[[Mo Ostin]] mentioned this request at the 22nd Annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2005/may/18/entertainment/et-young18/2 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707093808/http://articles.latimes.com/2005/may/18/entertainment/et-young18/2 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 7, 2012 | title= Comes a time for a tux |author=Randy Lewis |newspaper=LA Times|date= May 18, 2005}}</ref>

On October 15, 2002, ''Harvest'' was digitally remixed and remastered for the [[DVD-Audio]] format. The new 5.1 mix was the subject of minor controversy due to its unconventional panning, with the vocals in the centre of the room and the drums in the rear speakers. ''Harvest'' was remastered and released on [[HDCD]]-encoded CD and digital download on July 14, 2009, as part of the [[Neil Young Archives#Original Release Series|Neil Young Archives Original Release Series]]. A 180-gram remastered vinyl edition was released on December 1, 2009, along with remastered vinyl editions of Young's first four albums.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.becausesoundmatters.com/product/neil-young-official-release-series-vinyl-1-4|title=Because Sound Matters, Retrieved September 15, 2010 |website=becausesoundmatters.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114125001/http://www.becausesoundmatters.com/product/neil-young-official-release-series-vinyl-1-4|archive-date=November 14, 2009}}</ref> The remastered CD exists both as a standalone album and as Disc 4 of a 4-CD box set ''Official Release Series Discs 1-4'', released in the US in 2009 and Europe in 2012.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/master/421064-Neil-Young-Official-Release-Series-Discs-1-4|title=Neil Young - Official Release Series Discs 1-4|website=Discogs.com|access-date=24 December 2021}}</ref>
