In 1990, Young told Rolling Stone about the career-spanning box set he had in the works: "Shit, that's a giant. I'm really into it, but it's not something you can knock off in a year." Nearly two decades later, the first 10-disc volume (available in both Blu-ray and DVD formats) is finally coming. What took so long? "Originally my problem was that digital sound wasn't good enough," Young said in May. "Blu-rays have this fantastic resolution." Highlights of the set — which traces Young's career through his 1972 breakthrough, Harvest — include gigabytes of unreleased music, from complete concerts with the original lineup of Crazy Horse to outtakes from After the Goldrush sessions. Said Young, "It tells the story of my music in days, step by step."
