Record Store Day 2026 – 4 LPs Box Set

Crosby, Stills & Nash - The Solo Albums

"The enormous success of their 1969 debut LP as a trio turned David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash into superstars. The following year, after their buddy Neil joined and the whole thing imploded, the original three all headed into the studio to cut solo albums. Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name, Stills’ Stephen Stills, and Nash’s Songs for Beginners are all extraordinary albums; in the decades that followed, none of them ever quite managed to top them on their own. For the first time ever, all three of them are packaged together in this four-LP box set, which also features a full record of demos, live tracks and stray songs from that era. In some ways, this is the 1971 CSN album that never happened."
