Nov 30 13:12:51 2002 Comment: for the turnstiles features some of the most controlled
tasty slide work i have heard,having given my entire vinyl collection to my
son,to my horror i can`t replace loads of it r.crumb and on the beach for example.we
have been conned by the recording industry these cd`s are cheap crap and that
is what they sound like(if you could actually hear crap)but there you go,i`ve
turned 50 and turned into my dad

Date: Fri Nov 29 22:21:05 2002 Comment: I had this album on vinyl until it 'dissapeared'
one day. A thousand garage sales and vinyl trade days later where my timing
has been slightly off because some other lucky soul has "just bought it'...
and I'm still searching. A new release of one of Neil's (many) finest hours
would be awesome.

Name: Pat Carty Country: Ireland Date: Thu
Nov 28 14:39:28 2002 Comment: As good as, if not better than, Tonight's the
Night. I'm sure Neil has his reasons as it sounds like a personal, painful record,
but I went through a lot of pain listening to Trans so this should be released
as payback for that alone.
Name: Michael Roche Country: USA Date: Thu

without the 'atmospheric' legacy of worn-out vinyl.
Name: Simon Malia Country: UK Date: Tue
Nov 26 12:02:36 2002 Comment: I know Neil doesn't want this album "ruined" by
digital transfer - BUT it's far too important to remain in the domain of the
few who cling to vinyl.
Name: Mike Twiggs Country: UK Date: Tue
Nov 26 10:44:46 2002 Comment: Please Neil......................
Name: Scott Lane Country: USA Date: Tue
Nov 26 06:59:13 2002 Comment: This is one sought after album, CD whatever.....
I don't understand why he doesn't want to release it, unless he feels it would
tarnish his image...?
Name: Earl Logan Country: Canada Date: Tue
Nov 26 00:57:25 2002 Comment: Online petitions rule! Neil Young is the king
of the planet known to we humans as earth. Walk on is a killer song! Giver on
ON THE BEACH. How 'bout it?
Name: grant duffort Country: U.K Date: Mon
Nov 25 16:15:18 2002 Comment: By not releasing on the beach the mystique carries
on, gives the music an added vibe, you can get a decent bootleg c.d anyway if
you look harn enough.

Iceland Date: Sun Nov 24 18:17:42 2002 Comment: Being new to Neil, I've been

to enjoy On The Beach; unfortunately, can't take in car for road trips to Neil
shows. Help me out Neil!
Name: M.M.G. Country: Canada Date: Fri Nov
22 21:47:43 2002 Comment: This is truly one of the best albums ever recorded.
What makes me sad is that this sits on the shelf while Neil has said many times
that Tonight's The Night is his most lasting work. Wait, why am I saddened by
this? Because ON THE BEACH is the undeniable COMPANION OF TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!
FREE THE ON-THE-BEACH EIGHT!!! matthew

21 21:49:14 2002 Comment: it's quite possible that neil thinks this album is
shit, or he's not happy with the production. perhaps he's embarassed by the
lyrics or whatever. anyways, i don't understand why it isn't available even
on vinyl....i bought "tonight's the night" brand new on vinyl just the other
day. as well, why does he bother releasing crap like "are you passionate" at
all? he'll put out shit new albums, but withhold the good stuff......nice work,
Neil.

Name: Martin Hill Country: Unied Kingdon
Date: Fri Nov 15 18:43:09 2002 Comment: I think it is selfish. The fact he doesn't
like CD's makes no sense. Why release all his other records? He says MP3s are
rubbish yet forces us to use them. So full of hypocracy...
Name: dan martin Country: Canada Date: Thu

in Boise to record OTB for me, but his stereo has a channel out. Neil, I know
you don't like the digital one dot two dot deal and prefer true analog recording,
but come on man, this site shows you that alot of us are dying for another taste
of these most soulful tunes!

release the missing link On the Beach. I listened to it once in 1990. Will I
get the chance to listen to it a second time? marc

12 21:55:31 2002 Comment: mr young, i am a 50 year old, black, ex-american.
i've been in your home country since '68 and have called it home for a long
time. this only matters because on the beach was part of my becoming who i am
today. when i was dealing w/ all those demons re: civil rights, viet nam, marriage,
children, mortality, etc., on the beach quite often was the backround music.
I had no idea that you didn't want the record re-released until I put the title
into a search engine and found this site. Previousl

Nov 8 10:19:12 2002 Comment: The book "MOJO:The Greatest Albums of All Time",
a British release, has "On the Beach" as one of those albums. I do believe that
N. Young will release this and others in due time as he will the behemoth box
set that an issue of Rolling Stone had mentioned awhile back. Thanks (Unfortunately
still no sign of either... Col)

Nov 7 23:19:05 2002 Comment: Okay, if you only want real fans to get this, set
up a system that you must bring an 8 track, tape or album to show you owned
the orginal. Thus you are entilted to a CD copy. Same can be said for the rest
of the missing 6. (What about those who weren't born
at the time?... Col)

I would challenge neil young to sit in a room and detect the difference between
a CD and a normal album. He would fail. (I wouldn't
be so sure about that... I can tell the difference... I'm sure Neil could too...Col)
