stripped-down, unpolished version of 2006’s Living With War, with choir and overdubs having been jettisoned, delivers an even more powerful, jacked-up conduit of the message. Recorded live in the studio in only two weeks with sparse musical support, it’s hardly subtle themes and lyrics (Let’s Impeach The President) are Young’s personal shock and awe, commenting, as he had swiftly done on the 1969 Kent State killings (“Ohio”), on the political turmoil in the U.S. and it’s war on terrorism. The original version fanned the flames and both doves and hawks were glad when it faded from the news.This new version is bound to keep the heat up for some time. Mastered and cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood from the original demo mix master tapes gives this compendium edition a rawer, more edgy sound - similar to other recent NY releases. Additionally, all new gatefold artwork makes this package a natural, “must have” alternate version of the first release of “Living With War” in 2006. ALL Classic / Reprise Neil Young vinyl issues including LWW...In the Beginning, are pressed only on Classic’s proprietary 200g Super Vinyl Profile. Don’t even hesitate – just buy it!
