''CSN'' is the eleventh album by Crosby, Stills & Nash, issued on Atlantic Records in 1991, not to be confused with the album of the same name released in 1977. A box set on four compact discs, it features material spanning 1968 through 1990 from their catalogue of recordings as a group in addition to selections from Crosby & Nash, Manassas, and their individual solo albums. It peaked at #109 on the ''Billboard'' 200, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.〔(RIAA Gold and Platinum searchable database retrieved 23 August 2015 )〕 The set is "dedicated to the loving memory of Cass Elliot, without whom most of this music may not have been made." ==Content== The presence of the group's occasional fourth member, Neil Young, is limited to fourteen tracks and only two of his compositions for the band, "Helpless" and "Ohio." Of its 77 tracks, 25 had been unreleased previously, although many were alternate takes, alternate mixes, or concert versions of previously issued songs. Highlights include a cover of the song "Blackbird" by The Beatles, the full-length take of "Almost Cut My Hair," and the demo of "You Don't Have to Cry," the first recording they made as Crosby, Stills & Nash. No tracks are taken from the following studio albums released either individually or in combination during the time period covered by the box: ''Down the Road''; ''Illegal Stills''; ''Whistling Down the Wire''; ''Long May You Run''; ''Innocent Eyes''; and ''American Dream''. Alternate versions of "Got It Made" and "Soldiers of Peace" from the latter do appear, as well as a quartet version of "Taken at All" from ''Whistling Down the Wire''. The orphan single by Young and Nash, "War Song," is also not included and is only available on the Neil Young archives box. The original recordings were produced David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young, with assistance from Howard Albert, Ron Albert, Craig Doerge, Bill Halverson, Chris Hillman, Stanley Johnston, Paul Rothchild, Dallas Taylor, and Joe Vitale. Audio engineers on the original recordings include Stephen Barncard, Niko Bolas, Ellen Burke, Larry Cox, Russ Gary, Don Gooch, Steve Gursky, David Hassinger, Andy Johns, Glyn Johns, Gary Kellgren, Henry Lewy, Elliot Mazer, Jim Mitchell, Tim Mulligan, and Doc Storch. The original masters were recorded at the following studios: A&M Studios, Britannia Studios, Devonshire Sound Studio, Wally Heider Studios, The Record Plant, Rudy Recorders, the Sound Lab, Sunset Sound, Sunwest Studio, Village Recorders, and Westlake Audio in Los Angeles; United Studio in Hollywood; The Record Plant in New York City; Wally Heider Studios, His Master's Wheels, and Rudy Recorders in San Francisco; The Record Plant in Sausalito; Criteria Sound Studios in Miami; Island Studios in London; Sol Studio in Maidstone, Kent; Stephen Stills' late 1960s home in Laurel Canyon, Graham Nash's early 1970s home in San Francisco, and Neil Young's Redwood Digital home studio at his ranch in Woodside, California. Live recordings are from the Filmore East in New York, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon, the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, and the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York. The selections were compiled for this set by Crosby, Stills, Nash, Gerry Tolman, and Yves Beauvais, with additional research by Joel Bernstein. The liner notes include an essay by writer Chet Flippo. Originally in a box set conforming to the size dimensions of a vinyl record, the set was reissued as a compact disc brick on August 13, 2013. The liner notes for the 2013 reissue do not indicate whether or not any additional mastering beyond that from 1991 was undertaken. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CSN (box set)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
