Oakland's Vinyl Vault - So Far

Hello again! This week, we will be looking at one of the few compilation albums in my collection: So Far by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.



Release: August 19, 1974

This is not your typical compilation album. Mostly because Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young had only made ONE studio album together before this came out, and ONE non-album single. So how is it possible that they made a compilation album? Ah, well it turns out they also have songs that are from the Crosby, Stills & Nash (no Young) catalog. A catalog, that consisted of ONE album.

Yes, this is a compilation of two albums, and one non-album single (and its B-side). That is how much people loved Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I myself got the album because I wanted the non-album single, "Ohio," and I liked the cover art, which is a picture drawn by Joni Mitchell.

There's not much to say about the album musically. Obviously all the songs on it, with maybe the exception of "Find the Cost of Freedom," the B-side to "Ohio," are hits, otherwise they wouldn't be on a compilation album.

Anyway, here is that B-side, "Find the Cost of Freedom." Enjoy.
