Neil Young’s Lost 1977 LP, ‘Chrome Dreams’, To Be Released

The album features seven tracks recorded between 1974 and 1977 that eventually made their way onto other releases

Neil Young’s lost 1977 album, Chrome Dreams, is set to be released for the first time.

The 12-track album, originally recorded between 1974 and 1977, features several tracks that were eventually re-recorded for use on other releases by Young. One of them, ‘Sedan Delivery’, was remade with new lyrics when it was given its official release, but you can listen to the Chrome Dreams version of the song above.

The release of Chrome Dreams follows on from Young’s last studio album with Crazy Horse, World Record, which came out in November of last year. A shelved album made with Crazy Horse in 2001, titled Toast, was also given a release in July 2022.

Reprise will release Chrome Dreams on August 11, 2023.
