Although the Byrds receive more credit (and perhaps rightfully so), Buffalo Springfield, in some respects, were just as responsible for the country-rock and singer/songwriter explosion that continued through the full flight of the Eagles and later mutated into '90s neo-country. This 1966 debut reveals the precocious songwriting talents of both Neil Young and Stephen Stills; check out Stills's Beatlesque "Sit Down, I Think I Love You" and Young's weird (for '66!) but classic "Burned." Their next album, Again, is widely considered their best effort, but this is an excellent debut, made even stronger with the addition of their hit, the single-only "For What It's Worth." The CD offers both stereo and mono versions of each track. --Bill Holdship

Only a handful of bands have made a greater impact with fewer recordings than the short-lived Buffalo Springfield. Their history is told in the titles of their three albums: 1967's eponymous debut was followed by the peak-performance Again later that year, which was followed by 1968's Last Time Around. While their entire recorded career encompasses a mere two years, the Stephen Stills-Neil Young-Richie Furay-led quintet produced a number of '60s rock classics. Stills chipped in "For What It's Worth" and "Bluebird"; Furay's "Kind Woman" is one of the touchstones of country-rock; and Young fired off the likes of the raucous "Mr. Soul," the gentle "I Am a Child," the ambitious "Broken Arrow," and the breathtakingly pretty "Expecting to Fly." They're all on this 12-song overview, a suitable option for anyone who isn't up to stocking up on the entire catalog. --Steven Stolder

GREATEST MUSIC EVER.......2007-05-14

WITH ALL THE GREAT VOCALS ON THIS, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. IT IS JUST A CLASSIC.

THE LEGEND OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD LIVES ON WITH SOME OF ROCK'S GREATEST ANTHEMS EVER........2007-04-16

I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece compilation album entitled "RETROSPECTIVE - THE BEST OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD" by one of Rock's all-time greatest legendary bands ever. I give you one of America's pride and joy's, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD. This legendary compilation album was originally released in 1969 on Vinyl/LP and 8-Track on the ATCO Records label in association and division of Atlantic Records which is a Warner Communications Company. This compilation album would see its first release on Compact Disc in the late 80's. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for recording some of Rock's most legendary sacred anthems ever. When Stephen Stills met up and joined forces with Neil Young, Richie Furay, Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer, later replaced by Jim Messina, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD would be born and a great multi-talented group would soon be a mega force to be dealt with. Although BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD only lasted a mere two years, the band would record only three albums and numerous hit singles. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD contributed and accomplished so much in a short period of time that the band can never be denied the amount of great Rock anthems that were recorded in that short two year span. "RETROSPECTIVE - THE BEST OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD" is the result of the many great hit songs that the band recorded during their two year reign. In my opinion, this legendary masterpiece compilation album is without a doubt, a definite true testament of five extremely talented musical masterminds and is a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. This legendary masterpiece compilation album begins with one of the all-time greatest Rock anthems to ever document the Vietnam War, "For What It's Worth," the breathtaking Rocker "Mr. Soul," the slow and smooth sounding "Sit Down, I Think I Love You," the slow soothing "Kind Woman," the beautiful uplifting "Bluebird," the beautiful heartfelt "On The Way Home," the incredible beautiful sounding "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing," the blistering half live and half studio version of Neil Young's "Broken Arrow," the beautifully well arranged mild number "Rock And Roll Woman," the encouraging Country Rocker "I Am A Child," another great Country Rocker entitled "Go And Say Goodbye" and the the slow and beautifully orchestrated song "Expecting To Fly." May I also add that this legendary group mainly comprising of the talented mega-star lineup of Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Jim Messina contributed some of Rock's most beautiful musical arrangements while including and containing some of the most powerful lyrics ever.

Overall, this is one hell of a greatest hits compilation album worth seeking further research into and checking out especially if you are a hardcore diehard BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD fan or a devout music historian or collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not familiar with the sound and music of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD but have to write a book report in U.S. History on Rock anthems during the Vietnam War in the 60's and early 70's, this album is definitely for you.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary masterpiece compilation album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This greatest hits treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great compilation album that no hardcore music fanatic or devout music historian or collector would want to be without. Please buy this album, you'll be glad that you did. You can research and purchase all of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD'S catalog collection either through Amazon com or your local Borders books and music store.

In closing, as I stressed earlier in this review, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD would only last a mere two years. However, three of the band's legendary members would move on to bigger green pastures and greater things which would only add more fuel to the BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD storied legend and legacy. Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Jim Messina would not only have successful solo careers, but would enjoy being in other bands as well. Stephen Stills and later Neil Young would become part of the legendary band CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG while Jim Messina would enjoy success as part of a dual act in the band Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins. With all of the great albums that these combined legendary bands have recorded, their roots and influence while in BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD is fully intact and can never be denied. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD has forever left their mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Stephen, Neil, Richie, Dewey, Bruce and Jim. Thanks for the great memories. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD FOREVER. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

Good, but needs an update.......2007-04-10

Buffalo Springfield only had one big hit "For What its Worth" but their influence was felt beyond their impact on the charts or the sales of the few albums they released. They helped keep the folk/coutry-rock movement moving and launched the careers of Stephen Stills and Neil Young. This is a good overview of their brief career, but it is just a song-for-song reissue of the vinyl LP. They could put twice as many songs on a CD. It is time for an update with some bonus tracks or an all new release.

Unique tunes that will stick with you.......2007-03-19

The seminal group that produced Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Jim Messina. This CD shows all the different flavors the members contributed to making Buffalo Springfield songs unique and compositions that you'll want to listen to over and over again (my personal favorite is "Broken Arrow"). "Mr. Soul" and "For What It's Worth" notable radio hits on this CD. Take a trial listen--you might be surprised. Once you've heard the songs a few times you'll want to hear them over again. Another one of my albums that was a favorite in late '60's & early '70's before album wore out!

ANOTHER 60's "GREAT GROUP".......2007-01-10

The group didn't last long....but their impact with last forever!! There was just too much talent in this group- i.e. Steven Stills, Neil Young,Bruce Palmer (later replaced by Jim Messina) and Dewey Martin & Richie Furay... A rich collection of harmony, & the songs that were compliled for this "Retrospective" is AWESOME!! Try it...you'll LOVE IT!! ENJOY!! (As I did...my son too!!)

Here's where Stephen Stills and Neil Young's on-and-off partnership fell apart for the first time. The liner notes to BS's debut album had announced, "Steve is the leader, but we all are" and described Neil Young as "hot and cold," which in retrospect seems like a warning. Young appears to have at least one foot out the door already, the ambitious "Broken Arrow" and "Expecting to Fly" clearly pointing toward a solo career. And for all the timeless excellence of Young's "Mr. Soul," it's Stills's "Bluebird" that defines Buffalo Springfield Again, much as his "For What It's Worth" defined its predecessor. In one song, the group demonstrates astonishing versatility (from rock to folk to bluegrass), without the saccharine touches that mar Stills's post-Springfield work. But for all their considerable recorded achievements, Buffalo Springfield always felt like a band that never reached its potential. --David Wolf

Just about perfect.......2007-07-15

This album is worth every cent. The songwriting, arrangements, vocals, playing, production.....all just superb.
It's too bad all of the members of Buffalo Springfield didn't put their next respecitve projects on hold to make
a few more records. While this album only clocks in at 34 minutes it's not fair to compare this to other masterpieces from the 60's, but if it had been another 10 minutes on the level of the rest of what's here, it would be right up there with Sgt. Peppers, Pet Sounds, or Blonde on Blonde......this is really that good.

Buffalo Springfield Again or for the first time in your collection!.......2007-06-03

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" I am frequently asked to write reviews and discuss 60's and 70's rock recordings.

"Buffalo Springfield Again" took elements of folk, rock, and country, placed them in the blender and saw prodigious results.

Anybody not sure of this can ask the music community what they thought of the release. The progressive rock band "Yes" does an incredible version of "Everydays" on their second album "Time And A Word."

The lyrics to "Mr. Soul" are so spectacular that you may not make it through the song without playing it over. As the guitar pays homage to the Stones "Satisfaction" the lyrics will floor you.

The diversity shown in tracks such as "Expecting To Fly", "Bluebird", "Rock & Roll Woman", and "Broken Arrow" will satisfy any fan of the great era of rock and roll.

Buffalo Springfield seemed to get the accolades years after the break-up and while it should have come from day one, it does solidify the timelessness of their sounds.

Enjoy the disc and be well,
Craig Fenton

one of the great albums of the 1960's.......2007-03-21

bookended by a pair of neil young classics ("mr soul" and "broken arrow"), this is a stunning album, one of the very best that was american made in the 60's. this is such an ambitious piece of work. there is country-rock (a child's claim to fame), jazz-tinges (on "everydays"), a gorgeous ballad with heavenly strings (expecting to fly), and soul music with horns & all (good time boy). "bluebird" is one of the strongest melodies here, with great electric & acoustic guitar workouts and some banjo picking that takes the song on out. "rock & roll woman" is also a fabulous melody with electric & acoustic guitar textures. catchy harmonies too. "hung upside down" sports more great electric guitar work, and is a fine stephen stills composition. it is the closing track "broken arrow," however, that is the real highwire act of a song here. six minutes and thirteen seconds of supreme musical ambition that works wonders. the song is a great neil young vocal with a fantastic arrangement of strings with circus sounds and jazz touches included. one of my favorite song compositions of the 60's. the whole album is magic. everyone should have a copy of this masterpiece.

Excellent Remaster.......2007-03-17

It is not advertised much, but look for this CD as a remaster - the sound is much improved and excellent. The back of the CD states HDCD and "Remastered from Original Source Tapes" Its still 9.99, so either get this new or used from a seller that assures it is the remastered version. This has some of Neil's best songs and with one exception, all the tracks are excellent.

Although the Byrds receive more credit (and perhaps rightfully so), Buffalo Springfield, in some respects, were just as responsible for the country-rock and singer/songwriter explosion that continued through the full flight of the Eagles and later mutated into '90s neo-country. This 1966 debut reveals the precocious songwriting talents of both Neil Young and Stephen Stills; check out Stills's Beatlesque "Sit Down, I Think I Love You" and Young's weird (for '66!) but classic "Burned." Their next album, Again, is widely considered their best effort, but this is an excellent debut, made even stronger with the addition of their hit, the single-only "For What It's Worth."

Customer Reviews:

fine debut. .......2007-03-21

stephen stills "for what it's worth" is, of course, a classic song. "burned," neil young's strongest effort for this album, is another classic song. the rest of it is all very good. i would say that it does sound a bit dated, however;, and that this one is mostly for fanatics of 60's music. your average "artic monkeys" fan is not going to find this a good match for their musical sensiblities. better was on the way from buffalo springfield. their next album, "buffalo springfield again" is an all out rock masterpiece that everybody should own, whatever your age or inclinations.

Buffalo Springfield - self-titled (Atco).......2007-02-02

Originally saw the blessed light of day in 1967, some oldie fans may not realize that Buffalo Springfield actual had several full length albums out. Can't believe these guys had JUST one hit. Anyway,this twelve track self-titled CD reissue has several should - have / could - have - been hits as far as I'm concerned. Cuts like "Go And Say Goodbye", the Beatles - like "Sit Down I Think I Love You", "Everybody's Wrong", "Burned", the jamming bluesy "Leave" and "Pay The Price" (with it's catchy riffs) along with their sole hit "For What It's Worth" all make this disc a keeper. It's obvious this band was a heavy influence on later artists such as the Eagles, Gram Parsons, BoDeans and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Recommended.

For what its worth...they need a better producer.......2007-01-30

A very impressive set of songs here. The only thing that could of improved this record was a better production. The production here is horrible, you can't even make out what the great Bruce Palmer is doing on bass. IT's worth it for the talent and great set of songs.

Decent, but Again is far better.......2006-11-29

Okay, so For What It's Worth is, well... For What It's Worth. There's not much I can say to do the song justice. Needless to say, it's awesome. The problem is that nothing else on this record is - not even the Neil Young stuff (I'm a big Neil Young fan, which explains why I tend to center on his songs when I review Springfield). Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing and Flying on the Ground is Wrong are charming, and both hint at Neil's later talents. But both are ruined by Ritchie Furay vocals - I'm not a big Furay fan, but at least he didn't write anything. That leaves Stills to pick up the slack, and I'm afraid he does a slipshod job - I like Everybody's Wrong and Burned (not to mention For What It's Worth), but can't really get into Sit Down I Think I Love You; Go and Say Goodbye; or Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It). The rest is standard-issue folk-pop, pleasant and not without its charms, but the casual fan (such as me) will probably feel vaguely ripped off if they buy this one.

"Steve is the leader, but we all are".......2006-08-01

Those who have an original vinyl copy of this album will remember the "liner notes," i.e. a collection of the various band members' favourite colours, favourite places, their zodiac signs and random thoughts (the comment about Stephen Stills showing up in his "profile"). When I began to delve into classic rock of the '60s in my teens (20 years too late, I have often lamented), this was one of the albums I picked up...yes, an actual LP. I used to have quite a collection of those, although it might not rival some...

In 1997, when the new remaster was released with the mono and stereo versions of the album put together on one CD, I rediscovered this album in all its glory. It's not perfect--what debut album is?--but it was pretty damned good for a first record (can't say that for all of them). The remaster featured the mono version Atco originally released in December of '66, which featured a different running order--"Leave" was track 3, side 1, and "Baby Don't Scold Me" appeared as track 5, side 2. The latter was a nice little song with Steve and Richie Furay sharing lead vocals, including an instrumental quote from the Beatles' "Day Tripper" (the familiar riff). And as the notes on the remaster indicate, mono was how the band intended this album: "We never had a chance at the stereo," they say, indicating that their producers (Charles Stone & Brian Green, IIRC) snapped up that chance for themselves; they proceeded to remix the album, removing "Baby Don't Scold Me" and replacing it with the band's big hit, "For What It's Worth," which became track 1, side 1, and "Leave" relegated to the position of track 5, side 2. That version, released as Atco SD33-200A in April of '67, is the one I bought some 20 years later on vinyl, and makes up the second half of the remastered CD.

The sound on both versions is much improved; the remaster is an HDCD (High Definition CD), with warmer sound than had been possible before in digital. Unfortunately, this CD is now out of print; the Buffalo Springfield Box Set, which Rhino released in 2001, rectified that by putting remastered versions of this album and Again, the band's more famous sophomore effort (and the one the critics like the best), together on the 4th disc in that set. That version of the first album includes the original mono running order, with "For What It's Worth" sandwiched in between the 2 albums as a bonus track.

What Rhino ought, IMO, to do this year, this being the 40th anniversary of Buffalo Springfield's forming, signing to Atlantic and recording/releasing their debut album, is remaster all 3 of the band's original studio albums, complete with bonus tracks from each LP's original studio sessions, especially since this is how classic albums are now being presented (Yes' Atlantic catalogue, Donovan's studio albums, still others too numerous to mention here). And maybe we can consider SACD remasters?

One of America's seminal 1960s rock bands, Buffalo Springfield's brief career yielded just three studio albums before its various members splintered into a variety of successful solo career and new group endeavors (including Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Poco, and Loggins & Messina). In fact, one of its chief architects bolted before this, their last album, was even completed. Fortunately for both the band and their fans, Neil Young left behind a pair of pop gems--the band showcase "On the Way Home" and the country-tinged "I Am a Child." Stephen Stills largely picked up the slack in Young's absence, penning a slate of tunes as ambitious as they were eclectic (his "Questions" here eventually evolving into CSNY's "Carry On"), while Richie Furay weighs in with three tunes, including the clear Poco precursor "Kind Woman." A bit more pop-oriented than its predecessor, the often haunting Buffalo Springfield Again, but nearly as memorable. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Best time around for Steve.......2007-01-30

Steve improves on everything, guitar, production, songwriting. Possibly His best performed and produced Springfield songs are here. Four days Gone, Pretty Girl Why, Special Care, Uno Mundo and The better than CSNY original version of Questions.

Near-classic Coda from a Classic Band.......2007-01-06

This was the swan song of one of the most influential groups in the history of rock, country-rock, and Americana music. The primary members - Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay - went on to found Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young as well as Poco, and Jim Messina later became half of Loggins and Messina. Legend has it that it was difficult to put together this last album due to bitter squabbling among the group members. And it is perhaps the "weakest" of their three albums, though there are some indispensable gems contained within. Richie Furay's "Kind Woman", for instance, is one of the prettiest country ballads ever written. Neil Young's two contributions, "On the Way Home" and "I Am a Child", are classics as well, the latter having the feel of a solo performance and shaping things to come for Neil. Three of Stephen Stills' songs, "Four Days Gone", "Special Care" and "Questions", are also worthy of classic status. ("Question" was later incorporated into CSN&Y's song "Carry On".) The rest of the twelve songs on this set are less memorable, but worth hearing to get the complete experience of the diversity of the band, as they even dabble in calypso and lounge-jazz stylings. It is interesting to note, too, that this is the only one of the three albums not represented in its entirety on the BS box set, so if you are a "completist", you will want to get this one. I think some enterprising label (Rhino?) could do justice to this great band by releasing a 2- or 3-CD set, which could include all three albums in their entirety, plus rare bonus and live tracks not included in the box set.

Last time was a good time.......2006-05-01

Forget about the discord and solo effort throwaway song claims. This is an album of adult sensibilities delivered with youthful enthusiasm. The songs are lovingly crafted and still resonate with me after almost 40 years. This album is a classic and a gem. Buffalo Springfield was a supergroup before that word was invented. I would give it four and a half stars.

An Uneven Affair!.......2006-03-25

Buffalo Springfield's last album is a somewhat uneven affair. Neil Young was out of the band before the album was finished, and he only contributes 2 and a half songs. Vocally he is only audible on the fine country-styled "I Am a Child". Young's opening track ( sung by Furay?) "On the Way Home" is another highlight.

With Young out, it was up to Steven Stills and Richie Furay to come up with new material. Stills is a fine songwriter, but some of his songs here sound a little uninspired. The light "Pretty Girl Why" is a pleasant classical Buffalo Springfield type song. "Special Care" ( the "heaviest" track on the album and "Questions" are both great recordings.

Richie Furay has penned two fine ( and two weak ) songs for the album. The catchy "Merry-Go-Round" is a fine song that may have had hit-potentials. His closing track "Kind Woman" is a strong country ballad - actually there is also a lot of "soul" in the song, and I would have loved to hear Otis Redding do a version.

The rest of the album is more or less throwaways. One is almost unlistenable ( the sirupy "The Hour of not Quite Rain")

But with at least 6 strong tracks this is a must have for any fan of Stills and Young.

Stills the One.......2006-02-24

Patched together by Jim Messina after the band had broken up, this is still worth tracking down for Stills' compositions, which dominate the set. "Special Care" smokes; the draft-dodger lament, "Four Days Gone," is powerful; and the hard-rockin' "Questions" does just that: it rocks harder than CSNY's version (they re-recorded it as the outro of "Carry On" on Deja Vu). Neil checks in with two tunes: the transcendent "I Am a Child" and "On the Way Home," which finds Richie Furay handling lead vocals. The weakest moment? The insipid "In the Hour of Not Quite Rain," which features lyrics penned by the winner of a radio contest.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Though they're recognized as a seminal influence on American rock music (variously fostering the careers of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, CSN&Y, Richie Furay, Poco, and even Loggins & Messina), L.A.'s Buffalo Springfield were perpetually star-crossed by personal squabbles and legal travails during their two-year tenure. Even this extensive four-disc overview was delayed for a decade by disagreements among the Springfield alums. Arranged chronologically, the set offers up a wealth of previously unreleased demos by band mainstays Young, Stills, and Furay, mostly spare acoustic performances (a number of which didn't make the final cut on the band's three albums) that challengingly deconstruct the Springfield's savory blend of folk rock, blues, country, and psychedelia. Young's work is a particular revelation; his songs reveal a wizened, often weary mindset that belies the fact he wasn't yet 21 at the time of the band's inception. Disc 4 is devoted to complete, digitally remastered versions of the band's first two albums (the debut in Young and Stills's original, preferred mono mix), which makes for convenient listening, even if it duplicates much of the previous three discs. There's also a complete absence of live tracks; that's unfortunate, as the band's stage performances have achieved legendary status. Still, this anthology is filled with gratifying surprises, from Young's always revealing work to Stills's roots-conscious craftsmanship (and quirky collaborations like their unreleased Beach Boys-meets-Folkways instrumental "Kahuna Sunset") to Furay's sweet pop tenor. --Jerry McCulley

It could have been better.......2007-07-25

Neil Young and his overblown ego compiled this, so there are more Neil Young tunes and more variation on those tunes than anyone else. He was my least favorite in the band..I much prefer Furay and Stills. Richie Furay seems to be the only one who is not totally full of himself and is appreciative of what the band had done to music and his friendship with the surviving members continue.
His book on Buffalo Springfield seems like a fair representaion of what went one and he is not one to place blame. He always has a respectful view on what happened.
He is a Pastor now and a devout Christian..and if for some reason that puts you off...you should still read his autobiography.
He just seemed like the right guy to tell the honest story and he should have been the one to put this collection together.

The most legendary song was left out.......2007-02-16

I'm a rabid Buffalo Springfield fan and have covered their music in a number of bands. I remember listening to Stereo X FM Underground while growing up in SoCal in the 60's and from time to time they would play the 11-minute version of Bluebird. The 9-minute version exists on the 1971 compilation vinyl (I have it), but unfortunately the full 11-minute version wasn't included on this boxed set. I spoke with Stills a few years ago at Summer NAMM in Nashville and he told me the master tape containing the 11-minute version still exists but that he didn't want it on the boxed set because the final jam falls apart. Still for those of us who are major fans of the Buffalo Springfield, this would not have mattered. What we want is special historical music insights and golden moments, and the 11-minute version would have gone a long way to making a so-so boxed set into a far better collector's treasure.

Stampede on the Box Set.......2007-02-04

A great issue this one, and anyway the only way to get some of the "Unrelease Stampede"'s track in an audible way different from the LP.
"Stampede" was never meant to be a release of Buffalo Springfield, but only a collection of jams, demos and outtakes taken in the period beetween theire first and second official LPs. ATCO relesed it first on vynil, placing on front cover a photo that could be used later for "Again" album and giving it a catalog number (33-226).
Anyway, Box Set re-issues some tracks appeared firt on "Stampede", but not all of them, 'cause "Stampede" was just an "arctifact" created by ATCO. Wath follows is a list os songs you can find in Box Set appeared in "Stampede"

1)Neighbour don't worry #1 :Neighbour don't you worry (remix) DISC 1
2)Down to the wire #1 :not on the box set - alternative vocal line up (single voice)
3)Do I have to come... :not on the box set - alternative vocal line up (coral voice)
4)Instrumental #1 :not on the box set
5)Instrumental #2 :Buffalo Stomp (raga) DISC 2

poor collection.......2006-10-17

I've seen this group perform in person. They brought the house down. I brought this box set hoping to get most of the music they did. I was kinda dissappointed in the box set. Why didn't they put in live tracks in the fourth CD. Instead putting the same songs they had in the other CD's? You are better off in buying the single CD's, then spending the sixty dollars or so on this box set. Even though they only had a two year stint they had big influence in the music of that era and even today.

Rare White Buffalo .......2006-03-10

Ok, i'll admit it, i have been a Buffalo Springfield fan since their 1st album came out. I have all their issues on vinal (eh?). What makes the box set cool is the demos and out takes. But if your not an almost rabid fan, buy the three albums.

Product Description

For a brief period of time between (about 1966 and 1972, give or take), the Grass Roots were a hit machine: fourteen Top 40 hits, a handful of gold singles, including one tune (Lets Live For Today) that iconically captures its time as clearly as Buffalo Springfields For What Its Worth or Jefferson Airplanes White Rabbit. In the hands of producer Steve Barri, the Grass Roots had grown from a hastily assembled cover band to a full-fledged writing and performing force. Despite having lost lead guitarist Creed Bratton earlier in the year, the band gained keyboardist Dennis Provisor, who turned out to be a valuable addition to the lineup. The first single for the album came out before the rest of the album had been finished, and it was a smash: Id Wait A Million Years. When the record was finally finished, there was another Top 25 track lurking in the grooves: Heaven Knows. But dont overlook such underrated pop gems as Out Of This World and Melinda Love. The latter proves, if youll pardon the double negative, that theres no song that cant be improved with hand claps.

The Grass Roots.......2006-06-19

Don't have the CD remaster but I have a very good vinyl copy of this album . This is definetly the best normal Grass Roots release . Really not a weak cut on it . highly reccomend this if you are a Grass Roots fan .

This Grass Roots GEM finally makes it to CD... .......2006-06-04

Finally, this GREAT LP by The Grass Roots is available on CD...
"Leaving It All Behind" is loaded with some great songs... not only 3 of The Grass Roots major hits, Wait A Million Years, Heaven Knows, and Walking Through The Country... but some of their best pop songs, like Out Of This World, I'm Living For You Girl, Melinda Love... This LP was also the start of Dennis Provisors history with the band... Dennis was the most prolific song writer of the band...
This CD is great and hopefully only the start of other GREAT Grass Roots lps being released on CD... like: "Move Along"
"More Golden Grass", "Lovin' Things", "Alotta Mileage" and "Golden Grass"...

The GRASS ROOTS Pop Sound Kicks into High Gear!.......2005-12-08

First time on CD! And it's a very limited run so obtain while you can.
We've been waiting forever for the non-compilation Grass Roots CD's to see the light of digital day (only 3 others so far) and Hip-O Select has done a great job with this one.
It was here on this album that the formerly folkie/pop group completed the transition to punchy pop. Given the full Jimmie Haskell horn treatment and radio friendly pop production fourishes, Steve Barri turns The Grass Roots into an irresistable hit making machine. And it's not just the 3 Top 40 hits that shine here.
(1. I'd Wait a Million Years 2. Heaven Knows 3. Walkin' Thru The Country)
There are other delights that could easily have been hits, like "Out Of This World" and "Back To Dreamin' Again." New keyboardist Dennis Provisor makes his debut and his contributions are noteworthy, although he would become more of a presence later. He's got 2 songs here but on the next project "More Golden Grass" he would write or co-write about half the album. Provisor's soulful pipes added a new dimension to the group on both lead and shadow vocals.

This group had 14 Top 40 hits and their Best Of compilations always sold well but their regular album releases were marginal sellers at best. And that's a shame because there is lots more to enjoy BEYOND THE HITS if you like 60s/70s feel good pop as "Leaving It All Behind" proves. This is a very satisfying listen from start to finish and there are 2 or 3 essentials here that didn't make the cut for the excellent Grass Roots "Anthology" on Rhino (now out of print).

Here's hoping that more of the Grass Roots catalog will come to CD. There are still several titles that are begging for release. Especially:
"Move Along" (probably their best album)
"More Golden Grass"
"Lovin' Things"

It would be nice to have the other two obscure albums as well,
("Alotta Mileage" and "Grass Roots") but don't hold your breath on that.

Although the Byrds receive more credit (and perhaps rightfully so), Buffalo Springfield, in some respects, were just as responsible for the country-rock and singer/songwriter explosion that continued through the full flight of the Eagles and later mutated into '90s neo-country. This 1966 debut reveals the precocious songwriting talents of both Neil Young and Stephen Stills; check out Stills's Beatlesque "Sit Down, I Think I Love You" and Young's weird (for '66!) but classic "Burned." Their next album, Again, is widely considered their best effort, but this is an excellent debut, made even stronger with the addition of their hit, the single-only "For What It's Worth." The CD offers both stereo and mono versions of each track. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews:

fine debut. .......2007-03-21

stephen stills "for what it's worth" is, of course, a classic song. "burned," neil young's strongest effort for this album, is another classic song. the rest of it is all very good. i would say that it does sound a bit dated, however;, and that this one is mostly for fanatics of 60's music. your average "artic monkeys" fan is not going to find this a good match for their musical sensiblities. better was on the way from buffalo springfield. their next album, "buffalo springfield again" is an all out rock masterpiece that everybody should own, whatever your age or inclinations.

Buffalo Springfield - self-titled (Atco).......2007-02-02

Originally saw the blessed light of day in 1967, some oldie fans may not realize that Buffalo Springfield actual had several full length albums out. Can't believe these guys had JUST one hit. Anyway,this twelve track self-titled CD reissue has several should - have / could - have - been hits as far as I'm concerned. Cuts like "Go And Say Goodbye", the Beatles - like "Sit Down I Think I Love You", "Everybody's Wrong", "Burned", the jamming bluesy "Leave" and "Pay The Price" (with it's catchy riffs) along with their sole hit "For What It's Worth" all make this disc a keeper. It's obvious this band was a heavy influence on later artists such as the Eagles, Gram Parsons, BoDeans and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Recommended.

For what its worth...they need a better producer.......2007-01-30

A very impressive set of songs here. The only thing that could of improved this record was a better production. The production here is horrible, you can't even make out what the great Bruce Palmer is doing on bass. IT's worth it for the talent and great set of songs.

Decent, but Again is far better.......2006-11-29

Okay, so For What It's Worth is, well... For What It's Worth. There's not much I can say to do the song justice. Needless to say, it's awesome. The problem is that nothing else on this record is - not even the Neil Young stuff (I'm a big Neil Young fan, which explains why I tend to center on his songs when I review Springfield). Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing and Flying on the Ground is Wrong are charming, and both hint at Neil's later talents. But both are ruined by Ritchie Furay vocals - I'm not a big Furay fan, but at least he didn't write anything. That leaves Stills to pick up the slack, and I'm afraid he does a slipshod job - I like Everybody's Wrong and Burned (not to mention For What It's Worth), but can't really get into Sit Down I Think I Love You; Go and Say Goodbye; or Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It). The rest is standard-issue folk-pop, pleasant and not without its charms, but the casual fan (such as me) will probably feel vaguely ripped off if they buy this one.

"Steve is the leader, but we all are".......2006-08-01

Those who have an original vinyl copy of this album will remember the "liner notes," i.e. a collection of the various band members' favourite colours, favourite places, their zodiac signs and random thoughts (the comment about Stephen Stills showing up in his "profile"). When I began to delve into classic rock of the '60s in my teens (20 years too late, I have often lamented), this was one of the albums I picked up...yes, an actual LP. I used to have quite a collection of those, although it might not rival some...

In 1997, when the new remaster was released with the mono and stereo versions of the album put together on one CD, I rediscovered this album in all its glory. It's not perfect--what debut album is?--but it was pretty damned good for a first record (can't say that for all of them). The remaster featured the mono version Atco originally released in December of '66, which featured a different running order--"Leave" was track 3, side 1, and "Baby Don't Scold Me" appeared as track 5, side 2. The latter was a nice little song with Steve and Richie Furay sharing lead vocals, including an instrumental quote from the Beatles' "Day Tripper" (the familiar riff). And as the notes on the remaster indicate, mono was how the band intended this album: "We never had a chance at the stereo," they say, indicating that their producers (Charles Stone & Brian Green, IIRC) snapped up that chance for themselves; they proceeded to remix the album, removing "Baby Don't Scold Me" and replacing it with the band's big hit, "For What It's Worth," which became track 1, side 1, and "Leave" relegated to the position of track 5, side 2. That version, released as Atco SD33-200A in April of '67, is the one I bought some 20 years later on vinyl, and makes up the second half of the remastered CD.

The sound on both versions is much improved; the remaster is an HDCD (High Definition CD), with warmer sound than had been possible before in digital. Unfortunately, this CD is now out of print; the Buffalo Springfield Box Set, which Rhino released in 2001, rectified that by putting remastered versions of this album and Again, the band's more famous sophomore effort (and the one the critics like the best), together on the 4th disc in that set. That version of the first album includes the original mono running order, with "For What It's Worth" sandwiched in between the 2 albums as a bonus track.

What Rhino ought, IMO, to do this year, this being the 40th anniversary of Buffalo Springfield's forming, signing to Atlantic and recording/releasing their debut album, is remaster all 3 of the band's original studio albums, complete with bonus tracks from each LP's original studio sessions, especially since this is how classic albums are now being presented (Yes' Atlantic catalogue, Donovan's studio albums, still others too numerous to mention here). And maybe we can consider SACD remasters?

Album Description

Buffalo Springfield finally get their just due with their first tribute album. "Five Way Street" features 21 artists from all over the world giving it up for five guys named Richie, Bruce, David, Stephen and Neil. This tribute features extensive liner notes from noted rock scribe John Einarson, author of two outstanding books for fans of mid/late 60s rock, "Mr. Tambourine Man: The Story of the Byrds & Gene Clark" and "Desperados: The Roots Of Country Rock".

This project has been in the works for almost two years and its fruit is falling from the tree into fans' hearts and ears. Artists appearing include Maplewood, The Kennedys, Noctorum (featuring Marty Wilson-Piper), Western Electric (featuring Sid Griffin), Last Train Home, Diesel Park West, Jeff Larson, The Gripweeds, Byrds Of A Feather, Walter Clevenger, and many more. Buffalo Springfield was together for less than two years and released 3 albums, but their influence in that time bears sweet, long-lasting fruit today with countless bands being influenced by their unique brand of Southern California-styled psychedelic folk-rock.

"Five Way Street" pays homage to their legacy and far reach into the influence of modern-day rock `n roll.

The Soup Is Made From Scraps.......2004-02-14

Ah, what could have been. The final Buffalo Springfield album comes up slightly short of their legendary second lp (Buffalo Springfield Again). If you didn't know any of the history of this record, you would find the breadth and scope of this record to be truly amazing, rivalling the Beatles White Album. Smart pop (On The Way Home), latin bounce (Uno Mundo), stadium rock (Special Care), beautiful country (Kind Woman), and Neil Young (I Am A Child) to name a few. They sould like different bands, almost.

To know the story is to know that essentially they were 3 bands at this point. Stephen Stills did most of his songs by himself with studio musicians. Neil Young had little to do with the record except his tracks. Richie Furray and Jim Messina worked on their tracks.

Be that as it may, throw this in your cd player and cruise on down the road. You're going to love the journey. And these songs and performances are so good, they are going to stay with you whereever you go.
