Neil Young Reissuing Freedom, Ragged Glory, Weld, and Arc on Vinyl

The post Neil Young Reissuing Freedom, Ragged Glory, Weld, and Arc on Vinyl appeared first on Consequence .

Neil Young has announced four of his classic albums are receiving vinyl reissues. Freedom , Ragged Glory – Smell the Horse , Weld , and Arc will all be back in print on October 4th.

Notably, 1989’s Freedom includes “Rockin’ in the Free World,” which was played with Young’s permission while vice presidential nominee Tim Walz took the stage at DNC 2024 earlier this week. Ragged Glory was released the following year and has been expanded with four rare tracks for this reissue.

In 1991, Young put out Weld as a live album containing recordings of performances from his tour in support of Ragged Glory . Finally, Arc is a companion album to Weld featuring feedback, improvisation, guitar solos, and vocal fragments recorded during live shows.

These albums were first remastered for vinyl when they were collected together for Young’s Official Release Series Volume 5 box set (available for purchase here ) last summer.

Young also has his Archives Vol. III (1976 – 1987) box set coming on September 6th. Pre-orders are ongoing.

On September 21st, Young will headline Farm Aid 2024 alongside Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews. Get your tickets here .
