2002 Comment: It will be a sad day if this is released. Who really wants to
see this great album mass produced on the shelves of HMV. Keep it for those
who have a real passion for neils work.
Name: Giles McClelland Country: U.K. Date:
Thu May 30 12:57:07 2002 Comment: I don't want On the Beach or any of the other
5 deleted albums mass released again. This is purely because at the moment these
records belong to the people who are really passionate about Neils work. If
you really want this album go to a good second hand record site and buy a nice
vinyl copy. You will treasure your copy. You honestly don't want to go into
HMV or Virgin and see 'On the Beach' or'time fades away' on the shelves do you?

Name: Martin Coburn Country: Republic of
Ireland Comment: (long message input by hand) Colin,
thank you for this excellent effort. Neil, I have been with you since 1967.
I well remember what you said in Slane, Ireland on July 10th '93. You said "What
I love about coming back to Ireland is when the people say 'Hello', they really
mean it." In ' 74 I lived without food for 4 days to buy my ticket to Wembley
that August. In ' 97 I travelled from my home in Drogheda to Saratoga Springs
and then on to Jones Beach for the show there. It is one of my most memorable
moments that I went across the Atlantic ocean to see and hear you. I have heard
it said Neil that you don't like CD's and you are reported as having said "CD's
fool the mind but leave the heart sad".I respect your opinion Neil and my view
is that, as far as I am concerned, in the performing art of music, nothing compares
with the sight and sound of Neil Young on a stage. Each show is unique, as is
each note you play, and each and every word you sing, and no format except the
raw live recording can capture this uniquesness. So what does it matter about
CD's? I did not enjoy the show at Jones Beach,LI on August 12th ' 97, and neither
did you Neil, you stopped playing ' Big Time', but I don't go to your shows
Neil only to enjoy myself, I go to BE in your presence, to experience the presence
of YOUR being, to have my share in ALL you have to offer: your sadness,gladness,
lonliness; your fear, guilt, inadequecy, your love, your hate, your joy, your
sorrow, to experience everything. All the people who have signed this petition
Neil just want to hear the music and I am delighted to join them. I am a great
believer in letting things happen, and there is a reason for everything and
until it happens I will just Carry On waiting, as I waited for 14 long years
to hear ' Country Home'. In the meantime I'll tell you what I want: I want you
to release ' On The Beach ' and the other 5 too. Thanks for listening Neil,
and thanks for everything else as well.

about CD!

and my friend who taped it for me put some Leo Sayer songs at the end of it.Aaaargh.....Every
time I sit back in reverie listening to Neil Young I have to leap up and turn
off the tape before the end as the Leo Sayer songs jolt me back into some horrible
80's fantasy.Help!!!!! CD me NOW!

May 23 00:34:57 2002 Comment: I am one of the lucky ones who has a friend who

May 21 17:01:08 2002 Comment: I bought the album back in 1974. I loved it then
and I still do. I mainly listen on tape so my vinyl's in pretty reasonable nick.
I recently burned a copy to CDR on my Philips stand-alone so I guess I'm sorted.
I wish everyone was.

Tue May 21 03:39:29 2002 Comment: Neil, I am listening to an old tape of 'On
the Beach'as I write this and I am afraid I will wear it out!! Don't release
it on vinyl as I can't get a stylus anymore for my old disc player. CD is the
only option! It is album of the year EVERY YEAR...don't deprive us of the opportunity
to immerse ourselves in its magic.

Date: Mon May 13 08:21:17 2002 Comment: I remember hearing CBC radio host David
Wisdom play this (a live version, I think) a few years ago and being blown away.
Also there's a busker here in Somerville, MA who's always playing it and I find
myself humming it all the time. Unfortunately I'm a loser who not only cannot
hum but doesn't even own a record player. Neil, I know you don't care about
losers like me, but we care about you, man. It's a great tune. I just thought
you should know.

from what I can hear. Walk On is fantastic and I really think you ought to consider
putting it out for the public to embrace. However, its your deal, and if you
have reasons for it, then that's all on you. I respect an artist who isn't putting
something out just for some extra income. Much love and peace, and I hope to
see you this summer in Central Pennsylvania All the best: Matthew

the album to an even higher status, causing fans to cherish this wonderful album
even more. This is not an excuse, just the facts. Why this album ever went out
of print is a mystery to me - I guess there's no acounting for the general public's
lack of taste. Anyway, my vinyl copy is getting worn out from taping it off
for friends as much as casual enjoyment. I hope it's true that Neil will release
