Jul 31 08:52:14 2000 Comment: As well as On The Beach, I think that Tranformer
Man [despite the outakes on Lucky 13] and RE/ACTOR should also be put on CD..two
fabulous pieces of music confined to boxes in our attics, because ...like On
The Beach..we don't have the turntable to play them. Bought On The Beach, as
I did all Neil "albums/LPs" when I was still living in Scotland...loved it then
and still have it, but not been able to play it for so long because, like so
many folk, I don't have a turntable that works. Over the years I have religiously
searched for The Beach, on my visits to record/CD stores around the world..but
did not realize the reason for ot not being available until I visited this site.
So "thanks" for giving me the opportunity to sign your petition.

Mon Jul 31 05:38:18 2000 Comment: It is a crime that such a classic album is
unavaliable. If Neil is unhappy with the transfer to CD sonics then why not
just reissue on vinyl. WE WANT ON THE BEACH NOW OR ELSE NAPSTER WILL SATISFY
THE URGE FOR THIS BRILLIANT EFFORT

Mon Jul 31 02:23:20 2000 Comment: Neil, please release 'On The Beach' on CD,
it is the greatest album of all time. Your singing and playing is different
to the rest of your stuff, I guess its just blues of a different colour. I know
where you were at in 74. Do it in 2000.

I would pay dearly for a CD release. PLEASE, Neil !!!
Name: Aaron Wagner Country: USA Date: Sun
Jul 30 22:34:00 2000 Comment: I would LOVE to see Neil's entire back catalogue
re-released. I'm too young to remember albums like "On the Beach. I was born
in '74, so I've never heard it. Neil's music insspires me to listen and write.
I WANT MORE!!!!!

back "On the Beach"
Name: Eric Country: Germany Date: Sun Jul
30 18:33:06 2000 Comment: The cover of "On the Beach" reminds me of a place
in Denmark: Lakolk on the beautiful island of Romo, where they have an Autostrand
(drive-in beach). I don´t know if this is common in the US where almost everything
exists in the drive-in format, But the cover photograph shows us what it looks
like when a car gets stranded there. :-) Reissue it!
Name: matt Country: usa Date: Sun Jul 30
18:02:39 2000 Comment: I want On the Beach!! I wasn't even alive in 74, and
so I stood no chance of getting it. And I'd also like to get all those other
lost Neil albums, Re-ac-tor is another biggie. Please!
Name: Don Carman Country: Canada Date: Sun
Jul 30 16:11:04 2000 Comment: On the Beach is a personal favorite for some 25
years. I have a well used vinyl copy that was bought when re-released somewhere
around 1978. It is getting just a little tired and I would love to have either
new vinyl or cd. Same goes for Reactor.
Name: john zebrowski Country: U.S.A. Date:
Sun Jul 30 13:16:44 2000 Comment: Not only "on the beach",but the rest of the
missing albums as well- stars&bars,time fades away,hawks&doves,reacter,(although
journey through the past soundtrack sucked from the begining,i hope the movie
would be realeased soon on v.h.s.&d.v.d. as well as "muddy tracks".also,a compillation
of all of neils music videos would be nice since most of them are rarely ever
shown.

Name: Chris Tanner Country: Australia Date:
Sun Jul 30 10:24:46 2000 Comment: Yea, this one will do for starters Neil. However
us collectors are still missing a few others in the CD format. Hell I'm thinking
o' selling half my other artist cd's just so that I can afford the archieves.
And hey Neil I think you should of told me before I quit my vinyl collection.
Cheers mate..........Chris "down-under"

great album. I have the vinyl copy from the releasedate, so to rest him from
ruiing it please let de CD come out.
Name: Wayne Makela Country: Date: Sat Jul
29 15:05:48 2000 Comment: Obstinate: stubborn, headstrong, stiff-necked, bullheaded,
pigheaded, mulish, dogged, pertinacious, implies unreasonable rigidity. Neil,
how about releasing OTB and the others on vinyl (if you insist)as a benefit
for The Bridge? We are wasting lots of precious time trying to find what apparently
cannot be found.
Name: Roland Country: Canada Date: Sat Jul
29 00:35:41 2000 Comment: The release of this album on CD is long overdue.

hear this outstanding piece of work on cd.
Name: Chris Kissell Country: USA Date: Fri
Jul 28 18:20:12 2000 Comment: I would love to see Neil re-release this fine
record, but ONLY if it's on Vinyl or SACD. I agree with Neil that CDs are a
travesty - it's not just that the sound is inferior to analog, it's that it's
altogether different. 16-bit digital sound can briefly hold your interest, but
it doesn't transport you into the magical realm of art the way analog does.
So, I reluctantly sign this petition, but only conditionally. Those who buy
a CD version of "On the Beach" will be entertained for a few

Name: Dave Green Country: USA Date: Fri
Jul 28 05:11:29 2000 Comment: When I first heard On the Beach last summer, I
asked, "Why don't I own everything Neil Young has ever done?" This a near perfect
album, by far the finest of the "missing 6". Release 'em all!

Name: EF Country: USA Date: Fri Jul 28 02:43:53
2000 Comment: Thank you for posting these MP3, so I can burn my own On The Beach
until Neil sees the light. I actually just bought OTB and also Time Fades Away
on used vinyl for this exact reason. Great LPs, and it's just sick that Hawks
and Doves is also unavailable. C'mon Neil -- make honest men and women of us!!!!
Name: Larry Ellett Country: USA Date: Fri
Jul 28 00:48:26 2000 Comment: Lucky enough to have the album and a turntable

Name: Will Farah Country: US Date: Thu Jul
27 06:20:49 2000 Comment: One of the best . . . should have Time Fades Away
out as well, with the electric "Last Trip to Tulsa" as bonus track. And maybe
"Pushed it Over the End" as a bonus track to the On the Beach reissue . . .
but now I'm dreaming . . . guess those seagulls are still out of reach.

Name: Jerry Gillespie Country: United States
Date: Wed Jul 26 19:26:04 2000 Comment: Time Fades Away, Tonight's The Night,
and On The Beach have always been among my favorite Neil Young Albums. I own
all three on vinyl but no longer possess a turntable. Please re-release these
three wonderful albums in order that I might once again enjoy them. When I was
a teenager I learned to play all of the songs on these albums. Now I would like
to be able to teach them to my children. And besides, the Dead are still releasing
Dick's Picks, and Jerry and Dick have passed on (John Kahn too),

25 20:19:57 2000 Comment: Well, I was lucky to find a copy of On The Beach on
vinyl last year so at least I got it. And I got Hawks and doves and Re-ac-tor
on a bootleg cd. I also got American stars on vinyl. But still I haven't found
Time Fades Away, so please release the albums on cd or something. I sure would
buy them.
Name: david slutzky Country: usa Date: Tue
Jul 25 18:21:08 2000 Comment: The last vinyl lp I bought was "Freedom." I then
reluctantly entered the cd age. The first cd I looked for was "On the Beach."
It got me through high school and beyond more so than any other Neil release.
I don't know if it's the social commentary of "Ambulance Blues" and "For the
Turnstiles," the disillusionment and need to get out of town of "On the Beach,"
the straight ahead beat of "Walk On," the mood of "See the Sky About to Rain,"
or the fact that the first song I played to my wife on guitar when we got engaged
over ten years ago was "Motion Pictures." Neil, "On the Beach" is your freakin'
"Abbey Road." If you don't want to put it out by itself, put it out as part
of the Archives box. Looking forward to it.

Tue Jul 25 17:20:13 2000 Comment: My favourite artist but I've never heard "On
the Beach" which is total b.s.I've spent close to $1000.on Neil-related stuff
so the least he could do is allow me to plop down another $20.to hear this thing.If
it's OK to release almost all his other stuff on CD then why he has a problem
with releasing his other 6 is beyond me.DVD-audio - give me a break !!! Let's
all spend $$ thousands more to replace our recently bought CD'S !!! Neil - If
you think CD's sound crap buy an 12-band equalizer or a new (snipped by the
software)

with "Reactor" "Hawks and Doves" and "Time Fades Away". All appeared on the
Reprise label. If it was Geffen I could understand. David Geffen has never appreciated
artistic integrity. Until the day comes I am thankful for my turntable.

Name: peter dees Country: Holland Date:
Tue Jul 25 10:21:06 2000 Comment: On the Beach is one of the weariest, saddest
records ever made. When I was 16, I had it on tape (oops, was that legal then?)
but never played it. How can you enjoy a sky about to rain at that age? Now
I feel its as intense a record Neil has ever made, showing his talent in a glorious
way: the best harmonica playing, the best one-note guitarsolo, the best pianoplaying,
and last but not least: the best side men apart from the Horse! Long live Rusty
Kershaw, remember Rick Danko

Name: Paul Grieves Country: Australia Date:
Tue Jul 25 07:23:31 2000 Comment: Why was on the beach taken off the beach?
Was it too windy? Was the sky really about to rain? or are the seagulls still
out of reach? All artists make decisions about "Who they are and what they want
to be" Whatever happens i`ll be interested to see!!

An essitial part of music history may be lost for the future. It's one of the

want very much for Neil to re-release it. Please Neil, whatever your reasons
for pulling this and other music, we won't be around forever. Let us enjoy all
your music while we can. I named my first born after you! He's eight and loves
your music too. I'd love to have all your recordings for him to enjoy as well.
Please!

Norway Date: Mon Jul 24 14:06:54 2000 Comment: It's a shame this wonderful album
is not available for the world. I think the best rock & roll ballad ever made
is on this record. "See the sky about to rain" I have the vinyl-edition, but
it is not as good as new. I played it alot back i 1975, and almost "broke it
down in middle".

it blew me away. It's funny I graduated from High School IN '74 but never bought
the album( I was a fan but didn't buy albums. Well I wished I had and it's my
favorite. I do wish Neil would release it but only in the best possible technology.
This is too great an album to be released any other way( he should of never
released any of his classics anyway). Let's hope the technology comes soon.
