Buffalo Springfield Again (Unreleased pre-sales Stereo & Mono versions)

The second álbum from Buffalo Springfiled which name was "Stampede" was to be released in the spring 1967 to capitalize the hit: "For what it´s worth". A super hit recorded December 5 1966 and released on January 9.1967. the song reached Top Ten nationally, becoming one of the greatest rock hits the 20th Century. 
This great song was composed by Stephen Stills when witnessed the police violence ts in November, in which local law enforcement unfairly cracked down on the counterculture 'loiterers'. Influenced by the emerging madness and civil unrest of the 1960s..

But it was the same song that destroyed them because the band was not ready to attain superstardom so quickly, besides not bringing them very good luck. Since its publication the group was involved in problems that came one after the other such as the departure of vocalist/guitarist Neil Young had to briefly leave the group in January due to epileptic seizures,and bassist Bruce Palmer was arrested for marijuana possession and deported back to Canada. All this and more made the album "Stempede" was delayed first, being suspended afterwards.With the group almost separated, in mid-October, a different lp was compiled, called "Again". It was released on November 17.1967.

This is a reconstruction from a unreleased pre-sales version bit.ly/34hxe2 made only with composition from Stills & Young. The others three songs: "A Child's Claim to Fame", ”,”Sad Memory” and “God Time Boy” by Richie Furray, momentarily were out for being considered of inferior quality.

The opening track "Rock & Roll Woman" allegedly includes vocals by Crosby, who also  had a hand in its composition; whether true or not, Stills acknowledges the genesis of the song was from jamming with Crosby. Young's extended piece "Broken Arrow" begins with "Mr. Soul" a song recorded live in the studio. Followed by “Everydays” by Stephen Stills with Jim Fielder on bass, replacing absent Bruce Palmer. At the end you can hear a unreleased piece called: “Raga #1“. as closure of side A.

The B side opens with “Expecting to Fly,"it was for a Neil Young solo project rather than for Buffalo Springfield. Phil Spector Wrecking Crew associate Jack Nitzsche provided the musical arrangements for "Expecting to Fly"; it does not feature any members of the Springfield. Nitzsche would continue to work with Young through the early 1970s on both his solo debut album and his best-selling Harvest, also becoming a member of Young's backing bands Crazy Horse and The Stray Gators.“Bluebird“ is a 1973 extended version from 2nd Buffalo Springfield compilation album. Another song by Stills closes the album: “Hung Upside Down”.
