Set for release on July 14th, 2023, Neil Young's "Official Release Series Volume 5" is a stunning collection of 4 albums that begins with the exciting renaissance that came with the release of "Freedom" in 1989, and continues on the unequaled exploration of collections with "Ragged Glory" in 1990, "Weld" in 1991, and "ARC" also in 1991. In many ways, it is a musical travelogue of how Young saw the future and opened up creative worlds for the use of sound and originality which had not been used before.

The "Official Release Series Volume 5" is available as a vinyl box set of the original 4 albums on 9 LP's, and the 4 CD releases now issued on 6 CD's. Like all the reissues in this series, the albums are remastered from the best source available. Original analog tape in the case of "Ragged Glory". For the 4 albums in the series, this is the 1st time they have been remastered for vinyl. The CD of "Ragged Glory" has also been remastered.

The vinyl and CD box sets are numbered, and the LP's are pressed on 180 gram vinyl. The vinyl box for the 4 albums is in a telescoping box, and the CDs are in a slipcase.
