Speaking of lost recordings, for those who didn't get their RDA of NPR over the weekend, it turns out that some Stephen Stills demo tapes that were lost to the ages have been found, and are being released:
With his days in the band Buffalo Springfield coming to an end, singer Stephen Stills found himself at a crossroads on April 26, 1968. Stills paid a recording engineer to "just roll tape" on a few new songs Stills had been working on. Many of those songs would go on to define his career — both with Crosby, Stills & Nash and in his solo work.
Those early recording sessions were lost until someone stumbled upon the poorly-marked tapes when the studio went out of business. Stills talks about those sessions, which were recently released for the first time, with Debbie Elliott.
They played some of the demos during the story, and the sound quality is pretty amazing for old demo tapes that were sitting in a box for thirty years or so.
