Pros: Nearly all their best in one place

Cons: Why wasn't "Baby Don't Scold Me" here?

Released in 1973,this double album was useful in bringing back to attention one the best folk-rock acts of the 60's,whose two most notable alumni,Neil Young & Steve Stills,were then(1973)at near their peak of visibility.The extensive liner notes ...give a good account of the groups breif,fractured yet nonetheless interesting history,and the set does include one rarity of note-an extended version of "Bluebird" which,while not as great as it was built up to be is still nice to have around.It would have been nice to have included"Baby Don't Scold Me"(originally on very early pressings of the groups debut,self-titled album,though quickly replaced with"For What It's Worth")and for many years a major rarity in the Springfield canon.Still,otherwise an excellant and thorough overview of a band that came and left too quickly but still managed to release enough worthwhile material to fill out four sides of vinyl with a lot of high quality stuff.
