Rock and Roll Hall of Famers David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash are revered for their peerless vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting and musical virtuosity. They shot to immediate superstardom with the 1969 release of their self-titled debut album. The collection spawned two Top 40 hits, "Marrakesh Express" and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and eventually went multi-platinum. In addition to the above mentioned singles, Crosby, Stills & Nash features some of their best known songs in "Wooden Ships," "Helplessly Hoping" and "Long Time Gone," a response to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. The album was very influential, defining the mid 1960's "Love & Peace" era and as much as any record, Crosby, Stills & Nash ushered in the early 1970's singer/songwriter boom. Everything on this album was done brilliantly; excellent musicianship, great lyrics and vocal harmonies that transcend the entire album. This is an album that should be in everyone's collection, much like a great piece of classical music, it is truly timeless. Audio Fidelity's 24K + Gold edition of this Crosby Stills And Nash masterwork bests all prior editions. The audiophile label specializes in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases and beautifully reproduced original graphics. As always, the original master tape was played back on a specially constructed vintage tube playback deck, with the analog masters put through the new "Kensei Audio Transformer," a process that adds even more life to the music. ************************************* Rolling Stone (7/26/69, p.36) - "This is an eminently playable record....The vocals are warm and full...with rich, complementary harmonies....Tasteful backing accompanies the superb compositions....the result is an especially satisfying work..."

Uncut (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "CSN defined themselves by chilling out and laying back, turning down the volume on the Byrds/Springfield amplifiers. In place of electric fizz and crackle came softer tones, richer layering." Dirty Linen (p.56) - "CSN showcased tight harmonies and innovative songwriting..."
