Replay is the second retrospective released by Crosby, Stills & Nash, appearing in 1980 on the Atlantic Records label. A strange compilation, not a "greatest hits" as it contains several album cuts taken from outside the parent CSN discography, and misses charting singles in "Teach Your Children," "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," and "Woodstock." This may have been deliberate, however, to avoid duplication with songs on the still available So Far. Replay contains no material with Neil Young; it peaked at #122 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.

In 1980, Stephen Stills invited Graham Nash to accompany him on a tour of Europe, both subsequently deciding to record songs together in this unexplored permutation of CSNY. The label however, wanted more CSN product, and with the pair still in process, released this package for the Christmas sales season.[1] David Crosby, apparently, had no hand in the selection, dismissing the album as "an obvious money trip, nothing more."[2]

All songs were previously released, with four having appeared on non-CSN albums. "Love the One You're With" originated on Stephen Stills and includes Crosby and Nash on vocals; "Change Partners" is from Stephen Stills 2; "First Things First" from a Stills' solo album on Columbia, Stills; and "Critical Mass/To the Last Whale" from the Crosby & Nash album, Wind on the Water. Two other songs received alteration; Stills edited "Carry On," lopping off the "Questions" tag section, adding a new lead guitar solo along with overdubbed bass and drums. Also, the string arrangement was removed from "I Give You Give Blind."

This album is currently out of print, and only had limited release on compact disc; copies on-line fetch relatively high prices for a single disc as of June 2006.
