Neil Young's Archives Blu-ray collection back on for February 2009?

Hop back on the Neil Young roller coaster folks, this one's still spinning. The on-again / off-again nature of this release is becoming somewhat of a joke, but after hearing that the Blu-ray version of Archives Volume 1 (1963 - 1972) would likely be axed, HighDefDigest has it that the BD audio collection is back on track. Reportedly, it now touts a tentative street date of February 24 through Warner Music Group. If the set ever launches, it will undoubtedly be a beast: ten discs, over 128 tracks and the full-length documentary "Journey Through the Past." You could always spin the delay into a positive -- you know, considering that you'll probably need everyday between now and then to scrounge up the $431.99 (MSRP) it'll take to make it yours.

Stop being a retard Darren. Maybe you should read comments of the people who actually read the articles. One guy told you too, and the last article about it being axed had this to say about the blu-ray being axed:

"The bad: Young's endlessly delayed "Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)" is officially pushed back to some point in 2009. Young has waffled about whether the project will only be available on Blu-ray and DVD or whether there will be CDs sold; the latest word from Reprise is that "Archives" will be Blu-ray only."

Amazon has a listing for a DVD version, but it's only about $20 cheaper.

Hey spiza, no reason to call Darren a "retard." It's an extremely demeaning and hurtful word to people with special needs. People screw up and make mistakes. Calling them a third grade name doesn't flatter yourself.
