CSNY Deja Vu 50th anniversary reissue - May 14, 2021 *

Thank you for your insight - can you share more about the songs recorded, but not released?

 

I've always dug this mix.

 

Thank you Russ. So enlightening.

 

I first heard that on the Stills box set . I thought it was a remix
It is awesome sounding guitars and vocals.

 

I think this was my first CD box set. Great "Woodstock" mix, better than the one they chose for the LP.

 

UPDATE: Answering fan letters at NYA, Neil confirms CSNY anniversary edition, but no release date yet...

 

i was actually about to post i got wind from a source that neil and graham had worked something up for deja vu but no word what the bonus stuff is. i was told it appears a deluxe live set is in the works so deja vu might not contain any live material but it wasn't confirmed

 

from my source. exactly what i was told. "graham and neil reviewed material from the deja vu era for a deluxe release. there was some contact between them on what they felt was the strongest material from this era. it looks like something is planned for 4 way street so that might exclude the deja vu set from having live material. stills and crosby were also notified of this. not sure if that means after the material was picked or if they were asked for input on what to include"

 

would love love love to know who notified crosby......................

 

I'm sure that Graham is, in fact, the only member of CSNY involved in this project - I doubt that amid releasing Homegrown and preparing Archives v2, Neil has the time or the effort for CSNY...

 

My 2¢ - would much prefer a Deja Vu re-mix supplemented w studio recordings - run-throughs and outtakes - rather than live material. Save that for 4-Way 50th.

 

agreed....if they want to release live stuff put out the CSNY2K stuff that young put the kibosh on way back when.

 

probably just called his management

 

you think homegrown took up a large chunk of neils time?

 

THIS.

 

My thoughts now too. Seems there are plenty of demos, alternate mixes and studio outtakes to make a nice set for Deja Vu without dipping into live material which can be released separately on its own or as a deluxe 4-Way Street box set.

 

I agree with this 100%. I’d love the chance to buy both a Deja Vu box set featuring only studio bonus material and a separate deluxe version of 4 Way Street, hopefully featuring complete shows, even if that means a lot of duplication of the same songs. Make it like the recent Band of Gypsys box set: give us everything you recorded in 1970.

 

I have posted this before in another thread, but there is easily enough to make a expanded edition of Deja Vu...:

So, I thought it was jmportant to get 2 songs by all four (C/S/N/Y) on this, plus a couple of key live tracks, and all keeping it within a 1CD length of 78:30.

Unless things have changed, Donald "Buddha" Miller and his wife Cree manage CSN and possibly the individual members, so communication between the individual parties (i.e. Nash and Crosby) is probably not too complicated.

 

Any previously unreleased songs recorded in the studio to be included ?

 

Oh yeah, he must have worked long and hard on “Florida”

 

you simply cannot leave out 'ohio' on any expanded 'deja vu'. it is a must....although.......it does eliminate the need for 'so far'.......$$$$$$

 

yes you can. it’s not part of the sessions.

 

What I hope is that really new versions will be included.
For example, it is documented that CSNY worked on "Bluebird Revisited", "Change Partners", "So Begins The Task", "Blackbird", "When You Dance I Can Really Love", "Everyday We Live", "Birds "," Sugar Babe "

 

Watching Crobys documentary recently, there is previously unreleased full band demo of Lee Shore with Davids vocal - it is NOT the version that appears on "Studio archives" or Stephen's box set, could also be The Byrds?!
