  Buffalo Springfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buffalo Springfield was an influential folk-rock group instrumental in igniting the careers of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Jim Messina.
Formed in early 1966, the pressures of an everchanging group and the world around them would disband the group in under twenty-four months, with three albums and a handful of demo recordings, studio outtakes and live offerings for the group to show for their efforts.
In 2001 an eponymous, career-spanning box set was assembled by Young and released, featuring many alternate takes, demos and alternate mixes over the first three of its four discs, with the fourth disc containing the group’s first two albums.
