CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG - DÉJÀ VU – IN MINT CONDITION GATEFOLD JACKET - SIMPLY ONE OF THE RAREST CLASSIC RECORDS PRESSING TREMENDOUSLY RARE LONG OUT OF PRINT LP. Rated the 61st best LP of all-time -
After 3 years of searching for the original master tape they have succeeded in reissuing the definitive LP version of the 1970 CSNY blockbuster recording with the following features: Cut from the original two-track analog masters; mastered by Bernie Grundman using his all-tube cutting system; pressed on proprietary Quiex Super Vinyl Profile and packaged in an authentic leatherette jacket reproduction.
Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's (singing hit song, "Carry On",) former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best trio. With classics like "Almost Cut My Hair" DÉJÀ VU is teeming with early '70s FM staples, including "Helpless," "Teach Your Children," , the hit "Woodstock" (penned by Joni Mitchell) , "Our House" and much more.

NEIL YOUNG LIVE AT MASSEY HALL - CLASSIC RECORDS TREMNDOUSLY RARE AND LIMITED OUT OF PRINT 200 GRAM Sealed 2 LP SET
Pressed on 200 gram vinyl
"...a musical and sonic treat Young fans would be foolish to pass up. Surely this won't be in-print forever, so get it while you can! Live recordings don't get much better than this." Music = 10/11; Sound = 11/11 - Michael Fremer, musicangle.com
Our Highest Recommendation! INCREDIBLE Sound and Music!
Given an "official" release by Young's planned-archive series, this follow-up to his Live at the Fillmore East (featuring Crazy Horse) is an all-acoustic, solo outing from January 1971. Only 25 years ago, and with the highs (and lows) of the Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y and three solo albums under his belt, Neil went home to Canada and delivered a majestic set of just voice and either flat-top guitar or piano. Bootlegged recordings of this tour are infamous among fans and have been passed around for decades. The official mix from his personal tapes is a Godsend, positioning the listener front row center, catching a budding rock legend in his early prime. Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from analog master tapes prepared by John Nowland at Neil's Ranch and pressed on 200-gram vinyl.

FILLMORE 1970 - Pressed on 200 gram vinyl by CLASSIC RECORDS!
The first release from Neil Young’s long awaited Archive Performance series is Live At The Fillmore East. In 2006, Neil Young delivered another hit album, Living With War, and toured with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Thirty-six years earlier, in 1970, Young toured with CSN&Y and released his platinum album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, after which he performed a series of shows at New York City’s then-new Fillmore East with his band Crazy Horse. That concert finally made its official debut in the annals of rock history with Live At The Fillmore East, and the circle is unbroken for one of rock’s greatest singer-songwriters. The original release charted Top 15 and three Grammy® nominations, including for Best Rock Album, and the music is now available on vinyl.
Live At The Fillmore East includes an extended “Down By The River” and a 16-minute “Cowgirl In The Sand” (which has previously appeared only on a ’90s import). Country barnburner “Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown” would later be heard on 1975’s Tonight’s The Night live album.
Mastered and cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood from analog master tapes prepared by John Nowland at Neil Young’s studio, this vinyl package features one 200g heavyweight black-vinyl disc in a Stoughton jacket.
Features:
• 200gm Vinyl LP
• Stoughton Gatefold Jacket
Selections:
1. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
2. Winterlong
3. Down By The River
4. Wonderin’
5. Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown
6. Cowgirl In The Sand
NEIL YOUNG PRAIRIE WIND Pressed on 200 gram vinyl 2 LP SET by CLASSIC RECORDS!
Prairie Wind is an adventure akin to taking a drive through one's own life stopping off to revisit old friends and loved ones along the way. For Neil Young fans this album delivers songs that instantly stick in your mind as familiar. Tunes like "Falling Off The Face Of The Earth" and "The Painter" evoke thoughts of introspection that remind us of our humanity and its ultimate fragility. "No Wonder" feels like a early 70's anthem applied to more recent events while "Far From Home", with its bluesy harmonic interludes and horn accompaniment, tells a story of fond reminiscence of childhood and growing up.
"It's A Dream" incites one to confront how fleeting our surroundings are and ,in a sense, the desire to have them remain as more than "just a memory without anywhere to stay". The title track weaves the same bluesy harmonica and horn section with a group backup singers to create an eerie and evocative scene. Neil Young has created in "Here for You" possibly the ultimate love song with a pace and harmonica rifts reminiscent of Bob Dylan in the mid 60's if he'd been in Nashville.
"This Old Guitar" is a masterful story of life that is impossible not to relate to in one way or another and features a great backing vocal from Emmy Lou Harris making this tune even more special. "He Was King" is clearly a tribute to Elvis which harkens back to an easier time. The final track "When God Made Me" asks the questions about our humanity we all ponder at some time in our lives. This is an album, dedicated to his father that Neil Young made for himself, his friends and family and is giving, as a gift, to the rest of us. We can all benefit from the insights contained here and possibly gain some important perspectives on life - thanks Neil.
Classic Records, in cooperation with Reprise Records and Neil Young are proud to present "Prairie Wind" as a Deluxe 2 LP gatefold edition. Included is an 18 page 12" x 12" booklet with lyrics and photos printed with soy based inks on paper that is from sustainable forests and Rain Forest Alliance certified. The LP mastering and cutting was done at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood by Chris Bellman using the original 1/2" analog master tapes with plating and pressing on Classic's proprietary 200g QUIEX Super Vinyl Profile at RTI. The sound is, to put it bluntly, without compare and sets a new standard for sonic achievement. Is this Grammy worthy? You bet it is. As an added bonus, side 4 of the set is an interview with Neil discussing guitars, equipment, music, musicians and musical arrangers among others things. Not to be missed!

Pressed on 200 gram vinyl by CLASSIC RECORDS! LIVING WITH WAR IN THE BEGINNINGS
A stripped-down, unpolished version of 2006’s Living With War, with choir and overdubs having been jettisoned, delivers an even more powerful, jacked-up conduit of the message. Recorded live in the studio in only two weeks with sparse musical support, it’s hardly subtle themes and lyrics (Let’s Impeach The President) are Young’s personal shock and awe, commenting, as he had swiftly done on the 1969 Kent State killings (“Ohio”), on the political turmoil in the U.S. and it’s war on terrorism. The original version fanned the flames and both doves and hawks were glad when it faded from the news. This new version is bound to keep the heat up for some time.
Mastered and cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood from the original demo mix master tapes gives this compendium edition a rawer, more edgy sound - similar to other recent NY releases. Additionally, all new gatefold artwork makes this package a natural, “must have” alternate version of the first release of “Living With War” in 2006. ALL Classic / Reprise Neil Young vinyl issues including LWW...In the Beginning, are pressed only on Classic’s proprietary 200g Super Vinyl Profile. Don’t even hesitate – just buy it!

Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the July 2009 Issue of Stereophile!
Excuse me, is this 1969, during the time when Rock bands released an album every nine to twelve months and they were all great? Last summer Neil Young recorded what will likely be remembered as one of his best albums ever in "Prairie Wind" and then eight months later delivers a new protest album that will make, even the most conservative thinkers, rethink the state of the world. Maybe it takes the wisdom of time and experience to drill down to the heart of issues these days instead of the open mindedness of youth as in the past. It isn't one of the newer bands on the scene shining a light on the ugly side of human nature, they are all trying to sell a million records ( make that five million records) so that they buy that house in the Hills. Instead it is the old man of ROCK AND ROLL that delivers the familiar one two punch that makes people question the course we are on. Regardless of your politics, "Living With War" will rock your world and hit a chord that needs to be struck.
These sessions were recorded on 16 track analog tape and mixed to 1/2 inch analog two track master. Cut from the original 1/2 inch analog master tapes at Bernie Grundman mastering in Hollywood with Neil's direction.

The album also introduced his associated band, Crazy Horse.
Released just four months after Young's solo and self-titled debut, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is a much more confident, less-restrained, livelier set. Much of the credit for that style change of course goes to Crazy Horse, the Los Angles trio previously known as The Rockets of Danny Whitten (guitar), Ralph Molina (drums) and Billy Talbot (bass). The band fuels Young on a looser, guitar-heavy approach.
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere went Gold within a year-and-a-half of its release and has since gone Platinum.

Higher price of Harvest due to meticulous recreation of original jacket.
A quadruple Platinum No. 1 smash and the best-selling album of 1972, Harvest was Neil Young's fourth solo effort. With the Gold No. 1 "Heart Of Gold," Top 40 "Old Man," powerful "The Needle And The Damage Done," controversial "A Man Needs A Maid" and "Southern Man" companion "Alabama," Harvest won inclusion in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums Of All Time."
Deceptively laid-back-sounding country-rock plaints like "Out On The Weekend" and the title cut caress the ear unassumingly, pulling you into the more ominous subtext that is present in the rollicking "Are You Ready For The Country." As always, Young has an ear for contrasts, laying down heavy rock ("Alabama") besides his balladry, and even employing the London Symphony Orchestra on the excellent confessional "A Man Needs A Maid." Due to back troubles, Young recorded much of this material while wearing a brace, a fact that seems audible in the tension and unease that underlies the friendly, acoustic surface of this superb release.

Once inside the our wherehouse we then protectively seal the title in a loose re-sealable plastic cover to ensure the quality of the product. This title is brand new & never played condition. In the 15 months between the release Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After the Gold Rush, Neil Young issued a series of recordings in different styles that could have prepared his listeners for the differences between the two LPs. His two compositions on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album Deja Vu, Helpless and Country Girl, returned him to the folk and country styles he had pursued before delving into the hard rock of Everybody Knows; two other singles, Sugar Mountain and Oh, Lonesome Me, also emphasized those roots. But Ohio, a CSNY single, rocked as hard as anything on the second album. After the Gold Rush was recorded with the aid of Nils Lofgren, a 17-year-old unknown whose piano was a major instrument, turning one of the few real rockers, Southern Man (which had unsparing protest lyrics typical of Phil Ochs), into a more stately effort than anything on the previous album and giving a classic tone to the title track, a mystical ballad which featured some of Young's most imaginative lyrics and became one of his most memorable songs. But much of After the Gold Rush consisted of folk-country love songs, which consolidated the audience Young had earned through his tours and recordings with CSNY; its dark yet hopeful tone matched the tenor of the times in 1970, making it one of the definitive singer/songwriter albums, and it has remained among Young's major achievements.

Thirty years after Neil Young's original 1977 Chrome Dreams recording – an album that was surprisingly shelved by the record company – Young recaptures the fire and diversity of that period. Drawing from three songs written previously and seven new songs, the latest Neil Young includes a wide mix. Acoustic, electric, aggressive, melodic – it's all that and more. Young, with a backing band that includes Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina, bassist Rick Rosas and pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith, jams through 10 numbers, including two monster tracks that time out at 18:30 and 13:00. Chrome Dreams II is Young's seventh studio album in as many years.

THIS LP HAS A STICKER ON THE BACK OF THE LP WITH A VERY UNIQUE COLLECTORS NOTE ABOUT THIS 1ST EDITION PRESSING THAT MAKES IT TREMENDOUSLY RARE AND VALUABLE - IT STATES THAT THIS 1ST EDITION HAD A THE TRACK "IF YOU GOT LOVE" LISTED ON THE JACKET & LYRIC INNERSLEEVE BUT WAS EMITTED FROM THE 1ST EDITION release in of this 1982 LP. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY NEIL YOUNG COLLECTOR CAN KNOW THAT THEY OWN A 1ST EDITION OF THIS TITLE. IT SIMPLY DOESN'T GET ANY RARIER THEN THAT.
Trans was a bold and bewildering move into the 'modern age' for the veteran singer/songwriter. While it's been called his 'Electronic' album, Trans doesn't transport Neil into Depeche Mode territory. Instead, Trans finds Neil experimenting with an array of computers, keyboards and vocoders along with his standard guitar/bass/drums backbone. Nine tracks, including 'Little Thing Called Love', 'Computer Age', 'Transformer Man' and a drastically different version of his Buffalo Springfield classic 'Mr. Soul'. One of the things you've got to admire about Neil Young is that the man does not stand still. Basically a metal-rocker at heart, if his concerts are to be relied on--he nevertheless is comfortable working in a wide array of musical genres, as is amply demonstrated by a spin though his retrospective Decade CD.
Trans marks a foray--with a vengeance-- into electronic music. Admittedly, if this is not your sound, this will not be one of your favorite albums. It is, however, one of those experimental efforts that works. It was, at the time of its release, well ahead of the power curve insofar as this genre was concerned. Moreover, it clearly stands as an experiment with a different sound and technology. Not only did Neil write material specifically for this album, but he also took to trying the sound out on some of his old standards. So, not only do we have the commercially successful written pieces, such as Transformer Man and Sample and Hold, but also electronically rendered pieces such as Mr. Soul and Hold on to Your Love.
What has made Young such a viable artist for so long-his awesome talent aside-is his willingness and ability to experiment, to evolve, to grow. Everybody knows some growth spurts can leave one awkward in the short run, but better off in the long run. It is precisely because of efforts such as this that Young remains the vital musical force and influence he is.
So, treat yourself to a bit of musical and personal history and give Trans a spin.

`re.ac.tor' is an explosive chain reaction (since there is no song called `re.ac.tor' on the disc, one must speculate on the significance of the title, including it's syllabled graphic style, and absence of capital letters, which may symbolize being broken down to essential elements; the song titles receive the same curious treatment). The cover is odd and striking, a bold red sideways pyramid flanked top and bottom by black panels. I suppose it conveys contained, yet invasive heat, another good analogy for the aural content within. The 1981 release of `re.ac.tor' followed the 1980 release of Young's `Hawks and Doves' almost one year to the day, another album with a similarly simple yet symbolic cover, a large white star surrounded by blue background.
While `Hawks and Doves' embraced a patriotic theme, `re.ac.tor' embraces everything hedonistic. Drugs and rock open things up in `op.er.a star'; "women", "booze" and "a pleasure cruise" are the tangible elements in `surf.er joe and moe the sleaze'; `t-bone' is a rambunctious 9 minute raging blues on having what you need, but not all you want (for some odd reason Neil decided to print all 6 verses from `t-bone' in the liner notes, all consisting of "Got mashed potatoes. Ain't got no T-bone"); `south.ern pac.i.fic', `mo.tor city', `rap.id tran.sit' and `shots' are angry rants on aging, Japanese imports (Neil really has a thing for cars, especially old ones, eh?), New Wave rock, and war, respectively. Even though I'm from the `mo.tor city', my favorite in the bunch is the wildly entertaining `rap.id tran.sit'. Funny how a `60's rocker put together the best New Wave song the New Wave ever spawned.
You don't have to be a hedonist (in most respects) to enjoy this album. You do have to be motivated to indulge in loud, bare bones rock and roll, however. In the middle of the set Young offers `get back on it', a fast paced two minute ditty that serves as a bit of a respite from the aural assault blasting out on either side of it. Yet it still captures other elements of the disc... it's rather irrelevant lyrics pass the time as Young just has fun with the music. He sings, "I might be late comin' though. I got some things I gotta do". We know, Neil. Nice to hear you getting it out of your system. Now get back on it!

Neil Young returned to his commercial strengths with this 1975 release, named after Zuma Beach in Los Angeles, where he owned a house at the time. This record featured his backing band Crazy Horse on seven of the nine tracks, but it was a much more polished approach than Young's previous three albums. All in all, this one qualifies as another of the many classic Neil Young records.

After Neil Young left the California folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation. Young's body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan in terms of depth, and he was able to sustain his critical reputation, as well as record sales, for a longer period of time than Dylan, partially because of his willfully perverse work ethic. From the beginning of his solo career in the late '60s through to the 21st century, he never stopped writing, recording, and performing; his official catalog only represented a portion of his work, since he kept countless tapes of unreleased songs in his vaults.
Just as importantly, Young continually explored new musical territory, from rockabilly and the blues to electronic music. But these stylistic exercises only gained depth when compared to his two primary styles: gentle folk and country-rock, and crushingly loud electric guitar rock, which he frequently recorded with the Californian garage band Crazy Horse. Throughout his career, Young alternated between these two extremes, and both proved equally influential; there were just as many singer/songwriters as there were grunge and country-rock bands claiming to be influenced by Neil Young. Despite his enormous catalog and influence, Young continued to move forward, writing new songs and exploring new music. That restless spirit ensured that he was one of the few rock veterans as vital in his old age as he was in his youth.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Neil Young moved to Winnipeg with his mother following her divorce from his sports journalist father. Young began playing music in high school. Not only did he play in garage rock outfits like the Esquires, but he also played in local folk clubs and coffeehouses, where he eventually met Joni Mitchell and Stephen Stills. During the mid-'60s, he returned to Toronto, where he played as a solo folk act. By 1966, he joined the Mynah Birds, which also featured bassist Bruce Palmer and Rick James. The group recorded an album's worth of material for Motown, none of which was released at the time. Frustrated by his lack of success, Young moved to Los Angeles in his Pontiac hearse, taking Palmer along as support. Shortly after they arrived in L.A., they happened to meet Stills, and they formed Buffalo Springfield, who quickly became one of the leaders of the Californian folk-rock scene.
Despite the success of Buffalo Springfield, the group was plagued with tension, and Young quit the band several times before finally leaving to become a solo artist in May of 1968. Hiring Elliot Roberts as his manager, Young signed with Reprise Records and released his eponymous debut album in early 1969. By the time the album was released, he had begun playing with a local band called the Rockets, which featured guitarist Danny Whitten, bassist Billy Talbot, and drummer Ralph Molina. Young renamed the group Crazy Horse and had them support him on his second album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, which was recorded in just two weeks. Featuring such Young staples as "Cinnamon Girl" and "Down by the River," the album went gold. Following the completion of the record, he began jamming with Crosby, Stills & Nash, eventually joining the group for their spring 1970 album, Déjà Vu. Although he was now part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Young continued to record as a solo artist, releasing After the Gold Rush in August, 1970. After the Gold Rush, with its accompanying single "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," established Young as a solo star, and fame only increased through his association with CSN&Y.
Although Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were a very successful act, they were also volatile, and they had split by the spring 1971 release of the live Four Way Street. The following year, Young had his first number one album with the mellow country-rock of Harvest, which also featured his first (and only) number one single, "Heart of Gold." Instead of embracing his success, he spurned it, following it with the noisy, bleak live film Journey Through the Past. Both the movie and its soundtrack received terrible reviews, as did the live Time Fades Away, an album recorded with the Stray Gators that was released in 1973.
Both Journey Through the Past and Time Fades Away signaled that Young was entering a dark period in his life, but they only scratched the surface of his anguish. Inspired by the overdose deaths of Danny Whitten in 1972 and his roadie Bruce Berry the following year, Young wrote and recorded the bleak, druggy Tonight's the Night late in 1973, but declined to release it at the time. Instead, he released On the Beach, which was nearly as harrowing, in 1974; Tonight's the Night finally appeared in the spring of 1975. By the time of its release, Young had recovered, as indicated by the record's hard-rocking follow-up, Zuma, an album recorded with Crazy Horse and released later that year.
Young's focus began to wander in 1976, as he recorded the duet album Long May You Run with Stephen Stills and then abandoned his partner midway through the supporting tour. The following year he recorded the country-rock-oriented American Stars 'n Bars, which featured vocals by Nicolette Larson, who was also prominent on 1978's Comes a Time. Prior to the release of Comes a Time, Young scrapped the country-rock album Homegrown and assembled the triple-album retrospective Decade. At the end of 1978, he embarked on an arena tour called Rust Never Sleeps, which was designed as a showcase for new songs. Half of the concert featured Young solo, the other half featured him with Crazy Horse. That was the pattern that Rust Never Sleeps, released in the summer of 1979, followed. The record was hailed as a comeback, proving that Young was one of the few rock veterans who attacked punk rock head-on. That fall he released the double album Live Rust and the live movie Rust Never Sleeps.
Rust Never Sleeps restored Young to his past glory, but he perversely decided to trash his goodwill in 1980 with Hawks & Doves, a collection of acoustic songs that bore the influence of conservative, right-wing politics. In 1981, Young released the heavy rock album Re*ac*tor, which received poor reviews. Following its release, he left Reprise for the fledgling Geffen Records, where he was promised lots of money and artistic freedom. Young decided to push his Geffen contract to the limit, releasing the electronic Trans in January 1983, where his voice was recorded through a computerized vocoder. The album and its accompanying technology-dependent tour were received with bewildered, negative reviews. The rockabilly of Everybody's Rockin' (1983) was equally scorned, and Young soon settled into a cult audience for the mid-'80s.
Over the course of the mid-'80s, Young released three albums that were all stylistic exercises. In 1985, he released the straight country Old Ways, which was followed by the new wave-tinged Landing on Water the following year. He returned to Crazy Horse for 1987's Life, but by that time, he and Geffen had grown sick of each other, and he returned to Reprise in 1988. His first album for Reprise was the bluesy, horn-driven This Note's for You, which was supported by an acclaimed video that satirized rock stars endorsing commercial products. At the end of the year, he recorded a reunion album with Crosby, Stills & Nash called American Dream, which was greeted with savagely negative reviews.
American Dream didn't prepare any observer for the critical and commercial success of 1989's Freedom, which found Young following the half-acoustic/half-electric blueprint of Rust Never Sleeps to fine results. Around the time of its release, Young became a hip name to drop in indie rock circles, and he was the subject of a tribute record titled The Bridge in 1989. The following year, Young reunited with Crazy Horse for Ragged Glory, a loud, feedback-drenched album that received his strongest reviews since the '70s. For the supporting tour, Young hired the avant rock band Sonic Youth as his opening group, providing them with needed exposure while earning him hip credibility within alternative rock scenes. On the advice of Sonic Youth, Young added the noise collage EP Arc as a bonus to his 1991 live album, Weld.
Weld and the Sonic Youth tour helped position Neil Young as an alternative and grunge rock forefather, but he decided to abandon loud music for its 1992 follow-up, Harvest Moon. An explicit sequel to his 1972 breakthrough, Harvest Moon became Young's biggest hit in years, and he supported the record with an appearance on MTV Unplugged, which was released the following year as an album. Also in 1993, Geffen released the rarities collection Lucky Thirteen. The following year, he released Sleeps with Angels, which was hailed as a masterpiece in some quarters. Following its release, Young began jamming with Pearl Jam, eventually recording an album with the Seattle band in early 1995. The resulting record, Mirror Ball, was released to positive reviews in the summer of 1995, but it wasn't the commercial blockbuster it was expected to be; due to legal reasons, Pearl Jam's name was not allowed to be featured on the cover.
In the summer of 1996, he reunited with Crazy Horse for Broken Arrow and supported it with a brief tour. That tour was documented in Jim Jarmusch's 1997 film The Year of the Horse, which was accompanied by a double-disc live album. In 1999, Young reunited with Crosby, Stills & Nash for the first time in a decade, supporting their Looking Forward LP with the supergroup's first tour in a quarter century. A new solo effort, Silver & Gold, followed in the spring of 2000. In recognition of his 2000 summer tour, Young released the live album Road Rock, Vol. 1 the following fall, showcasing a two-night account of Young's performance at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, in September 2000. A DVD version titled Red Rocks Live was issued that December, including 12 tracks initially unavailable on Road Rock, Vol. 1. His next studio project was his most ambitious yet, a concept album about small-town life titled Greendale that he also mounted as a live dramatic tour and indie film.
In early 2005, Young was diagnosed with a potentially deadly brain aneurysm. Undergoing treatment didn't slow him down, however, as he continued to write and record his next project. The acoustically based Prairie Wind appeared in the fall, with the concert film Heart of Gold, based around the album and directed by Jonathan Demme, released in 2006. That year also saw the release of the controversial CD/DVD Living with War, a collection of protest songs against the war in Iraq that featured titles such as "Let's Impeach the President," "Shock and Awe," and "Lookin' for a Leader." Restless, prolific, and increasingly self-referential, Young issued Chrome Dreams II late in 2007 and the car-themed Fork in the Road in 2009. Later in 2009, Young finally released the first installment in his long-rumored Archives series, Archives, Vol. 1, a massive first volume that combined over ten CD and DVD discs in a single box. As he was prepping Archives, Vol. 2, Young entered the studio with producer Daniel Lanois and recorded Le Noise, which appeared in the fall of 2010. Young continued going through his archives with the release of A Treasure in 2011, a single-disc set of live tracks recorded during his 1984-1985 tour with the International Harvesters that featured five previously unreleased Young songs mixed in with older songs like "Flying On the Ground Is Wrong" and "Are You Ready For the Country?," all done in the classic Harvest style.
