Where the box set is a more comprehensive overview, this one focuses on previously unreleased tracks, hits, and favorites. Of its 36 tracks, 13 had been unreleased previously, and nine contain all of the group's
Top 40 hits from the
Billboard Hot 100. The group's some-time partner
Neil Young appears on eight tracks, including his own songs "
Helpless" and "
Ohio". The previously unreleased material includes studio recordings by the full quartet of "Helplessly Hoping" (originally released by the trio), "Taken at All" (originally by Crosby & Nash), and "The Lee Shore" (previously available only live). The set also includes both the demo of "You Don't Have to Cry", the first recording they made as Crosby, Stills & Nash, and the three tracks from
their most recent studio album as of 1991 that are also on the box set. The original recordings were produced by
David Crosby,
Stephen Stills,
Graham Nash, and Neil Young, with assistance from Howard Albert, Ron Albert, Stanley Johnston, and
Paul Rothchild.
Audio engineers on the original recordings include Stephen Barncard, Larry Cox, Russ Gary, Don Gooch, Steve Gursky, Bill Halverson,
