Note: My full written review of the Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 release of CSN (1977) is now up at audiophilia.com/reviews/2025/2/22/crosby-stills-nash-csn-1977-analogue-productions-atlantic-75-45rpm-reissue-2025
One of the most anticipated releases in the Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series of vinyl reissues is the 1977 album from Crosby Stills & Nash simply titled CSN. It is the third studio album from David Crosby, Steven Stills, and Graham Nash. Today we take a look at this beautiful reissue which was cut at 45 rpm by Chris Bellman. The two record set is pressed at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a deluxe Stoughton Jacket. I was able to compare the original pressing, and earlier cut at 33rpm by Chris Bellman for Rhino, and the new Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 release. Auditioning took place on the beautiful Perpetuum EbnerPE 6060 turntable, which is mounted with an Ortophon Quintet Black moving coil cartridge. The rest of the system is listed at the bottom of this description box.
