After Mr. Young beginning of this millennium finally held the studio and re-mastering technology for mature enough in order to edit some of his older works, on their CD release of the fan now had to wait almost 2 decades, even the re-release of this masterpiece was nothing in the way! After the commercial break with HARVEST, Neil Young downshifted 1973 some courses and played two albums a. Tonight's the night, which should appear because of its only related commerciality until 1975, and on the Beach, which is now one of his classics. The somewhat gloomy, very blues-heavy mood of the album, is somewhat in contrast to the sometimes ironic, often sarcastic lyrics in which Neil Young reflects on his experiences during his enormous popularity nudge by HARVEST - with titles like Vampire Blues or the title song On The Beach which is next to the Ambulance Blues of the highlights of the album. But actually it is the album does not do justice, if one were to single out one or the other title, as seen as a whole this work develops its impressive and very atmospheric, albeit slightly depressing atmosphere.
