Buffalo Springfield (album) - Definition and Overview

Buffalo Springfield is the self-titled debut album by folk rock band Buffalo Springfield, released in 1967 (see 1967 in music). It was originally released in a mono version, but when the single "For What It's Worth" became a hit, the album was released in stereo and included "For What It's Worth." The band was generally unhappy with the sound of the album and felt that it didn't reflect the intensity of their live shows.
