Blu-Ray Never Sleeps

Young goes digital with complete archive, new material on interactive discs

Share

(Newser) – Fans of Neil Young will soon be able to buy his entire music archive on Blu-ray discs, the AP reports. The first 10-disc set, out this fall, will cover the prolific rocker’s career from 1963 to 1972 and will include some previously unreleased songs, videos, and handwritten manuscripts. Buyers will also be able to download more content to the discs on their own.
