Their second album "Buffalo Springfield Again" is in my world one of the better American albums from those days with its beautiful blend of hard rock, psych and melodically catchy. This debute is like from a different world - soft folk pop, rather typical such for the period, stylewise similar to Mamas & Papas or even Peter, Paul & Mary. All memebers had folky backgrounds - e.g. Steven Stills and Richard Furay here just out the Greenwich Village folk combo Au Go-Go Singers (https://monolover.blogspot. com/2014/02/they-call-us-au-go-go-singers-r-25280.html ) and this reminds more of that than the upcoming ravishing BSA. To my ears a good folk album, but not giving me the same buzz. The copy shown here is a second press. After the non-LP "For What It's Worth" 45 started to sell the label withdrew the first album issue, replaced "Baby Don't Scold Me" with that and rearranged the tracks. First press copies are now getting rare and sold for bigger bucks, but since FWIW is the one cut here that goes all in with me I can forget about rarity and monetary queries and enjoy this instead. First version also initially issued on vinyl in Canada and a couple of European countries, this second has spread over the world from 1967 on vinyl, 4-track, cassette and CD. Japan 1997 CD (Elektra/ATCO AMCY-2387) came with mono mix of the premiere issue and stereo of the second. US Second press mono had label as shown here and glossy cover. (YZÄ*) (ZHÄ*) (ÖXCÅ*)
