Oceanside Countryside is the latest of Neil Young's great InchlostInch albums to be released as part of his Analog Original Series. The album was recorded from May to December 1977, preceding the of Comes A Time in 1978. The two albums share the same country/folk sound, and three songs (InchGoin' BackInch, InchHuman HighwayInch and InchField of OpportunityInch) appear on both albums. The vinyl of Oceanside Countryside includes some tracks that are on the CD of the same name in Neil Young's Archives Vol. III.
