Background

"This is the first in a series of retrospective recordings that Stills plans to issue, among them a box set, a live set, and (in association with Experience Hendrix) an album of studio session demos he recorded with Jimi Hendrix, his then guitar teacher (Hendrix appeared on Stills' debut solo effort), as well as a live compilation."[3] The songs were recorded from late 1971-1973, during rehearsals at Stills English mansion, Criteria Studios, and in Colorado, with the exception of 'My Love Is A Gentle Thing' which was recorded in 1975.
