Neil Young Drops Four Key '90s Classic Titles

VINYL AND CD EDITIONS FROM HIS OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES (ORS) VOL.6 AVAILABLE NOW VIA REPRISE RECORDS

May 22, 2026 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, Neil Young returns to his Official Release Series (ORS) with the next installment of four classic titles from the 1990s. Last September we released the CD and vinyl box sets for ORS Vol 6: Discs 26, 27, 28 & 29 comprised of HARVEST MOON, UNPLUGGED, SLEEPS WITH ANGELS and MIRROR BALL  Today on May 22, each of these titles are available now as individual vinyl and CD editions via Reprise Records.  

Each of these seminal 90s-era albums will feature the original, historically accurate artwork and will be reissued on double vinyl LPs, while the CDs will remain as single discs.

As MIRROR BALL is an analog recording, the album has been remastered from the original analog masters by John Hanlon and Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Additionally, four of the tracks have been remixed in analog by John Hanlon, as the originals were from digital mixes ("I'm The Ocean", "Big Green Country", "Truth Be Known", "Throw Your Hatred Down")

HARVEST MOON (ORS Disc 26), originally released in 1992, helped open a new decade of Young’s music with what would become instant new classics like the title track "Harvest Moon," "From Hank to Hendrix," and "One of These Days," songs which quickly became fan favorites and one of the most beloved albums in his recorded output. 

UNPLUGGED (ORS Disc 27), originally released in 1993, was first recorded for an MTV Unplugged concert, along with additional live recordings. Young thoughtfully assembled a group of musicians he had recorded with over the years for this special aggregation that quickly became a collector's item as tapes were first shared from the show among his fans. The official live album is considered an acoustic one-of-a-kind release from Young’s 90’s canon. 

SLEEPS WITH ANGELS (ORS Disc 28), originally released in 1994, is an album that wrote its own legend when released. Including the 14-minute song "Change Your Mind”, it had a distinctiveness with Crazy Horse that Young achieved by keeping the sessions as spontaneous and immediate as possible allowing the tracks to breathe and come to life in real time. This albumwas the last album to be produced by Young’s long-time collaborator David Briggs, who passed away in 1995 at age 51, which also brings a special meaning to these recordings.  

All formats available at the Neil Young Archives Store only at Neil Young Archives (NYA) and music retailers everywhere and most DSPs.

    Thanks Michael! I really enjoy these videos. Do you know the story of the Absolute Analogue label? There’s no information about the label on Discogs, or anywhere else that I can find. I have several of their releases - both Miles Davis, both Mott The Hoople, and Stevie Ray Vaughan Couldn’t Stand The Weather. They all sound amazing! I’m wondering if it was just a case of bad timing? Looks like they only released 10 titles. The late ‘90s and early 2000s was a not a good time for vinyl.

    Obviously the non Mirrorball albums were recorded and mastered digitally (possibly 16/44) but given the 2 x LP format, should offer greater bandwidth and dynamic range. Presumably everything is being cut by Chris Bellman?
