I once had a vinyl of "Time Fades Away" that took me years to find. My roommate in college knocked over a shelf and smashed all of my Missing 6...a very painful day (December 3, 1997...but who's keeping track?). I have a bootleg CD of TFA, but I'd be glad to give my money to Neil and feel guiltless listening to "LA" and "Journey..."
Please! C'mon! Forget this petition crap! Release it already!
Just Do it! I don't understand why I see thousands of releases from not-so-talented artists... while we need to petition for a very important history like this?
Don't you get it? This shows how stupid mankind is!
I hope the whole world FREEZE so we can all die!
Hi Neil,
When I stumbled upon this petition site while TAB searching for "Going Back", I thought of the "After The Gold Rush" album. How influencial that album to me while becoming a teen-ager. To this day I still got most of your albums in vinyl. I still listens to them!
Why I'm anxious to hear "Time Fades Away"? I don't know? But I think a lot people out there feels the same way. You have no idea how important your music to us.
.. may be we should have started a -don't-release-TFA- petition instead... Neil would have been like .. "hahaaa they don't want me to release this ? Fuck'em i'm gonna do it just to piss them off !.."

Dear Neil,
Thanks to you, Tom's guitar is broken.
Don't you wish that you could BE HERE TOO?
Dark and hedonistic this sound is... please release the CD.
on the beach was one of the best cds released in years, i'd love to be able to say the same about time fades away so please bring it out. fold-out lyrics sheet optional!
My Man, Neil:
Your work is unlike any other artist in the music industry. No one compares to your integrity, your honesty and your musical ability. Hell - your lyrics are awesome as well !
Time Fades Away is one of the rawest and purely entertaining albums I've ever heard. Please re-release it. It's a diamond in the rough, waiting to be heard by many of today's younger listeners. Please keep rocking.

both brooding and haunting. it's hard to classify this as a "live" album. as usual neil sets the pace and the rest of the world has to play catch up. this record would sound great straight running without the "flip" in the middle to let you breath.
This release was from the first tour I saw Neil on, priceless for its raw energy and ragged feel that was leading up to the epic Tonight's the Night. Neil really broke thru to the ragged edge sound for the first time here which has served him so well since.
It is ridiculous that this album is not readily available. I bought a second-hand copy a few months back for $4, and realize that no amount of remastering is going to make this recording 'pristine'. What has to be realized, however, is that few Neil Young fans listen to his albums for the 'soundcapes'. Even with the difficult archival work involved in reassembling this album, its influence alone justifies the project.
Being a Neil Young fan since 1970 I have about everything Neil Young produced (I need this in CD format). I refuse to get a bootleg copy). Labrador City, NL
Growing up in hollywood Neil has been a constant companion through my life from junior high and still - yet I do love the vinyl.
