Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Déjà Vu: 50th Anny Deluxe Ed. 180g Vinyl LP + 4CD
50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Vinyl LP + 4CD Reissue featuring New 2021 Remaster Plus Largely Unissued Demos, Three discs of outtakes, demos and alternates from the original recording sessions, largely previously unissued.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Déjà Vu was the most-anticipated new album in America in 1970. More than 50 years later, it's one of the most famous albums in rock history with legendary songs, including "Carry On" and "Teach Your Children," that still resonate today. Atlantic Records honors the intense creative journey that led to this milestone album with an expansive vinyl LP/4CD collection that includes a pristine version of the original album on both 180-gram vinyl and CD, plus hours of rare and unreleased studio recordings that provide incredible insight into the making of the record.
The Déjà Vu: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is presented in a 12 x 12 hardcover book style bound jacket, 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.
Crowe recalls in the liner notes that "Déjà Vu caught the zeitgeist perfectly" and "might just be the legendary band's most accurate portrait of their fiery individualism." Of this new Deluxe Edition, Crowe opines: "50 years later, with the sonic aperture fully opened, it's a wide-screen look at the big picture of Déjà Vu, with more music, including a batch of surprises, unseen photos, and a lot more clarity."
On the new anniversary edition, the album's original 10 tracks are joined by 38 more to add nearly two-and-a-half hours of music that includes demos, outtakes, and alternate takes – most of which are previously unreleased. Among them is "Know You Got To Run," the first song the quartet recorded during its first session on July 15 at the house Stills was renting from Peter Tork in Studio City.
Other unreleased highlights include the demo for Crosby's "Almost Cut My Hair"; Stills' outtake for "Bluebird Revisited"; and Young's alternate version of "Helpless" featuring harmonica. Also making its debut on the set is a delightful version of "Our House" that features Nash singing with the song's inspiration, Joni Mitchell.
