ニール・ヤング『Archives Vol. III (1976-1987)』から「Razor Love」の未発表オリジナル版公開

ニール・ヤング（Neil Young）はアーカイヴ・ボックス・セット・シリーズの第3弾として、1976年から1987年までのニール・ヤングの作品を幅広く紹介する『Neil Young Archives Vol. III (1976-1987)』をリリースします。

この作品から「Razor Love」の未発表オリジナル・ヴァージョンが先行公開されています。

英Uncut誌によると、このヴァージョンは1984年1月初旬にヤングのブロークン・アロー・ランチで録音されました。このヴァージョンではヤングによるLinnDrum、Simmons drums,、synclavier、vocalsがフィーチャーされています。プロデュースはヤングとティム・マリガンが担当しました。

ヤングは同年、＜International Harvesters tour＞でこの曲をライヴで披露しましたが、スタジオ・レコーディング・ヴァージョンをリリースしたのは2000年で、再録音されたヴァージョンがアルバム『Silver & Gold』に収録されています。
