Some opinions and research ideas, not for the main article
[edit]The CD cover appears to be a mockup by Rhino's art department, but it's only my opinion, so I'm leaving that out.
The date question might veer into original research, but at least Stills being in Arizona on April 26 is well attested, e.g. the concert list in the Buffalo Springfield box set, so that much is a factual statement. Let me add a couple of further ideas here. Billboard reported in 2007, "Stephen Stills was in a New York studio with then-girlfriend Judy Collins recording music for the film "The Subject Was Roses."" so possibly the date of that could be determined. Additionally, when did Stills, Crosby, and Kantner get together on Crosby's boat to write "Wooden Ships"? Crosby bought the boat in 1968 after he got out of his Byrds contract, so possibly an earliest-possible date could be determined from that. JoeBrennan (talk) 16:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
"The Subject Was Roses" includes "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", and that is the title of the Collins LP that Stills plays on. Three sessions from the LP are dated in Collins's compilation LP set "So Early in the Spring" as August 30 ("My Father"), September 4 ("Bird on the Wire"), and September 5 ("Pretty Polly"), all of which have Stills playing guitar in Elektra Sound Recorders, Los Angeles. A (speculative) scrawled 9/26 might look like 4/26. This date makes more sense since it gives Stills time to have written all these songs after Buffalo Springfield. It also puts the date well into the period when he had started playing with Crosby and occasionally with Nash. JoeBrennan (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
