Neil Young recorded this masterpiece in late 1974, just as he was recovering from the serious illness. In addition to overcoming personal challenges of all kinds, he also reflected on this album a host of social ills that affected America circa Watergate era. This is one of the most respectable Neil Young albums, which ostensibly he himself chose not to make available in any format, until August 19 2003 as part of his Archives Digital Masterpiece Series. The result: this great album has become one of the rarest albums in uncle Neils entire output.

For about two decades, rarity made a cult out of On the Beach. The title was deleted from vinyl in the early 1980s and only briefly available on cassette - the old slide-out case style, as well as 8-track Cartridge tape. On the Beach headed the list of most-desired albums not released on CD. Along with three other mid-period Young albums, it had been withheld from re-release until 2003;

There is  evidence that Young himself didn’t want the album out on CD .

Beginning in 2000, over 5000 fans signed an online petition calling for the release of the album on CD; 

this wish was finally granted in 2003.
