Initially issued on CD as part of the Archives Vol. 2 box set, Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s album Dume – effectively an expanded version of the Zuma album – will be issued on vinyl for the first time next month.
The 16-song album includes tracks from 1975, recorded during the Zuma sessions. The record gets its name from Point Dume, the area in Malibu where Neil Young, Crazy Horse, and producer David Briggs lived, wrote and recorded the music (Zuma beach in this area, too).
The idea behind Dume was to weave songs from the Zuma album with unreleased tracks and mixes from that period; to use the Zuma album as a starting point and expand it into a brand-new entity, with unreleased tracks and alternate mixes. Eight out of Zuma’s nine tracks are included in exactly the same versions (‘Through My Sails’ is the only one omitted) everything else is unreleased, or was until 2020, when the Archives Vol. 2 CD box came out. This is the first time they’ve been released on vinyl.
