Buffalo Springfield – BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD*****

For What Its Worth/Go & Say Goodbye/Sit Down I Think I Love You/Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing/Hot Dusty Roads/Everybody’s Wrong/Flying On The Ground Is Wrong/Burned/Do I Have To Come Right Out & Say It/Leave/Out Of My Mind/Pay The Price

Solid self titled debut album from the legendary Buffalo Springfield, which launched the careers of some of the biggest names in rock music. The lowly album chart placing does not do justice to the quality of the songs or the talent of the performers. For What Its Worth was a US No. 7 hit single. (US:80)

"This record is a great introduction to what the group had to come and portrays, more than any other album, their folk-rock style of music. It is full of easy to listen vocals and guitar playing."

"A delightful album, from start to finish, with not a weak track in sight. It displays the awesome songwriting talents of some of rocks future legends in Stills and Young. Arguably a pre-super group, with all going on to future fame, even after leaving a group as influential as this. One of those 'truly essential' 60s releases that epitomizes the period."

"Highlighting material from Stills and Young, the quintet's self-titled debut showcased a twelve song mixture of rock, folk and country influences. Recorded at breakneck speed, the material on Buffalo Springfield was impressive."

"This is an excellent collection to have. For What It's Worth is one of the anthems of the 1960s. The natural expression, the great vocals and guitar playing make this pre-CSN collection a real treat to have. Stephen Stills and Neil Young will not disappoint. This is truly a worthwhile collection to have. It also just plain sounds good. I love it."

"All in all, twelve rootsy pop/rock tracks ranging from great to fantastic without a stinker in the bunch. All of this without mention of Stills' For What It's Worth. Everything that can be said about that song has already been said, all I can add is that is deserves every ounce of praise it has attained."

"Very, very good debut album from these hippie 60s counter-culture dudes. You really feel a part of the 60s when listening to this. First album to feature the brilliant Neil Young. Even though it's now overshadowed by its superb follow up, its best bits should be remembered as some of Stills and Young's finest music."
