FREEDOM and RAGGED GLORY are amongst the most celebrated studio albums in Young's career. The tentpoles of Young's rock output. The original RAGGED GLORY album is expanded for this re-issue with 4 rare tracks. "Interstate" and "Don't Spook The Horse" were both b-sides to singles. "Box Car" and the 12 minute "Born To Run" are both previously unreleased versions.

WELD is one of the most groundbreaking albums of Neil Young's history. A live album recorded with Crazy Horse after the release of RAGGED GLORY, from a wildly creative period of the band's history. ARC is the live companion collection to WELD, and at the time generated the kind of musical notoriety that has often marked Young's creations. A 35-minute outburst of feedback, improvisation, guitar solos and vocal fragments. This marks the album's first release on vinyl.
