Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A host of contradictions--the insufficiency of her collaborators, the spectacular potential of her voice, the inconsistency of her efforts--have left Joplin's historical legacy a tangled mess. The new 3 CD box set, Janis, captures that mess in all its glory but does little to untangle it. Typical of compiler Bob Irwin's decisions was his choice to replace the familiar version of George Gershwin's "Summertime" from the "Cheap Thrills" album by a weaker but unreleased alternate take. There are too many examples of strangled singing by Joplin's male partners in Big Brother and not enough examples of her incendiary live performances. The album begins with Joplin's first-ever recording, a vocal-and-autoharp version of "What Good Can Drinkin' Do" taped in a friend's living room in Austin in '62. That's followed by two unreleased blues recorded with guitarist Jorma Kaukonen in a San Francisco living room in '65 and eight songs from the controversial (and hard-to-find) 1966 debut album, "Big Brother & the Holding Company." "Cheap Thrills" is represented by five cuts, four outtakes and one live version; "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" is represented by seven cuts, one outtake and two live versions; and "Pearl" by eight cuts and three outtakes. Other rarities include a longer spoken introduction to "Mercedes Benz" and two live performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show."

The 48-page booklet features nude photos of Joplin on the outside and feminist essays about her on the inside. Ellen Willis compares Joplin's self-created image to Madonna's, ignoring the crucial fact that Joplin was a brilliant singer while Madonna is hardly any kind of singer at all. Ann Powers addresses the music itself and correctly points out that Joplin's art was not merely unmediated emotion but a premeditated mix of gambles and craft, of Bessie Smith's open-throated wails and Otis Redding's gruff shouts. She was some kind of singer, and that's what she should be remembered for. --Geoffrey Himes

This CD was supplied by Santa Clare Books. the service was fantastic and the CD was not only in its original wrapper but was in pristine condition which made it all the better as it was a gift.
What's not to like, the package arrived in the shortest time, in perfect condition, and despite it being hard to find the price was more than fair. And if you're a Janis fan check this one out, it won't disappoint.
If you are looking for anything sold by Santa Clare Books they should be your first stop they are 5 gold stars in every way.

If you can get hold of the ORIGINAL gate-fold case with the disks and the book, then well done!
This was just that! I have owned it before, but did not expect the same 20 years later. More recently, the album has only been sold in the CD-case sized triple-disc package. However, this was, and is, the original packaging. It didn't even seem to have ever been played!
Perfect buy!!!
