0093624852339Label: Reprise
Release Date: 13th December
I don't want to argue but for this shopkeeper, 'On The Beach' is the perfect Neil Young record. It's got the jams, got the crunch, got the blues and in 'Walk On' possibly the finest start to a song ever recorded, you just feel like you've gatecrashed the song and it never ceases to astound me. Happy 50th birthday you absolute MASTERPIECE.
