i Page 4 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1973 PEANUTS Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes By TED BORISKIE With Christmas around the cor ner, no less than six or seven major album releases can be ex pected each week. To take advantage of the De cember sales surge, record com pany executives will sometimes hold back an album’s release so that it falls within a couple of months of Christmas and will still be new and gift material at Yule time. Sometimes the greedy record executives will release a greatest hit or a live LP that has been sitting around in storage for two or three years. Such is the case of “Buffalo Springfield,” a two-record set just released by Atco. Buffalo Springfield was a Ca nadian-American group in the middle sixties that tried hard and failed miserably in achieving mass success. The group consisted of Neil Young, Steven Stills and Richie Furay on guitars, Bruce Palmer on bass (later replaced by Jim Messina) and Dewey Mar tin on drums. In 1966, as the liner notes say, “personal conflicts, mismanage ment and the usual had eaten away at the core of the group and caused irreparable damage.” To the great disappointment of their avid but small following, they de cided it was best to dissolve the group. After the break-up, they all sort of milled around and looked for the key to the elusive mass success. Young tried soloing and playing with Crazy Horse. Stills did studio work and played in the much ballyhooed “Supersession” with A1 Kooper and Mike Bloom field. Furay and Messina stayed together to form Poco. In 1968, Stills joined with the Byrds’ David Crosby and the Hol lies’ Graham Nash to make an in credibly successful album. Young joined in on the group’s second LP and the rest is history. Buffalo Springfield released only three albums before break ing up so a two-record retrospec tive collection is a study more in leaving songs out rather than Cinema (Continued from page 1) American Broadcasting Compan ies/ Inc.

The Canadian government granted me asylum.” Soviet pressure prevented him from getting a job, he said, but he refused to return. He taught high school science in the Northwest Territory before rising to his position at Laurier.

The only song never before re leased is a nine minute jam built around Stills’ “Bluebird.” “For What It’s Worth,” “Sit Down, I Think I Love You,” “Mr. Soul,” “Broken Arrow” and “Kind Wom an” are all back in their original forms to present this tribute to the supergroup that never was. With old Buffalo Springfield al bums readily available, I can’t see much purpose in this release. At co is probably trying to drum up new interest in this group as the old members are talking about a reunion album and possibly a tour. A reunion of Buffalo Spring- field may wait in the not too dis tant future. Stills and Young have seen the spark disappear from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and neither is, shall we say, ecstatic over the direction their solo careers have been tak ing as of late. Furay is still wait ing for public recognition of Poco and a reunion could not hurt the chances of Poco’s success, if it’s not too late already. Martin has nothing else to do which leaves only Messina. Messina is riding high on the popularity charts with his team ing with Kenny Loggins as a sort of country-folk duo, one of the most successful moves in the mu sic of the 70’s. The group could try to dig up Palmer instead but his presence on the album would not pack half the punch as Mes sina’s, nor is he anywhere near a bass player or songwriter of Messina’s quality. This problem may be solved with Loggins’ longstanding de sire to make a solo album. While Loggins is getting his jollies alone, Messina could use the free time to go ahead and joint in the reunion effort. The album would almost surely be a commercial success, could very well be an artistic success and could do noth ing but help all members publi city-wise. The reunion exists only in ru mors now but it is no secret that Furay and, surprisingly, Young are both eager to see it come about. It would be interesting to see these guys show us what we have been missing the past few years. FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED It’S HAD IT tUON'uJE HAP IT ALL WON!
