Crosby, Stills & Nash - "GUINNEVERE" Original Recording with Drums & Bass

[dvs2751]

Interesting, that being said, I'm so glad the song came as it did and not like this.

[peterzang]

whatever happened later doesn't matter. The album is a masterpiece. A shame how screwed up things became. Croz's first solo album and his first with Graham are also out of this world great.

[LaurenceEddy]

Ahhh! Cartoon album cover - superb!

[LaurenceEddy]

IMO better without bass/drum tack... it doesn't lay back enough. The guitar has all the rhythm it needs!

[MrSteveruiz]

freakin incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this version rocks. thanks

[doydy14]

They just rock no matter how you put it!!!

[jbahm112]

I love to throw this record on the turntable and chill out

[charadeyouareha]

the sound of their guitarwork. pioineering

[chickenlampbrent]

wow, what a chestnut!

[Mustangwild1]

This is the best version hands down IMO.

[MrClarkM]

Can't stop listening to this !

[1952FMS]

imo csn at their very best.

[TheOMEGANOX]

what an amazing find, epic....

[CerealMonogamist]

interesting, but i think they made the right decision to leave the percussion out for the release.

[Evelyn2ish]

I'm like newhomerambler. I was 16 when it came out and still enjoy listening to it. Hell, I'm just glad to be on this side of the grass...

Life's grand!

[Newhomerambler]

I agree,the drums don't really add much to the song. But I'm spoiled on the original.

[Newhomerambler]

This old fart was so lucky, to be there that year, when it came out! (maybe '70 or so), Definitely put a different twist on what had come before. And they are still going!

[sherrylynn70]

Have never heard this version..wow..awesome post..thank you SO much...love it..will never forget the first time I heard this album many moons ago..

[mujerado]

Don't like it. The drums add an obtrusive rhythm the original didn't have, makes it more pop-ish than it was on the release. IMO they were right to remove the drums & bass. It just doesn't float this way.

[chowpuppy]

@mujerado I agree 100%. When I read the description, I thought this was just going to be a studio edit of the version we all know. Actually, this version is a bit faster, the harmonies don't come across as well, and you can barely hear Crosby's most beautiful warbling on "shall be free." I also prefer the original, which I think of as a sad and haunting memory of a past love.  Still, it's always cool to hear an unreleased version, so props to steelyglenn.

[ChicagoKid5]

Yes, Wardell, that was Dallas Taylor on the back.

[probrojeffro]

Like, dude, the picture changed. Duuuuuuuuuude . . . ..

[ChicagoKid5]

I don't know where you found this, but I LOVE it!!!! Thanks a whole bunch.

[steelyglenn]

@ChicagoKid5 Yer welcome, Kid! :)

[nicodagger]

@steelyglenn Why would they remove the drums? I like it! Thanks!

[jipes]

@ChicagoKid5 It can be found on a triple CD outtakes of CSN containing lot's of alternate versions of their songs

[ChicagoKid5]

@jipes Can you tell me where I can find such a CD?

[jipes]

@ChicagoKid5 on Amazon for example

And a funny habit of removing their drummer from the album cover after he pissed them off...

Another nice upload, freng. As far as "Carry On" - are you referring to the Stills "remix"? I thought those were later overdubs... I'm pretty sure there's a version of The Lee Shore with drums as well. On Studio Archives 1969 or the Aurora Borealis sampler, I can't remember.

[probrojeffro]

@WardellGrayDotOrg Wasn't he the one looking out the window on another cover or on the back?
