Déjà vu (Original Recording Remastered)

by

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Edit

"Deja Vu" is a timeless masterpiece of classic rock! It's the crowning achievement of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSN&Y), arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Much of their fame and durability over the past 30 years can be traced to this album, which was originally released on vinyl in 1970. It contains some of their most outstanding and famous songs, including the rock anthems "Carry On" and "Woodstock," David Crosby's tongue-in-cheek "Almost Cut My Hair," Stephen Stills' forlorn ballad "4 + 20," and the personal favorite of both my wife and me: "Our House." Every song shows CSN&Y's tremendous dynamism, versatility and musical maturity. Superbly intelligent lyrics, great guitar riffs (especially Greg Reeves' bass riff in the song "Deja Vu"), beautifully crafted harmonies, and Dallas Taylor's sizzling percussion all converge to make every song on this digitally remastered CD a rock masterpiece.

"Deja Vu" is one of the landmark albums of all time. It's also one of my personal favorites, and an essential CD, not only for fans of CSN&Y, but for all fans of rock and roll music.

I just purchased this cd because records are no longer used in our house. The turn tables are all broken and the records are just collecting dust. This was an old album I bought in the late 70's And played it all the time. The songs are all great,every one a masterpiece no question. I put in the new cd and what I got was a HUGE letdown. The sound is flat, compressed and lacks dynamics. This is a bad sounding disk, it is no comparison to the crisp, bright and dynamic sounding record. Thinking it could just be my imagination I called a friend mine who still uses a record player and he let me bring the album and cd over just to see what the comparison would sound like. There was no comparison. The cd says "remastered", that is a joke. Atlantic records did a terrible job in reproducing the sound. The record had a much better seperation of instruments. It had a more sensitive reading. All in all the cd just kinda lays there. Great songs lousy sound quality. The record did have pops and static like sound,( which all do) but it just was more alive and a wide open clear sound the cd lacked all of those things.
