**** INCLUDES VERY RARE "NEIL YOUNG LP OVERVIEW" STICKER ON OUTSIDE OF THE CELLOPHANE. .......................................................................................................

Even though Bob Dylan's Biograph is considered to be the first box set, Neil Young’s Decade – the three-LP, career-spanning retrospective that came out on Oct. 28, 1977 – is in many ways is the FIRST of the type.

Before "Decade," which gathered songs from Young’s early days through his '70s solo albums, compilations were basically greatest-hits sets that collected a dozen or so of an artist’s most popular cuts. "The Decade" set wanted to tell a different  story. In essence, it’s a musical biography of Neil Young. All tracks contain exclusive tracking sequence and UNRELEASED gems!

Starting with "Down to the Wire," a previously unreleased Buffalo Springfield song,"Decade" traced Young’s development over his first 10 years. In addition to key album tracks ("Down by the River," "Cortez the Killer") and 7-inch-45rpm mixes "Cinnamon Girl," "Heart of Gold", the album includes songs Young recorded with both Crazy Horse and as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, rare "live tracks" and several other unreleased songs and different mixes.
Decade remains Young’s sturdiest oVerview LP, even though it covers less than a quarter of his career. Some of the songs aren’t available anywhere else, like a live B-side version of "Sugar Mountain" an edited "Soldier" and a more scorching alternate take of the American Stars ‘N Bars favorite "Like a Hurricane."

Young himself handpicked the songs on "Decade," which, for the most part, chronicled every step of his career at that point up till its release in 1977 and for over 40 years it’s served as the most complete document of Neil Young's most fertile period.
