They've done some great stuff. Unfortunately, as a group and as solo artists, they've also done a lot of very mediocre work. Over time, each new album has typically had less and less music worth buying.After you've bought their first 2 albums ("Crosby, Stills, and Nash", and "Deja Vu"), it gets pretty difficult to decide whether to buy anything else. I like about half of the album Daylight Again (released in 1982), and maybe half of CSN (1977). The rest of their albums just aren't worth buying, even though there are a few excellent songs sprinkled among them. This 4-disc collection is superb. Assuming that you already own the first 2 albums, you can buy this collection and own almost everything they've done as a group (and most or all of what they've done as solo artists) that's worth owning. Almost the only song missing that I'd REALLY like to see on here is one...

But, many of them are simply not worth the money (the new Eagles set comes to mind). However, the CSN Box truly delivers the goods.There are basically 3 functions of a good box set: 1. To provide a career retrospective, gathering material from an artist's entire catalog of music 2. To offer the music in remastered form, in better quality sound 3. To unearth unreleased material The CSN box set matches all the criteria. This collection shows how good they were together and apart, offering solo material from all three members, plus side projects like Manassas (Stills band with Chris Hillman of the Byrds). Some box sets boast "unreleased material" that really should've been left UNRELEASED. Not true with this set, "Homeward Through the Haze" is far superior to the released Crosby-Nash version, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" including drums is staggering, and the unearthed CSN&Y...

No collection of CSN(Y) is satisfactory without it; it's a wonderful career summary (up to 1991) of all the various foursome/threesome/duo/solo configurations. True, it does skimp on Neil Young stuff (Pushed It Over The End or Through My Sails would have been welcome) but Neil's forthcoming Archives multi-CD set should take care of all that. More surprising omissions include all the rumoured Deja Vu out-takes not to mention more recent gems such as Crosby's Compass, but what you do get can't really be faulted (excepting variances of personal taste). Highlights include a CSNY version of The Leeshore (1969 with 1991 extra vocal harmonies); alternates of Helplessly Hoping and Suite: Judy Blue Eyes; a CNY live take of Man In The Mirror; Crosby & Hash's version of Joni Mitchell's Urge For Going; a stripped down live take on Got It Made; both sides of the Ohio single and an unedited Almost Cut My Hair plus...
