Beach will be pressed on clear vinyl, with "50" added to the front cover to mark the passage of time.”
