Side 2 of OTB has long been one of my favorite suite of songs since it came
out. I dare not wear out my original vinyl copy. Also, the cover and insert
sleeve art make such a clever and cool design package. And ...just because my
problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away...
Name: Tony McCaulay Country: usa Date: Sat Apr 12 16:07:36 2003 Comment:
Please release On the Beach on CD. My vinyl version was nearly worn through
before my tuntable was retired. I must admit to buying a bootleg CD version
simply because I wanted to hear the music again. See the Sky About to Rain and
Ambulance Blues are two of my favorite Neil Young songs.
Name: Todd Anderson Country: US Date: Fri Apr 11 23:58:32 2003 Comment:
Release them all! (And don't knock CDs! Yeah, there are some lousey reissues,
but CDs far & away sound better than that crackling, popping vinyl ever did.
Keep in mind ... there are those out there who think 8-tracks sounded better
....)
Name: Brian Kennedy Country: Ireland Date: Fri Apr 11 20:00:25 2003
Comment: Possibly Neil's best album! Real ART! We need this released. My vinyl's
scratchy from overplaying and my CD copy of it brought the scratches with it
- but still played regularly!

Name: Dave Taylor Country: Canada Date: Thu Apr 10 16:37:15 2003
Comment: "See the Sky About To Rain" - How can a song this good not be released
on CD? How? Release it.
Name: Javier Rodriguez Country: Norway Date: Thu Apr 10 15:06:10
2003 Comment: Wake up, Neil!! On the Beach may be the finest release ever to

Comment: This is his best album, why isn't it out on CD???
Name: Michael Phillips Country: Canada Date: Thu Apr 10 06:35:02
2003 Comment: It just boggles my mind that this, arguably his greatest album,
hasn't been put on CD.
Name: robin robinson Country: usa Date: Wed Apr 9 23:04:20 2003 Comment:
when on the beach appeared, i heard "neil's had it; he's depressed, he's on
heroin, bad album, etc." glad i didn't listen. this is the one i would take
to the desert island. what else can i say- great, lasting, music.
Name: James Grosse Country: USA Date: Wed Apr 9 20:30:47 2003 Comment:
Neil - why are you depriving us???????????????
Name: Toad Country: U.S.A. Date: Wed Apr 9 09:14:52 2003 Comment:
I bought OTB when it first came out on cassete back in 1974. I was a young sailor
aboard a small ship in the middle of the Pacific. Next to "Everybody Knows This
Is Nowhere," I feel this is Neil's most soulful album ever made. This album
kept me connected to home while out on the vast sea. I respect Mr. Young's decision,
however, but I for one would feel honored to own it again, vinyl, tape, cd,
dvd, future medium, however. Thank you.
Name: Eddie Country: USA Date: Tue Apr 8 23:58:35 2003 Comment: I
WANT TO BUY THIS CD. I have a tape and it drags.
Name: Perry Nelson Country: USA Date: Tue Apr 8 22:13:41 2003 Comment:
I heard "On The Beach" just a couple years ago, couldn't believe I hadn't ever
heard of it before, my buddie was a hard core Neil Y. fan, he had the LP. Man,
what hoops o' fire I would jump through to get this on a CD !! Lov ya Neil baby!
Name: yasumi tanaka Country: japan Date: Tue Apr 8 18:10:10 2003
Comment: hope mr.young change his mind soon and let this great album in stores
again
Name: turningpoint Country: Austria Date: Tue Apr 8 17:39:50 2003
Comment: hmmm, never tried to hear the songs on this album backwards.... maybe
that would explain....
Name: Shirk Country: Austria Date: Tue Apr 8 17:23:47 2003 Comment:
I'm lucky enough to own OTB on bootleg CD but I'd happily pay my dues if the
album were released officially - although I'm afraid that we're all just pissing
in the wind.
Name: T Mac Country: USA Date: Tue Apr 8 06:45:12 2003 Comment: What
the hell,might as well.Put out the six,I needa fix.Got them on vinyl,lets make
it final.

Name: ron Country: australia Date: Tue Apr 8 05:20:50 2003 Comment:
please let the music be heard again thanx
Name: John Country: USA Date: Tue Apr 8 02:58:53 2003 Comment: Neil...
the DVDs you've already released sound great. We all own DVD players now, it's
safe to release TFA. With bands like Widespread Panic regularly covering Don't
Be Denied and Last Dance, a new generation of fans are being denied the original
versions of these songs. Every day on the Panic message board, someone posts,
"why can't I find the Neil Young version of these songs?" Isn't it time Neil?
How much longer? I promise to buy ANOTHER Lionel train set Neil... just release

Name: Lisa Country: USA Date: Tue Apr 8 02:51:27 2003 Comment: NEIL
- whatever you decide to do is fine with me. Don't get me wrong, I love you
man ! But I totally respect the way you only release good sounding shit ! Currently,
all your DVDs on the market have great dynamic range. They are some of the best
sounding DVDs we own. If someday you decide to release these CDs, I'll buy them.
But if you don't, I'll keep on rocking out to what I already own. Keep the music
coming! See you at Merriweather.
Name: Rod Country: Canada Date: Tue Apr 8 00:36:23 2003 Comment:
Heard this and other Neil when I was 8 and big brother was playing them on record.
Hated them then, but it's funny how things change!!!!

Time Fades Away too !
Name: Shawn Sanchez Country: USA Date: Mon Apr 7 16:31:17 2003 Comment:
Please release all of "the missing 6" on CD, they are excellent releases coveted
by your fans. I have all of them on LP, but none of these bought used LP's are
in very good shape. I wish they had better sound quality, but they are better
than nothing!
Name: Dieter Görlich Country: Germany Date: Mon Apr 7 11:01:10 2003
Comment: Please give us a release as perfect as possible on cd instead of limited
pirate copies from vinyl. "On the beach" is great and every songs on it deserves
to be released on cd!

Fri Apr 4 12:45:28 2003 Comment: I'm fairly new to Neil Young, but I'm trying
to gradually get all the important albums. From what I've read, this is meant
to be his best, so it is extremely frustrating!
Name: Mike Beck Country: New Zealand Date:
Fri Apr 4 04:27:28 2003 Comment: Much sought after record and almost impossible
to purchase in NZ. Would love to see (and hear) it re-issued on CD, or even
vinyl for that matter.

Wed Apr 2 17:16:38 2003 Comment: Not a day with at least a song of Neil (at
work, in the car, at home, on holidays...). I've got all the Neil's vinyls (and
CD of course), but it's too much hard to listen to them out of home. Please
Neil, hear us and thanks to come in Mai in France for your acoustic concert
