Crosby, Stills & Nash
CSN

Album US 1977 on Atlantic label
Rock (Folk Rock, Soft Rock, Psychedelic Rock)

The picture on this cover is the INITIAL Photo that was used for this album: Joel Bernstein photographed the trio in serious poses aboard a boat, and initial copies of CSN bore that picture on the cover. The next picture Bernstein took of Crosby, Stills and Nash was a shot of them breaking into laughter at the thought of just having posed as "serious artists." The trio later decided that they liked the second photo better, and it was decided that all future pressings of CSN should bear the "laughter" photo. Produced for Fat Albert Productions.
