Neil Young today announced that he will be releasing a 10-disc Blu-ray set that chronicles his life from 1963-1972 and will include high definition audio recording of all his songs, videos, handwritten manuscripts, among other material.

Blu-ray was chosen because of its storage capacity and its ability to be updated via BD-Java and BD-Live. Neil Young commented, “Previous technology required unacceptable quality compromises. I am glad we waited and got it right.”

The set is expected this fall.
