Reprise Records has announced that Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House 1968" will be released on November 25.
The release is a compilation from two shows on November 9 and 10, 1968 at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the singer's first performances as a solo artist. Young was only 23 years old and had left the Buffalo Springfield six months earlier. The booking was not widely publicized as it was being used to determine how Young's music would go over with the audience when just performed by the singer and a lone guitar.
Along with the music, Young tells stories between the songs on everything from menial jobs he had in Toronto to the origins of some of the songs. Included are pieces from both his Buffalo Springfield days along with early solo compositions. Sound quality is said to be very good even though the performances were recorded on a small TEAC two-track recorder.
On the down side, Young has also announced that his long promised Archives, Volume 1 is being delayed until early next year. Much discussion has ensued over the distribution method for the multi-disc set with Young preferring Blu-Ray only while the record company opting for multiple-formats.
