Crosby Still Nash & Young 50th Anniversary ‘Déjà vu’ Is On The Way

Rhino Records will mark the 50th anniversary of the Crosby Stills Nash & Young classic ‘Déjà vu’ with an expanded 4-disc version in May.

‘déjà vu’ came one year after the Crosby Stills & Nash debut with the addition of Neil Young to the line-up. The four piece CSN&Y took 18 years to record the follow-up ‘American Dream’.

‘Déjà vu’ was released on 11 March 1970.

Rhino is previewing the album with an early release of ‘Birds’, a song that Neil Young would release soon after on his solo ‘After The Gold Rush’ album in September 1970.

According to Rhino:

This demo for “Birds” by Neil Young featuring Graham Nash was originally recorded during the sessions for Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young’s seminal album Deja Vu. The deluxe version of Deja Vu, featuring hours of outtakes, alternate versions, and demos, is available to pre-order now at https://Rhino.lnk.to/DejaVu50ID. Presented in a 12 x 12 hardcover book, the collection comes illustrated with rarely seen photos from the era and annotated by writer/filmmaker Cameron Crowe, whose revealing liner notes recount the making of the album through stories told by the people who were there, including David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young.
