All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. Although this album was made amid the fragmentation of Buffalo Springfield, that fact is not apparent in retrospect. On the contrary, there is an appealingly gentle quality about the group's third and final album. As Jim Messina and Richie Furay (later to join together in Poco) took control of the group, they developed a pronounced country-rock feel. Young's premier contribution is "I Am a Child" and the then-prolific Stills hits the button with four gems: the plea for world unity, "Uno Mundo;" the song of a fugitive, "Four Days Gone;" "Special Care;" and the original "Questions." LAST TIME AROUND is a much better album than we could have expected from a band about to burst apart.

Buffalo Springfield was one of the definitive 1960s folk-rock groups. Their surplus of strong writers and personalities (including Neil Young and Steve Stills) produced some inspired recordings, but there was no way to keep all that talent under one roof. After a brief, sparkling career and three albums, they splintered into Poco; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; and, of course, the mighty Neil's five-decade solo career. Despite the brevity of the group's life, their country/rock/folk hybrid laid the groundwork for much of what followed in the '70s.
