Fun Facts
This It It! is a 14:29 min montage of exerpts from the Buffalo Springfield's final show at Long Beach. It consists of parts of "Rock N Roll Woman", "A Child's Claim to Fame" and the ending of "Bluebird". As with most of the soundboard recordings in circulation, the vocals are saturated.
Sell Out is edited to remove the chorus of "la la la la la la". Apparently Neil was embarrassed by this. Another difference between this and the alternate version in circulation is the instrumentation. The Archives track has drums, whereas the "Missing Herd" version has Piano.

Oddly, this disk is known to omit many relevant recorded versions of Neil's songs. Many can be found on the Buffalo Springfield Box set including "I'm Your Kind of Guy", "Falcon Lake", "Whatever Happened to Saturday Night?", "On The Way Home" and demo's of other songs. Additionally, there was a rumored version of "Expecting to Fly" with Neil humming the string parts and a demo of "Broken Arrow" which made the cut for neither the BS Box or the Archives.
"L.A." was a song known to have been written in the era and hoped for a release in Vol 1 but may actually not have been recorded after all. But most tantalizingly, an obscurity titled "High School Graduation", penned by Neil and recorded as a demo was left off.

"Slowly Burning" has finally been given to us and we can easily hear the core melody which eventually became "Long Walk Home", but the studio take of "Whiskey Boot Hill" from the same sessions remains in the vaults.
