BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD

AGAIN

Due in part to personnel problems which saw Bruce Palmer and Neil Young in and out of the group, Buffalo Springfield's second album did not have as unified an approach as their debut. Yet it doesn't suffer for that in the least -- indeed, the group continued to make major strides in both their songwriting and arranging, and this record stands as their greatest triumph. Stephen Stills' "Bluebird" and "Rock & Roll Woman" were masterful folk-rockers that should have been big hits (although they did manage to become small ones); his lesser-known contributions "Hung Upside Down" and the jazz-flavored "Everydays" were also first-rate. Young contributed the Rolling Stones-derived "Mr. Soul," as well as the brilliant "Expecting to Fly" and "Broken Arrow," both of which employed lush psychedelic textures and brooding, surrealistic lyrics that stretched rock conventions to their breaking point. Richie Furay (who had not written any of the songs on the debut) takes tentative songwriting steps with three compositions, although only "A Child's Claim to Fame," with its memorable dobro hooks by James Burton, meets the standards of the material by Stills and Young; the cut also anticipates the country-rock direction of Furay's post-Springfield band, Poco. Although a slightly uneven record that did not feature the entire band on several cuts, the high points were so high and plentiful that its classic status cannot be denied.

 BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD'S SECOND AND BEST ALBUM "AGAIN" VERY RARELY FOUND IN MONO AS THIS WAS PRESSED AT THE TIME WHEN MONO RECORDINGS WERE PHASED OUT. MUCH LIKE THE BEATLES MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR RELEASED ONLY WEEKS LATER.

THE COVER IS EXCEPTIONAL, AND STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP. VERY LITTLE WEAR WITH NICE CORNERS. LOWER OPENING SHORT SEAM SPLIT. THE DISC SHOWS NICE GLOSS, AND PLYBACK IS EXCEPTIONAL WITH VERY LOW LEVELS OF NOISE ONLY IN A FEW SPOTS. NO POPPING OR SKIPS. I PLAYED THIS ONE THROUGH TWICE ON MY DUAL TURNTABLE WITH ORTOFON CART- AMAZED AT HOW CLEAN IT PLAYS IN SPITE OF SOME SLEEVE AND A FEW NEEDLE MARKS. THIS IS A RARE ONE, SELDOM FOUND IN THIS CONDITION. MONOS ARE GREATLY OUTNUMBERED BY STEREOS BY AT LEAST 25 TO 1.1A STAMPER IN TRAIL OFF ON BOTH SIDES OF DISC.

60`S ATCO INNERSLEEVE IS NEAR MINT
