Box Set (Box Set) (CD)

Buffalo Springfield was one of the definitive 1960s folk-rock groups. Their surplus of strong writers and personalities (including Neil Young and Steve Stills) produced some inspired recordings, but there was no way to keep all that talent under one roof. After a brief, sparkling career and three albums, they splintered into Poco; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; and, of course, the mighty Neil's five-decade solo career. Despite the brevity of the group's life, their country/rock/folk hybrid laid the groundwork for much of what followed in the '70s.

Rolling Stone (7/19/01, p.49) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...The group contributed as much to rock&roll as its famous divorces [Crosby, Stills and Nash, Poco, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Loggins and Messina, et al.]. This long overdue 4-disc box chronicles and illuminates that contribution....an overabundance of talent..."
Q (8/01, p.147) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...You hear the magic unfold....File it next to The Beatles' Anthology series, and luxuriate in exactly how mind-boggling an era the '60s was."
Mojo (Publisher) (1/02, p.70) - Ranked #1 in Mojo's "Best [10] Box Sets & Compilations of 2001".
Mojo (Publisher) (7/01, pp.116-7) - "...Gives us twice as much Springfield music as we'd ever had - in illuminating form...all but taking you there, to their short heaven that was 1966 and '67. Love it for all it's worth."

One of the most beloved folk-rock bands of the '60s, Buffalo Springfield are known these days primarily for their hit "For What It's Worth," but in their brief heyday they were one of the most important groups around. The fact that they numbered among their members Neil Young and Stephen Stills doesn't hurt their seminal status any, but the songs themselves are virtually indestructible. From the aforementioned non-protest anthem to the sunny, melodic "Bluebird" and the burning psychedelia of "Mr. Soul," these guys were at the vanguard of so many '60s pop styles it's scary. This long-awaited, much-embraced box includes an abundance of previously unreleased tracks (demos, outtakes, even some never-before-heard compositions) that make it a must for hardcore fans. And any fan of '60s rock who's taken by the considerable charms of the aforementioned tunes is probably already well on their way to becoming a hardcore fan.
