ON THE BEACH is the 5th studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released by Reprise Records in July 19, 1974. The album is the second of the so-called "Ditch Trilogy" of albums that Young recorded following the major success of 1972's Harvest, whereupon the scope of his success and acclaim became apparent. ON THE BEACH was inspired by his feelings of retreat, alienation, and melancholy in response to this success. ON THE BEACH remained unavailable on CD until 2003, when a remastered version was finally released. Carefully remastered CD of this classic 1974 album featuring David Crosby, Graham Nash, Rick Danko & Levon Helm. Sparse, underproduced, and at times downright dour, ON THE BEACH was Neil Young's first studio album after Harvest had transformed him into a mainstream superstar two years before. Young had already recorded the harrowing Tonight's The Night, his indictment of '60s drug culture and the damage done, but his label rejected it as too abrasive. Less mournful but still haunting, the album is basically Young's rejection of rock stardom and what had become of the counterculture, covering a range of subjects, including Richard Nixon and Patty Hearst (the epic "Ambulance Blues"), his affair with actress Carrie Snodgrass ("Motion Pictures"), and, most famously, years before it became "chic" to do so, Charles Manson (the rocking "Revolution Blues"). "Vampire Blues," meanwhile, seemed to be about all those topics, as well as Young himself. Full of despair and little hope, ON THE BEACH would nevertheless eventually come to be reappraised as a rock culture masterpiece.

Following the 1973 Time Fades Away Tour, Neil Young wrote and recorded an Irish wake of a record called Tonight's The Night and went on the road drunkenly playing its songs to uncomprehending listeners and hostile reviewers. Reprise rejected the record, and Young went right back and made ON THE BEACH, which shares some of the ragged style of its two predecessors. But where Time was embattled and Tonight mournful, ON THE BEACH was savage and, ultimately, triumphant. "I'm a vampire, babe," Young sang, and he proceeded to take bites out of various subjects: threatening the lives of the stars who lived in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon ("Revolution Blues"); answering back to Lynyrd Skynyrd, whose "Sweet Home Alabama" had taken him to task for his criticisms of the South in "Southern Man" and "Alabama" ("Walk On"); and rejecting the critics ("Ambulance Blues"). But the barbs were mixed with humor and even affection, as Young seemed to be emerging from the grief and self-abuse that had plagued him for two years. But the album was so spare and under-produced, its lyrics so harrowing, that it was easy to miss Young's conclusion: he was saying goodbye to despair, not being overwhelmed by it.
