Remastered Japanese release in a miniature LP sleeve.

After working his way through loss and chaos on TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973 but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH, a liberating, cathartic, yet very melodic album that features Young and his band in fine form. This 1974 outing opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky About To Rain." The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. Inexplicably unreleased on CD until 2003, ON THE BEACH is unflinching and resilient, easily standing as one of Young's finest albums.
