I added Neil Young's name to the upper left corner. I used one main drawing from the 'Zuma' booklet, overlaid on the official 'Zuma' cover, then added bits and pieces from a couple other drawings. I don't remember who that way, sorry, but I liked the idea and decided to do the same. At the Steve Hoffman music forum, I saw someone took some of the extra artwork from the 'Zuma' album, inverted the light and dark, and used that as a cover. This album essentially is a companion album to 'Zuma,' so I wanted an album cover to reflect that. But at the last minute, I decided there was room to include it on the previous album in this series, 'Homefires.' So please redownload that album or you'll miss that song. (Similarly, 'Zuma' is the name of a beach near Malibu.)Д«y the way, there was one song, 'Love-Art Blues,' that I had planned to include on this album. This is because most of the songs were recorded at a studio in Point Dume, California, near Malibu. The 'Archives, Volume II' box set calls the disc with these sessions on it 'Dume,' so that's the name I've given it as well. The rest were recorded in the May and June 1975 recording sessions that resulted in the 'Zuma' album. The first five songs here are still from late 1974 recording sessions. But there also are a few songs that appear here for the first time, thanks to 'Archives, Volume II,' such as 'Changing Highways,' 'Daughters,' and 'Born to Run.' The thing is though, all of those later releases could and should have been released in 1975. Finally, different versions of 'Ride My Llama,' 'Powerfinger' and 'Pocahontas' were included on 'Rust Never Sleeps' in 1979. A different version of 'Hawaii' came out on the archival release 'Hitchhiker' in 2017. A different version of 'Too Far Gone' appeared on 'Freedom' in 1989.

This exact version of 'The Old Homestead' came out on the 1980 album 'Hawks and Doves.' 'Bad News Comes to Town' was done in a drastically different big band version on tour in 1988, and then that version was included in the archival release 'Bluenote Cafe' in 2015. For instance, 'Deep Forbidden Lake' came out on the 'Decade' compilation in 1977. One thing you may notice about the song list below is that many of the songs here have already been released elsewhere by now. They're obsolete thanks to 'Archives, Volume II' released in late 2020, with many previously unreleased songs and versions. So even with 'Tonight's the Night' put aside, that's the equal of four studio albums of excellent songs all from the same year!ДЄ year or two ago, I had already posted a couple of albums of his mid-1970s, which I called 'Deep Forbidden Lake' and 'Let It Shine.' I'm deleting both of those today because they're being replaced by four albums: 'Last Dance,' 'Homefires,' 'Dume,' and 'Ranch Romances.' If you've downloaded those in the past, I highly recommend you get rid of those. But there was another excellent 1975 album that he sat on until 2020: 'Homegrown.' On top of that, I've posted another album of excellent songs that could have been released in early 1975: 'Homefires.' Then, on top of that, there's this album, which mainly consist of outtakes from the 'Zuma' sessions. In 1975, he released the studio albums 'Tonight's the Night' and 'Zuma.' We can discount 'Tonight's the Night' because it actually was recorded in 1973. It wasn't just that the songs he wrote were so good it's that there were so many of them as well. In 19, Neil Young arguably hit his peak as a songwriter.
