Buffalo Springfield - Demos (1966-1968)

To finish off what I was talking about with Buffalo Springfield, here are the rest of the band's acoustic demos. My last post was an album of all the unique demos the band did, meaning songs that didn't appear in any other form elsewhere. These are all the demos that were done elsewhere.

These songs appear to be slightly more realized in the sense that I didn't have to edit any of the songs to extend them, as I did with three songs in the unique demos album. However, like that album, I edited out any talking before or after the songs. As I said with the last album, none of that studio chatter was interesting, usually just the announcing of what take it was, or that recording was starting.

Everything here comes from the 2001 Buffalo Springfield box set this time around. There are some other alternates of full band versions, and live versions, and so on, but this is the last of the demos. It makes for a 40-minute long album.

For the album cover, I used a concert poster from 1967. However, the poster was stretched vertically, so I had to make some compromises to fit it in a square space. Mainly, there was a picture of some kind of giant industrial machine in the middle, and I could only show a part of it.

  3. Paul,
    The band was named after a steamroller built by the Buffalo Springfield company, so this is likely a view of that steamroller!
