So Far is the fourth album by , their third as , and the first compilation album released by the group. Shipping as a  and peaking at No. 1 on the  Top Pop Albums chart, it was the band's third chart-topping album in a row. It has been certified six times  by the , and is the second best-selling album by any configuration of the quartet in tandem after their 1970 studio album, .

Content

The album contains five of the band's six singles to date, omitting "", all of which had reached the . It is the first release on long-playing album of the single "" as well as its  "Find the Cost of Freedom", and the only place both can be found on one . The other five tracks were taken from the band's two studio albums,  and Déjà Vu, although the other singles appear here in their album-length versions and mixes.

The album's 11 studio tracks derived from a group that had only issued 22 to date. Graham Nash later insisted that the group was against the album's release, calling the concoction of a greatest-hits album from two LPs and one non-LP single "absurd". Atlantic Records wished to capitalize on the highly publicized and anticipated  in 1974, however, and such was the demand for any new product by the quartet that So Far topped the charts anyway and went gold immediately.

Young appears on only four of the album's 11 songs: "Ohio"; "Find the Cost of Freedom"; ""; and "". He had only appeared on half the tracks of the Déjà Vu LP. The remaining songs without Young, with the exception of "Déjà Vu", also appear on Crosby, Stills & Nash's  compact disc of 2005.

The cover art was painted by the group's friend and colleague . The album was reissued on compact disc in 1988 and again in 1995 after being  by  at Ocean View Digital using the original master tapes. It was reissued yet again, with no apparent additional remastering, on September 30, 2008. The album has been rendered relatively superfluous with the appearance of the  in 1991, which contains all of these tracks with the exceptions of "", "Woodstock", "", and "", which are in either different versions or different mixes.
