by drg1949 21 Apr, 2018 Timeless i bought this LP on vinyl in 1972... having heard one weekend whilst visiting friends in London. Always a fan of G Nash(Hollies) whilst buzzed when listening to the Byrds (D Crosby) and later, Buffalo Springfield (S Stills). I was prompted into buying the recording on cd having watched a TV programme on Lauren Canyon, Los Angeles, and the musicians who lived there in the late 60's and early 70's. It certainly stands the test of time reflecting that moment in time in 1968 when they recorded it - I was 1st Year at Manchester Polytechnic then my musical horizons about to be opened......

The debut album from CSN still sounds fresh , timeless folk ...rock melodies and vocal harmonies combine to send you back in time , to 1969 . Love the Marrakesh express track ,it's jaunty musical vibe , and lyrics about traveling by train under clear Moroccan sky's really does transform you to another country. So sad that Crosby recently died , but this album stands as a fitting tribute to a great Singer songwriter.

Along with Sgt. Peppers, Let it Bleed, Tap...estry, Dark Side of the Moon, and Led Zepplin I, this is one of the iconic albums of the Woodstock generation. No one has bested the harmonies and lyrics of these songs and they stand the test of time as well as any music by any of the bands these musicians originated with. This remastered version includes 4 unreleased songs and is in tne high quality HDCD mode as well. A true classic in every sense and a watershed album that brought melodic rock back to center stage in the 1970's. Light a candle, play this album, and go back in time to the days when peace, love, and understanding were a true goal for a new generation.
i've been planning to get this album for 40... years! Better late than never. Nice dark analog mix on this one.

I have this on vi...nyl but it is nice to have it on a CD as the record was very heavily played and a bit worse for wear.
