Description
Offered for sale is a rare purple vinyl pressing of Springfield Roots by Buffalo Springfield, issued on the Trademark of Quality label.
Note: This LP also includes tracks by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Poco.
About this copy: This copy of Springfield Roots is a 1972 pressing on the Trademark of Quality label.
The cover is likely not original; it is a plain white cover in VG+ condition. It has a bit of general wear, but no writing or splits.
The insert is a reproduction.
The purple vinyl disc has the later “Smoking Pig” label and is a rare variation on this title and it is translucent with slight marbling. The disc is M- on side one and VG+ on side two, as that side has a couple of light scratches that should be inaudible.
A nice copy of a rare Buffalo Springfield/CSNY/Poco collectible.
Background: Springfield Roots was originally released in 1970 on the 5D label. It was reissued on the Trademark of Quality label in 1972.

Tracks are:
- Bluebird – Buffalo Springfield (unreleased mono mix with Neil Young guitar overdubs)
- Baby Don’t Scold Me (stereo mix)
- Hard Luck – Poco (demo)
- My Kind of Love – Poco (demo)
- 49 Bye Byes – Crosby, Stills, Nash (demo)
