Today, Oct. 14, Neil Young has revealed plans to release the beloved 1972 album Harvest as a 50th Anniversary Edition Box Set on Dec. 2 via Reprise Records. Coupled with today’s release is a preview of the impending drop with a live video, “Heart of Gold,” from Young’s Feb. 23, 1971 gig at BBC Radio Theatre in London. Watch here

The forthcoming set boasts Young’s original Harvest album, as well as three studio outtakes on CD, and 7” vinyl. Moreover, the film Harvest Time, which is included in the drop, features two DVDs, one of which is a two-hour unreleased film, shot during the making of the original album, which features footage from Young’s Harvest recording sessions in Northern California, Nashville and London. 

The second film features footage from the aforementioned unreleased live 1971 BBC solo show, which will also be available on CD and vinyl. Included is an unreleased performance of the Harvest outtake, “Journey Through the Past,” which will be shared with the public on Nov. 4. 

The second film also includes additional outtakes from the original album, “Bad Fog of Loneliness” and “Dance Dance Dance.” As a bonus, the hardbound book from the impending set has never-before-seen photos paired with extensive liner notes by photographer, Joel Bernstein. 

Harvest 50th Anniversary Edition will be available digitally on the Neil Young Archives on Dec. 2. Learn more here.
