In the liner notes to his triple-LP compilation, ‘Decade,’ Neil Young wrote that the chart-topping success of ‘Heart of Gold’ “put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there.” The first studio album to emerge from that ditch, ‘On the Beach,’ was released on July 19, 1974.
