King Midas In Reverse
"King Midas in Reverse" is a song by English pop group the Hollies, written by Graham Nash but credited to Allan Clarke, Nash and Tony Hicks. It was released as a single in September 1967 in anticipation of the band's album ''Butterfly''. Musical style The track was a departure in style and influenced by Graham Nash's visits to America. Nash wanted to take the band in a new direction which was resisted by other members of the band, and this led to his departure and move to the United States. It was released in the UK on the Parlophone label (R5637) and in the US on the Epic label (10234). While a critical success, the song was a commercial failure by the Hollies' standards, prompting them to write and record the more commercial song " Jennifer Eccles" for their next single. Reception ''Cash Box'' said that it's "a crashing folk-drenched rock side with heavy push in the rhythm section and some fine group vocal work" that also has "stunning production." ''Record World'' called it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

4 Way Street
''4 Way Street'' is a live album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, released in 1971 by Atlantic Records. It was the second album as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, after ''Déjà Vu'' in 1970. An earlier version of the band, with just Crosby, Stills, and Nash, had released the self-titled ''Crosby, Stills & Nash'' in 1969. The live recordings were taken from shows on the band's 1970 tour, with performances at the Fillmore East (New York City) on June 2 through June 7, 1970; The Forum (Los Angeles, California) on June 26 through June 28, 1970; and the Auditorium Theatre (Chicago, Illinois) on July 5, 1970.

The tensions led to CSNY temporarily dissolving shortly after the recording of ''4 Way Street''. The album reached No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' 2 ...
