As many of you might remember, last year we announced
the release of "Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young",
a 3-book set containing the CSN (and sometimes Young)
story from the VERY beginning and tons of informations
about their concerts, their discography, their TV and radio
appearances.
Actually this is gonna be sort of a CSNY encyclopedia.
A change of publisher and substantial addition to the text
forced us to postpone the release of this project, which we are now
planning to publish in the Fall of 2001.
The set consists of 3 volumes collected in a cardboard box.
vol. 1 - Crosby, Stills & Nash - Their early years
The first volume of this project will focus about the very early years of
CSN
and about the story of the Hollies, the Byrds and the Buffalo Springfield
(approx. 180 pages with - more or less - 50 never-seen-before photos).
vol. 2 - Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young - Biography
The second volume will feature the complete CSN story from the beginning in
1968 until 2001
(approx. 500 pages with - more or less - 180 never-seen-before photos).
vol. 3 - CSN&Y: Forty years of music and a trunk of memories
The third volume will contain a detailed discography, videography,
bibliography, a complete guest-appearance list
(on other artists' albums), a concert-chronology (tours, benefit-concerts,
live guest-appearances, set-lists, line-ups),
a detailed "radio and TV appearance" database and a comprehensive list of
CSN songs covered by other artists
(approx. 300 pages full color with never-seen-before photos, rare picture
sleeves, tickets, handbills, posters, etc.).
The set is enriched by many first-hand anecdotes and memories contributed by
musicians, producers, managers,
photographers, CSN associates, fans and by members of "The Lee-Shore", a
CSN internet mailing-list.
