Arguably, America's greatest band. Think about it. It produced 4 iconic artists/singers/songwriters; Steve Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay and Jimmy Messina. These guys all existed in some form, within the confines of this band for a very short time. 3 records, the last one recorded in bits and pieces and not with all members included. This box set was long overdue. Chock full of alternate takes, previously unissued songs, mono, stereo, it's all here. How this band didn't become bigger than it was is a mystery. Under-promoted perhaps, constant issues with members. Neil was in, he was out. Bruce Palmer's constant deportation problems, so many different players as substitutes. It was tough to get a cohesion necessary for that rise. What struck me is just how much these guys could rock. There's more than enough evidence on these 4 CD's. Disappointed that the long version of Bluebird was omitted. Stills apparently never liked it, hence, it's not here. Too bad. Loved hearing Steve singing Richie's later Poco tune "What A Day"...Neil's demos of tunes that would eventually find their way onto his solo LP. The accompanying book is a literal bible of their work, tours, who played what and when. If you're a Springfield fan, you NEED this box.Read full review

This 4-CD box has all the released material by the Buffalo Springfield PLUS another album's worth of demos and alternate versions. The only thing I would have done differently is to put all the demos and alternates on one stand-alone disc in the box. But I can do that on my own via today's technology. A highly commended purchase!

The remastering is excellent. This box set could have been better if the entire recordings had included their third and final album. Plus, many sons were repeated in exactly the same version on the set, while others should have been included. This is the re-packaged version and the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Still an excellent value for one of the most prolific and talented country-rock groups in American history.

The Buffalo Springfield began a new combination of folk rock that set up the music and groups of the seventies. To listen to this collection one is amazed at the talent in vocals, instrumentation and composition of the main players, Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furray. Many of the demos made on this collection show themselves in solo work / albums down the road. A good valuable piece of musical history.
