The second DVD is a companion film of the unreleased solo BBC Concert recorded on February 23, 1971. The first DVD, Harvest Time, is an unreleased two-hour film shot during the making of Harvest, with footage from Young’s Harvest Barn Sessions in Northern California, as well as that of recording sessions that took place in Nashville and London. The not-so-analog portion of this box set is still significant, as the pair of included DVDs lend further insight into the making of such a landmark album. Just as was done for the March 2021 After the Gold Rush box set, this new Harvest collection was mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles, and is being made/pressed in Germany. Young’s fourth solo album Harvest was originally mixed by Elliot Mazer “mostly” (their words) at Quadrafonic in Nashville, while Lee Hulko mastered the album at Sterling Sound in New York. (Yes, I mashed up a few album titles there, but you get the point.) To wit: A new box set celebrating the 50th anniversary of Harvest is coming via Reprise on December 2 that will include the original album on one 180g LP, plus another LP comprised of an unreleased of-era live BBC solo performance, and a 7-inch EP with a trio of unreleased outtakes culled from the original Harvest sessions: “Bad Fog Of Loneliness,” “Journey Through The Past,” and “Dance Dance Dance.” Also included in the collection is a hardbound book with never-before-seen photos along with extensive liner notes by photographer Joel Bernstein, a fold-out poster, a lithograph print, and two DVDs. A man needs to harvest a heart of gold, and Neil Young’s groundbreaking February 1972 album Harvest provides all the aural goods on wax to do just that.
