Restoring the original recordings

Stills, Young, and John Hanlon have meticulously restored and mixed the original multi-track recordings at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The team committed to an entirely analog workflow to ensure exceptional sound quality. The audio has undergone a triple-layered lacquer-cutting process, resulting in a vinyl listening experience with pristine audio clarity. The sentiment is palpable in the rich harmonies and dynamic performances captured on the album.

Hearing the music again after all these years, I can tell how much we loved each other and loved the music that we were creating.
