Produced the year I graduated from high school, and began college. I was already a fan of the Hollies, for years, and had been very fond of Crosby, Stills, and Nash from their initial album, and the performance at Woodstock. I think I bought the album much later, but remember first seeing it at the house of a lady friend in college.
