This is the first volume of the Neil Young Archives series of box sets, produced by Neil Young himself. Volume I covers the period from his earliest recordings with The Squires in Winnipeg, 1963, through to his classic 1972 album Harvest and beyond, including studio and live tracks with the legendary Buffalo Springfield; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and Neil Young with Crazy Horse.

Audio in the Blu-ray edition is presented in ultra-high resolution 24-bit / 192 kHz stereo PCM state-of-the-art master quality sound, while audio in the DVD edition is presented in high resolution 24-bit / 96 kHz stereo PCM audiophile quality sound. The CD edition is presented in standard resolution 16-bit / 44 kHz stereo PCM CD quality sound.

Each of the 10 Blu-ray discs feature 1920x1080 high definition picture quality while the 10 DVD discs have 720x480 standard definition picture quality.

July 25, 2009: If you listened to early Neil on scratchy old vinyl you owe it to yourself to hear the cleaned up Blu-Ray version on a modern digital audio system - WOW. Sure this set's pricey (although with the member deals you can get it for about half the list price) but you'll be transported back to a time where listening to a new album (yes, ALBUM) was a sacred experience. Many might kvetch over the lack of visuals, but personally I got a kick out of the little touches Neil put in the "still life" shots - vintage audio gear, the fishnet candle holder, etc. - very much suited to the period.

I am most intrigued by the idea of the future downloads - the main reason to invest in BD as opposed to the DVD format. Can't wait to see what Neil has up his sleeve for Vol 2. :-)
