CSN (box set)

CSN is a box set released in 1991 by Crosby, Stills and Nash. It features material from their albums as a group in addition to selections from their various solo and duet albums. It also features many outtakes, including from sessions that did not result in an album by the group. Highlights include a cover of The Beatles' "Blackbird" and the full length take of "Almost Cut My Hair." With the exception of "Helpless" and "Ohio," the set excludes any material written by occasional bandmate Neil Young.
