SpaceAce Sunday | Buffalo Springfield (1966, Canada/US)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 1054 on The List. And, as it was submitted by our dear friend J aka SpaceAce, this is technically a SpaceAce Sunday. Why not on a Sunday? Well. Today is a year since he left us. A whole year. Makes no sense at all.

As for this album, I somehow did not know Buffalo Springfield was a Neil Young band or that they’re the ones responsible for the fantastic protest single “For What It’s Worth”, a song I’ve always absolutely loved. As soon as I pressed play on this album and heard the first few notes of that song, I literally smiled and thanked J out loud.

Thanks, J. Love that I’m still learning from you.

You are still very much missed. 💜

SpaceAce Sunday | Buffalo Springfield (1966, Canada/US)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 1054 on The List. And, as it was submitted by our dear friend J aka SpaceAce, this is technically a SpaceAce Sunday. Why not on a Sunday? Well. Today is a year since he left us. A whole year. Makes no sense at all.

I knew I wouldn’t want to write this post so, after noticing that the next submission from J was a s/t, I started the whole Self-Titled Summer series to psych myself up. That didn’t work though, as I wrote the last STS post a couple weeks ago and have been stalled on this since. I even did a full listen-through of Carly Rae Jepsen’s entire discography to see if that would help (J was a HUGE Carly fan). But it didn’t.

So, if you don’t mind, rather than giving this album – Buffalo Springfield’s debut – the regular STS treatment, I’m just going to leave it at a few random thoughts I had when I gave it my first listen, just over a month ago, and imagine what J would have to say about it.

  • Seems like the perfect SpaceAce pick to land on today, given J’s origins were also Canada/US.
  • I did not know Buffalo Springfield was a Neil Young band or that they’re the ones responsible for the fantastic protest single “For What It’s Worth”, a song I’ve always absolutely loved. As soon as I pressed play on this album and heard the first few notes of that song, I literally smiled and thanked J out loud.
  • There are variances in the tracklists, depending on what version/medium you’re listening to. Only some include “For What It’s Worth” (recorded after the album was first released, then added for the reissue a few months later), either as the first track or somewhere on side B; “Leave” seems to be on different sides depending on the variant; and “Baby Don’t Scold Me” is missing completely from some variants and streaming services (swapped out for “For What It’s Worth”).
  • Aside from “For What It’s Worth”, the other stand out track for me is “Out of My Mind”, with Neil Young on main vocals.

Thanks, J. Love that I’m still learning from you.

You are still very much missed.
