Oceanside Countryside is the latest of Neil Young’s great “lost” albums to be released as part of his Analog Original Series. 

 

The album was recorded from May to December 1977, preceding the release of Comes A Time in 1978. The two albums share the same country/folk sound, and three songs appear on both albums.

 

This recycled vinyl release of Oceanside Countryside is how the album was originally planned to be released using the original mixes done at the time of recording. 

 

“This analog original album, recorded in 1977, was unreleased at the time. These songs are the original mixes done at the time of the recordings. I sang the vocals and played the instruments on Oceanside in Florida at Triad studios and Malibu, at Indigo studio. I sang the vocals and recorded with my great band of friends at Crazy Mama’s in Nashville on Countryside. I hope you enjoy this treasure of an Analog Original recording as much as I do.” - Neil Young
