Offered for sale is an original Japanese pressing of Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, including the original obi and lyric insert.

About this copy: This copy of Deja Vu is a 1970 pressing on the blue and green Atlantic label, pressed by Nippon Grammophon.

The cover is M-.  The obi is VG with several wrinkles, a repaired tear in the center, fading at the top edge, and small holes near the top and bottom edges.  Someone likely had the obi hanging on their wall.  The “hojyuhyo,” or reorder tag, is still attached.

The lyric insert is M-.

The disc is VG+, with some light scuffs on each side.  There are a many spindle marks on the labels.  The disc plays with some noise.

A nice, if imperfect, copy of a terrific LP that is very hard to find as a first pressing.

Background: Deja Vu is the second album by Crosby, Stills and Nash, with the addition of Stills’ former bandmate in Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young. The album reportedly took 800 hours of studio time to record, and became one of the most anticipated releases of all time.

Deja Vu reached #1 on the U.S. album charts and has been certified platinum 7 times. It also reached #5 in the UK. The songs “Our House,” “Teach Your Children,” and “Woodstock,” all reached the American Top 40.

Allmusic.com gave Deja Vu a rare 5 star review:

One of the most hotly awaited second albums in history — right up there with those by the Beatles and the Band — Déjà Vu lived up to its expectations and rose to number one on the charts. …. Déjà Vu worked as an album, a product of four potent musical talents who were all ascending to the top of their game coupled with some very skilled production, engineering, and editing. There were also some obvious virtues in evidence — the addition of Neil Young to the Crosby, Stills & Nash lineup added to the level of virtuosity, with Young and Stephen Stills rising to new levels of complexity and volume on their guitars…. All of this variety made Déjà Vu a rich musical banquet for the most serious and personal listeners, while mass audiences reveled in the glorious harmonies and the thundering electric guitars, which were presented in even more dramatic and expansive fashion on the tour that followed.
