About Neil Young Archives (NYA)
Neil Young Archives is a playful vision of an artist’s archives and a utopian vision for artist-focused music streaming. On NYA you will find all of Neil’s music you’d expect to find—every studio album from Buffalo Springfield through Barn, every live album and compilation, a selection of important 45rpm singles—and a lot of music you might not expect—site-exclusive album outtakes and demos, unreleased and unedited live performances, bootlegs and archival released of shelved records—in crisp and intimate high resolution.* Another surprise for the uninitiated: streaming music is just the tip of the iceberg! The folders of NYA’s filing cabinet also contain original manuscripts, session documentation, tape boxes, record reviews and tour press, memorabilia and ephemera, every feature film and music video, photographs from across the span of Neil’s career and, if you’re willing to poke around to find them, dozens of treasures hidden in plain sight. It’s all a bit overwhelming—we’re trying to simulate walking the shelves, taking down boxes and flicking through folders holding Neil’s entire career, after all—but getting lost in the stacks is half the pleasure.
