Neil Young announces the release of the 4th installment in his "Official Release Series (ORS)", a box set that includes his classic 80's records, "Hawks & Doves", "Re•ac•tor", and "This Note’s For You", as well as his "Eldorado" EP, previously released only in Japan and Australia. Both vinyl and CD box sets will be available and out on April 29th, 2022.

The "O.R.S. Volume 4" collects an eclectic set of decade spanning sounds. "Hawks & Doves" (1980) revisits his folk roots and explores some of his most country leaning offerings, the blistering "Re•ac•tor" (1981) showcases a stomping set of heavy, overdriven rock with Crazy Horse, "This Note’s For You" (1988) casts Young as a big band leader, belting out intricately arranged blues, and the "Eldorado" EP (1989) is full of feral distortion and earthy crunch featuring Young backed by The Restless (Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas). It includes 2 thundering tracks, “Cocaine Eyes” and “Heavy Love”, not available on any other album.

"O.R.S. Volume 4" collects a large swath of his diverse and compelling 80's work, testifying to the legendary songwriter’s gift for sonic shape shifting.
