After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and relaxed, with glimmers of hope and humor peeking through the spare, evocative arrangements. ON THE BEACH is both unflinching and resilient, and easily stands as one of Young's finest albums.

Editorial reviews

5 stars out of 5 - ...As a document of a despairing personal low, ON THE BEACH would be a kind of masterpiece by any standard....A moving experience...
Uncut  (08/01/2003)

5 stars out of 5 - ...As a document of a moment when rock still meant something, it is peerless...
Mojo  (07/01/2003)

...The sound is stripped down and casual, but the vibe is intense... - Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly  (09/05/2003)

4 stars out of 5 - ...Vintage Young....[songs] coalesce with the landmark consistency of 1972's HARVEST...
Rolling Stone  (07/24/2003)

Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - He decided the world was going to hell in a handcart. He sang it all with brutal-fragile beauty.
Mojo  (03/01/2004)

Included in Q's Best Re-releases of 2003 - [S]avagely triumphant....ON THE BEACH stills reverberates with an honest urgency out of step with early '70s rock.

Condition: Original Factory Sealed>>>Sealed 95% as there are a couple of small breaks in the seal @ lower-right corner & upper left corner exposure. Also shows cto upper-right corner. Also, backside of cover shows partial yellow sticker attached to the shrink/seal (see photo) I’m sure this LP has the rare Beach Flower print scene on inside cover as well.  I have a NM copy of this one (personal copy) and it does have the beach/flower scene inside the cover that matches the print on the sun shade seen on the outside cover. Good luck finding a sealed copy of this great album! Cheers!!
