The package collects 10 songs that showcase some of the most iconic originals by Neil Young, and several with contributions by guitarist Danny Whitten as part of Young's first band after the breakup of Buffalo Springfield.
When the Crazy Horse band first came together in 1969, it featured Danny Whitten (guitar and vocals), Ralph Molina (drums and vocals), Billy Talbot (bass and vocals) and Jack Nitzsche (keyboards, Tambourine and vocals).
It was a band that was immediately spoken of with high excitement, and allowed Young's new original songs to find an open runway for taking off new directions. Their early lives shows immediately set a new standard for rock & roll groups, and with Young's new original songs like "Dance Dance Dance," "Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown," "Cinnamon Girl" and "Down by the River," the aggregation immediately took on a fevered following across America and beyond.
The 2024 package delivers Young with Crazy Horses' earliest recordings, including several original versions that have not been released before, and along with the 7-inch Mono mix that was released in 1970 that includes a guitar outro not on LP version not on original LP version.
This collection includes unreleased versions of "Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown," "Winterlong," "Wonderin’," and more, along with the original 7" mono mix of "Cinnamon Girl."
