Tonight is certainly available in Europe, if not on your side of the pond.  I
should know, I just ordered it, having dug out my tape copy to find it past
redemption.  There are some nasty nasty bootlegged releases around of interest -
someone has squeezed hawks and doves and on the beach onto a cd.  Been tempted
but have valiantly resisted handing over cash to the crooks.  I do have a tape
copy of the Chrome Dreams boot which is pretty damn thrilling

It originally appeared on TIME FADES AWAY, the live document of the HARVEST
tour, warts and all. I'd like to see that one reissued almost as much as ON
THE
BEACH.

Don't count on it, and not just because of the mega-comp that's coming out.
I read an interview with Neil some years back in which he said something to

being released on CD as well. Maybe these 32 CDs will contain generous
chunks of OTB and TFA because these are two essential Neil LPs. But, until
further notice, they will remain LPs.
