Buffalo Springfield is the self-titled debut album by folk rock band Buffalo Springfield, released in late 1966. It was originally released in both mono and stereo versions as Atco (SD) 33-200, but when the single "For What It's Worth" became a hit, the album was re-released as Atco (SD) 33-200A adding it but dropping "Baby Don't Scold Me". "Baby Don't Scold Me" has never been reissued in stereo: all CD releases feature only the mono mix.
The album was produced by the group's managers, Charles Greene and Brian Stone, each of whom had minimal experience as a record producer, and the band was generally unhappy with the sound of the album and felt that it didn't reflect the intensity of their live shows. The band asked Atco for time to re-record the album, but the label, not wanting to miss the Christmas holiday season, insisted that the record be released as it was. However, the label did give Stills and Young permission to personally mix the mono version of the LP themselves, and the Buffalo Springfield have long insisted that their mono version was superior to the stereo version.
Buffalo Springfield was an American-Canadian rock band formed in 1966, combining elements of rock, folk, and country music.
Though the band released only three albums and disbanded two years after its formation, its varying lineup brought together a number of diverse musicians who went on to have a lasting impact on rock music, including Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Dewey Martin, Jim Messina and Jim Fielder.
When The Company broke up at the end of that tour, Stills moved to the West Coast, where he worked as a studio musician and auditioned unsuccessfully for, among other things, The Monkees. He had been in a band called Buffalo Fish with fellow Greenwich Village transplant Peter Tork, who encouraged him to audition.
Buffalo Springfield is a compilation album released on Atco Records in 1973. It is the fifth album by the rock band Buffalo Springfield, and their second compilation. It was assembled by the label well after the band had broken up at a time when Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were both quite popular and had not released any new material as a group for over two years, with their 1974 reunion tour eight months away in the future. It features a nine-minute extended version of the song "Bluebird" by Stephen Stills still unavailable elsewhere, including on the 2001 box set. It has never been issued on compact disc in North America, and is currently out of print.
Buffalo Springfield is a career retrospective of the late '60s folk rockband of the same name, released in 2001. Band member Neil Young assembled the tracks in chronological order to show how the band evolved and disintegrated in the span of two years. Of the four CDs, the first three represent the actual box set while the fourth CD contains the band's first two albums, all but two tracks of which had already appeared in identical versions elsewhere on the first three CDs. It reached #194 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart, and stayed on the chart for the single week. The set omits the stereo version of the Buffalo Springfield album, the mono version of Buffalo Springfield Again, the album version of "On The Way Home", "Pretty Girl Why", and "Four Days Gone" from Last Time Around, and the songs "Carefree Country Day" and "In The Hour Of Not Quite Rain" from Last Time Around. It also lacks the long version of "Bluebird", only ever issued on the band's self-titled 2-LP compilation, Buffalo Springfield, released in 1973.

At age 20 in 1967, Messina produced BuffaloSpringfield’s “Buffalo Springfield Again.” Messina joined the band as the bassist in 1968 and was part of the act’s final album that year, the aptly titled “Last Time Around.”.
