In Neil Young's extensive career, this period of music came at a definite turning point. The 1990s were almost ready to start, and Young had recently returned to his long-time home at Reprise Records. It definitely appeared to be a joyous and jubilant moment for the man who had recently celebrated the 21-year anniversary of a solo career that had never stopped progressing.

Freedom (1989) - 2LP:
The first album in Volume 5 is aptly named Freedom, and is one of Neil's most popular and successful albums. It includes the classic track "Rockin' in the Free World" (always a live show staple), plus the stand-out songs "Wrecking Ball," "No More", "Too Far Gone" and "Crime in the City."

Ragged Glory (1990) - 3LP:
Ragged Glory was a non-stop celebration for the music Neil Young & Crazy Horse are still creating at full force, and was recorded at Young's Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California. The 10 song original album is expanded for this re-issue with 4 rare tracks. "Interstate" and "Don't Spook the Horse" were both b-sides to singles. "Box Car" and the 12-minute "Born to Run" are both previously unreleased versions. The 4 additional songs have expanded the format to 3 LPs.

Weld (1991) - 3LP:
Weld is one of the most groundbreaking albums of Neil Young's history. It's a live album recorded with Crazy Horse after the release of Ragged Glory. It was from a wildly creative period of the band's history, and as Neil Young has often done, gave notice that he was a rock & roll originator who could never be second-guessed. Only previously released on vinyl in Europe.

Arc (1991) - 1LP:
Arc is the live companion release to Weld, and at the time generated the kind of musical notoriety that has often marked Young's creations. Arc is a 35-minute outburst of feedback, improvisation, guitar solos and vocal fragments. This marks the album's first release on vinyl.
