It was one of four high-profile albums released by each member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their chart-topping ''Déjà Vu'' album (along with ''Stephen Stills'', ''Songs for Beginners'', and ''After the Gold Rush''). It peaked at #12 on the ''Billboard'' 200. It has been in print continuously since its initial release. The album gained new recognition in 2010 when it was listed second on the Vatican's "Top 10 Pop Albums of All Time" as published in the official newspaper of the Holy See, L'Osservatore Romano.〔 ==Content== A large grouping of prominent musicians from the era appear on the record, including Nash, Young, Joni Mitchell, members of the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Santana. This ''ad hoc'' ensemble was given the moniker of "The Great Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra" by longtime Crosby associate Paul Kantner; many of the same musicians appeared on the latter's ''Blows Against The Empire'', recorded concurrently with Crosby's album. The album also features the only recorded appearance of David Crosby's reclusive brother, Ethan Crosby. Although the album garnered a share of prominent detractors—most notably Crosby's then-manager David Geffen and influential ''Village Voice'' rock critic Robert Christgau—and only a lukewarm review from Lester Bangs in ''Rolling Stone'', it was a modest commercial success, ultimately peaking at #12 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.〔 Two singles were taken from the album, "Music Is Love", which was released in April 1971 and peaked at #95 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100,〔 and "Orleans" which was released in July 1971.〔 The album has gained in critical appreciation since its release.〔〔 The album was released on compact disc on October 25, 1990, having been digitally remastered from the original master tapes, using the equipment and techniques of the day, by original engineer Stephen Barncard. A double-disc reissue appeared on November 6, 2006, with an audio disc remastered in HDCD, including a bonus track "Kids and Dogs," and a second DVD Audio disc of the original album remixed for 5.1 digital Surround Sound. Reviews of the most recent reissue place the album in the same influential company as the more baroque works of Nick Drake and Fairport Convention. 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「If I Could Only Remember My Name」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
