Neil Young & Graham Nash - "Birds" (Demo) [lyric video]

Το 1968 σχηματίσθηκαν οι CSN (Crosby, Stills & Nash). Έναν χρόνο αργότερα, τον Μάιο του 1969, κυκλοφόρησαν το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο τους. Στην συνέχεια προστέθηκε στην μπάντα ο Neil Young.

Το συγκρότημα έγινε κουαρτέτο υπό τ' όνομα Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young και στις 11 Μαρτίου του 1970 "έβγαλε" το album "Déjà vu", το οποίο γνώρισε τεράστια επιτυχία ιδιαίτερα σε ΗΠΑ, Γαλλία, Αγγλία, Γερμανία και Ελβετία με χρυσούς και πλατινένιους δίσκους.

Στα μέσα του τελευταίου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα (14 Μαΐου 2021) θα κυκλοφορήσει η ειδική έκδοση για την επέτειο των πενήντα ετών (αν και καθυστέρησε κατά ένα έτος) που θα περιλαμβάνει μπόλικα καλούδια...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Déjà vu Deluxe Edition features the album remastered on LP and 4-CDs of demos, outtakes, early versions, and alternate versions of songs recorded during the Déjà vu sessions.

Presented in a 12 x 12 hardcover book, the collection comes illustrated with rarely seen photos from the era and annotated by writer / filmmaker Cameron Crowe, whose revealing liner notes recount the making of the album through stories told by the people who were there, including David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young.»
