The remastered original album is featured in the new box on both CD and 180-gram LP. With this Deluxe Edition, the road to Déjà Vu can be explored via demos, outtakes, and alternates. It remained in the Billboard chart for 88 weeks, and paved the way for the success of the four solo albums released by CSNY in its wake (Young's After the Gold Rush, the self-titled Stephen Stills, Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name, and Nash's Songs for Beginners). Déjà Vu was the 11th best-selling LP of 1970 and attained a Gold certification just two weeks after its release. "Teach Your Children" wasn't far behind, at No. "Woodstock" was the biggest hit on the Hot 100, reaching No.

Ultimately, Déjà Vu boasted two songs each from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, plus one Stills/Young co-write and "Woodstock." Drummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Greg Reeves appeared on most of the album (and received billing on its front cover) while Jerry Garcia lent his talents to Nash's "Teach Your Children." John Sebastian appeared on the title track. One of the significant exceptions to that rule was their searing rendition of Mitchell's "Woodstock," recorded at a full-band session. The bandmates, as ever dealing with interpersonal tensions, initially recorded most of the material solo, with the others adding their contributions later. But from all this strife, some of the foursome's most beautiful and deeply-felt music emerged. New recruit (and Stills' old Buffalo Springfield sparring partner) Young brought his own baggage. Stills even compared the sessions to "pulling teeth." Nash had split with Joni Mitchell, the inspiration for "Our House." Stills and Judy Collins had also broken up, and David Crosby's girlfriend Christine Hinton was tragically killed in a car accident. But the creative process was arduous and the atmosphere much changed since the first album was recorded. The March 1970 release built on the success of its predecessor, reaching the zenith of the Top LPs chart and yielding three top 40 singles. Now, on May 14, Rhino and Atlantic Records are delivering fans a long-awaited expanded edition of this seminal rock classic as a 4CD/1LP set featuring 28 previously unreleased tracks. Roughly ten months after the release of CSN came Déjà Vu: the debut of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
But rather than follow the LP up in an expected manner, the trio of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash made their supergroup even more super, and more unpredictable, with the addition of Neil Young. Both "Marrakesh Express" and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" reached the top 30 of the Hot 100 and became FM radio perennials.
6 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and the top 20 of the year's best-selling records. Crosby, Stills, and Nash's eponymous debut was one of the most auspicious and omnipresent records of 1969, a remarkable and harmony-rich affair featuring such era-defining material as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express," "Guinnevere," "Wooden Ships," "Long Time Gone," and "Helplessly Hoping." CSN blended folk, country, jazz, rock, and a dash of pop into an often-imitated but never-duplicated sound.
