Neil Young Opens Up the Vaults With Crazy Horse Disc, Box Set

After more than 20 years, the first volume of Young's career-spanning box set is finally coming out. The 10-disc set (available in Blu-ray for $432 or DVD for $345, and eventually in CD and download formats) is built around an interactive timeline that allows users to access hundreds of hours of audio and video, ranging from Young's high school band through 1972's Harvest. "There's photos, there's original lyrics, there's all the materials that make up a career," says Larry Johnson, the set's producer. So when is Vol. 2 due? "Now that we've done the format," says Young, "it'll be quicker."
