"So Far" is the fourth album by Crosby, Stills & Nash (their third as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), and the first compilation album released by the group. Shipping as a gold record and peaking at #1 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, it was the band's third chart-topping album in a row.

Compiled from a stand-alone single and two studio albums, "Crosby, Stills & Nash" and "Déjà Vu", it is the only place where that single's flip "Find the Cost of Freedom" can be found on one compact disc. The A-side "Ohio" can also be found on Neil Young's 2004 Greatest Hits album, as well as his earlier Decade compilation. Capitalizing on the highly publicized and anticipated reunion tour of CSNY in 1974, the album consisted of eleven studio tracks from a group that had only issued twenty-two to date. Five of the songs had been Top 40 hits, and such was the demand for any sign of activity from the quartet that "So Far" topped the charts.

The cover art derives from a painting by the group's friend and colleague, Joni Mitchell, whose song "Woodstock" appears as well. The album was reissued for CD on October 25, 1990, and again after being remastered at Ocean View Digital using the original master tapes on September 20, 1994.

Miscellany

"So Far" was released by Atlantic in lieu of new CSNY products. Graham Nash later insisted that the group was against the idea of such an album coming out, calling the concoction of a greatest-hits album from two LPs "absurd."
