Negative Positive
Title: At Long Last
Review: This Buffalo Springfield boxed set finally pulls together almost all the fabled songs that were recorded yet never released, along with compelling alternative takes and early demos. Lots of great surprises, including "Down, Down, Down" which eventually morphs into "Broken Arrow," an early acoustic version of "Hung Upside Down", and various takes on "Flying on the Ground is Wrong." Neil Young's songwriting genius really shows.I docked it one star for not including the extended and legendary version of "Bluebird" found on their early 1970s 2-LP anthology (long out-of-print), featuring jamming guitars versus the banjo close we are used to. Another fault is the lack of background on the songs themselves, relying instead on a period piece, fan magazine type booklet that resembles the "Last Time Around" album artwork.
Is the review positive or negative?
