Article: The Best Version Of… Crosby, Stills & Nash Self-Titled Debut

Thanks, Josh!

 

Now I have to try and figure out which version I have...

 

Anybody know how to "back-calculate" from the code A2  19117 to the mastering?  Discogs tells me that SD 191117 is a USA release, but not the mastering.  No info about 'A2'

The date 2006 and Rhino label are a dead giveaway on the Grundman version, as well as the presence of Bonus Tracks #11-14. It was also an HDCD if I'm not mistaken.

 

The Atlantic label version (1993 gold disc Gastwirt mastering) that was then released as an aluminum CD in 1994 will only have 10 tracks, the original album line-up, no bonus tracks, not an HDCD, not Rhino.

 

 

So anything prior to 1993 cannot be the Gastwirt mastering ??

I prefer the with Neil (or "under the thumb of Neil") albums...

 

He was a bit like Steve Jobs, a giant force that took over or at least affected the surrounding space, which consisted of musicians, not Higgs particles.

 

In the future, denizens of some distant galaxy will detect his gravity waves.
