Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield (4CD Box Set) (2019) Hi Res

Buffalo Springfield's time was short they formed in 1966 and split in 1968 but their legacy was vast. Some of their legend was cultivated in the ensuing decades, after founding members Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young went on to fame either on their own or with such groups as Poco and Manassas, but much of it rested upon "For What It's Worth," a protest song written and sung by Stills, that not only became their Top Ten breakthrough in 1967 but their enduring anthem, eventually serving as shorthand for all the political turmoil of the 1960s. So popular was "For What It's Worth," it threatened to obscure how instrumental Buffalo Springfield's original run of three albums were in reshaping the sound of rock & roll in the late '60s. Nominally a folk-rock band, Buffalo Springfield also showed a facility with country-rock, psychedelia, soul, and hard rock, all the while embracing the possibilities of the recording studios of Los Angeles. Buffalo Springfield Again, their 1967 masterwork, in particular showcased the group's expansive reach, and if that musicality didn't result in hits they never again cracked the Top 40 after "For What It's Worth" it certainly laid the groundwork for many aspects of the album rock of the 1970s.

This four CD box set takes the listener through the band’s chronological journey. Featuring demos, alternates, outtakes and studio masters. This reformatted box features the same audio content as the 2001 version.
